Original power for the Bluefield Flyer came in the form of 4 beautiful little Atlantic type 4-4-2s.  1571 is seen here on the main line at Mount Frigid, pausing for a photo, possibly for use as a publicity photo. The train moved fast and sported a Victorian style coach/baggage combine, a very fine coach with a women's dressing area attached to the women's restroom and a parlor/observation car.  When the railroad wanted to replace the consist with heavyweight equipment, the 4-4-2s proved not powerful enough.  in 1910, light pacifics 915 and 916 became the standard power for the train. They were finally replaced by the larger P5s in 1923.
