I'm in no way a technical person, so I yield to many others here, but I think the driver counterweights on the White Pass outside frame engines were still on the wheels. There were only cranks outside the frame and not actual weights. On the K-28s the counterweights are a large mass external to the frame (at least on the third driver) and if that is the case, the K-28s may have had ground clearance problems that the White Pass locos didn't??? Just a theory.....
