The Wabash Railroad's class P-1 comprised seven 4-6-4 steam locomotives.
The first five were constructed in 1943 and 1944 using the boilers from their unsuccessful K-5 class three-cylinder 2-8-2 locomotives that had been built by the American Locomotive Company's Schenectady works in 1925.
Two additional locomotives were converted in 1946 and 1947 using a pair of K-4 class 2-8-2s as donors.
They were painted blue, with a broad white stripe down the side of the locomotive and tender. The locomotives’ number was painted on the tender[1]
