C&O 614 to VMT

[NW Mailing List]

Definitley not as 614 was built in June 1948 and our own 611 was buit in May 
1950. 614 also isn't the last commercially 

build steam locomotive either as Lima and Baldwin were still building steam into 
1949. We had a very similar conversation 

on Trainorders and after some research I came to the conclusion that 614 might 
be the last dedicated passenger locomotive
built by a commercial builder.

Was 614 the last steam passenger locomotive built in the U.S.?
Just asking.

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. John Katz, Virginia
