    $86,000 for a moving machine producing 4000 HP!

    Nice paint striping--was that done specifically for the Southwestern Limited? Those J-1's were sure pretty as built. That one has Walschaert valve gear, most likely later converted to Baker.

    Why couldn't the NYC have squirreled away a few representative samples of its steam power the way the PRR did at Northumberland?

    I suspect top management's greed for scrap steel payments outweighed their love of history and pride. :(
