Just behind its smoke box is a duct and girder for the deflector style seen in the lead photo. The author belives the crane to the left of the tender was used to lift a bonnet into the stack. In the '50s, a K-1 was based at Clare as passenger protection power for trains out of Cincinnati Union Terminal. It also was used as the west end shifter between Sardinia, OH and Clare yard.
