Yah, I already knew this was the 2nd 828 on the P&WV, just didn't know what became of the original 828..........a 11 year time frame (1948-1959) to replace the original.

P&WV 828/NW 500828 is ex-WM 1840.
The cab was retired under WM AFE 141-59.....at a cost of $3451.00.
WM records show that this retirement was completed on July 27, 1959.
