I was lucky enough to see a couple of cab forwards around Sacramento in the '50s while on a vacation with my parents. Quite an engine. Just think how hard it would be on the fireman if it were coal fired without a stoker. Climbing along the walk way of the AC with a shovel of coal while the engine is running at speed would not be fun. If my mind serves me corrctly a couple of the ACs were coal fired. Do not how the coal got the the firebox. Think all of tha ACs have been scrapped without none preserved in any museums. Hope I am wrong on this point. Does anyone know if one still exists? A couple of years ago i bought my son a MTH AC inO gauge. Even in this small size it still is beautiful. <br /> <br />***
