C&O 614 to VMT

[NW Mailing List]

Jimmy, thanks for the reply. I stand corrected. It's funny that you ended your message with the "self destruct" passage from "Mission Impossible", as I got into broadcasting after being furloughed from Norfolk Southern. I do a lot of radio/tv commercials, as well as voiceover work for The History Channel, etc. So getting to the point, My last voice work was to read a fake "Mission Impossible" opening for the City of Virginia Beach's cable channel.

"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."
 
Mr. Phelps,
    Yes, there was an article that specifically said that the 614 was the "last commercially built locomotive in America". When I first read the blurb, I thought the same way you did. Then after reading it over the "commercially" qualifier finally registered in my mind, so I let it go at that.
    Now, whether or not it was the very "last commercially built locomotive", I have no idea. Where said article is, I also have no idea. I came across it via a link to some on-line forum to which I don't subscribe.
