The WD locomotives totally throw a ringer into the mix. All of the locomotives had WD before their numbers, which didn't always match with the railroad they were working on. Meaning that it would be possible to have a WD123 locomotive, along with a 123 from that particular line. Curiouser still, many of the locomotives had class letters under their windows (F for the USA class). However they again didn't always match up with the actual classes for the railroads. For example, Southern classified them as Prairies, though a Prairie locomotive is a 2-6-2.
