If I understand correctly, the T-12's were used when the passenger and freight ran separately, the K-28's handled the heavier mixed trains. While either would be authentic, I think the intent here is to replicate a mixed. A lot of pictures have survived of the mixed operation, and I think that is what a lot of folks tend to associate with the Chili Line.
