Dear HighIron <br /> <br />Forgive me, as the last dig was just that a dig, now that I am in the amongst professionals I'll have to keep on track and be more circumspect. Your comment about the Cascade engines and I take it you meant those that worked the Allegheny and Appalachian ranges are not nearly as well documented. I have approximately 20+ books on North American Steam and the majority of them have pictures of the BB's working Sherman Hill and yes I wish I could have been there to witness this exhibition of steam supremacy. As for the Allegheny's, which numbered 60, the pictures found in most books are far and few between. As many have said different engines for different roles. All had a part in the History of Railroading. We should consider our selves lucky that we are able to dream the dream.
