Steam locomotives loaned to KCS during WW2

I found a couple articles from the July and November 2018 (page 7-9) issues of the Arkansas-Boston Mountains Chapter of the NRHS. Very interesting reading that shows the Monon leased a batch of engines to the Kansas City Southern in Arkansas during the 1942-1944 timeframe. I knew about Pacific # 412 since there's a nice color photo I've seen before of it in service on the KCS, but didn't know about the 0-6-0, 2-10-2's (600, 601 and 606) or the Mikados (502, 511 and 524). I had to laugh that they considered B-9 0-6-0 #37 as too heavy (monstrous) for their use, after having broken so many yard rails in Fort Smith.
