C&O 614 to VMT

[NW Mailing List]

I wrote the original challenge to the news article that claimed C&O 614 to be 'the most modern steam locomotive built in America." I was talking about the mistake made in THIS article. If somebody read another article that added the qualifier "the most modern commercially built steam locomotive", then produce that article, or were you just ticked because I insulted the lame stream media. Hey, I am a member of the UTU, but that does'nt mean that I vote Democratic in every election, just because the Union tells me to. John Katz

I remember seeing one account that included "commercial" but couldn't find it again, so I didn't cite it.  The other version had no qualifiers.  We all know the correct version, I recommend we go into "holiday spirit" mode at this point.
 
Thanks,

If I remember correctly, the key word was "Commercially". In as much as the N&W didn't sell locos "commercially", I believe the original statement should be interpreted as accurate.
