[PRR-FAX] Digest Number 1844]

Mon Oct 11 10:14:13 EDT 2004

Is that 4-6-2 #587.. or 578? I knew 578 was at the ORM, but did not know
there was a 587 or where it was located. Locomotive #578 was indeed a 4-6-2
and was operated in the 70's. It was active on the N&W until, I believe,
1959, at which time it was donated to the ORM by the N&W....
