The 924 was a class K-1 Prairie-type 2-6-2, built by Alco in August, 1908, as the Chicago, Milwaukee & Puget Sound No. 2040. This class of steam engine was engine normally assigned to the run to Hanford. It was routinely serviced at Othello. Most cars for Hanford were billed through the station at Beverly and at one time during the construction of Hanford, the money the Milwaukee received from there was the highest for any station on Lines West.

Hope you don't mind, but linking back to this. I'm writing a blog entry about the HO scale Sakai 2-6-2, which was apparently modeled on this class. Imagine my surprise!
Anyway, thanks for writing this, and credit will be given.
Glad you found this of value.
