Locobase suspects that this locomotive's original dimensions didn't include a 180-psi boiler. The NY, WS & B sold the 149 to the Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburgh in December 1886 for $7,175. The BR & P operated this doughty little Consolidation in class K for over 30 years before selling to the 8-mile Black Mountain Railroad in eastern Kentucky in 1919. The BM RR ran it as #1 from Blackmont to Alva even after the Louisville & Nashville bought the locomotive in 1923. After another ten years' service, the 667 was scrapped in July 1933 as part of a general clean-up and disposal.
