Louisville and Nashville 152 is a preserved K-2A class 4-6-2 "Pacific" type steam locomotive, built in 1905 by the Rogers Locomotive Works (RLW) for the Louisville and Nashville Railroad (L&N). It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and owned by the Kentucky Railway Museum (KRM) at New Haven, Kentucky in southernmost Nelson County, Kentucky. It is the oldest known remaining 4-6-2 "Pacific" type locomotive to exist. It is also the "Official State Locomotive of Kentucky", designated as such on March 6, 2000. Today, the locomotive is currently undergoing its FRA inspection and overhaul to return it to operating condition.
