C&O--and there's one of them at the B&O Museum! C&O's were numbered 490-493; it's the 490 that was preserved.

Some of Canadian Pacifics Hudsons were semi-streamlined..
Generally a lurker by nature

Be Alert
The world needs more lerts.

It's the 3rd rail that makes the difference.

C&NW also had streamlined Hudsons, the E-4's. They were pretty much restricted to the Omaha main because of their weight.
The daily commute is part of everyday life but I get two rides a day out of it. Paul

NOBODY LISTED THEM ALL, BUT NOBODY GOT ANY WRONG EITHER. THIS WASN'T AS MUCH OF A QUIZ, BUT STILL INTERESTING.

The DR ((Deuche Reichbahn)) had two; 05-001 and 05-002, and I beleive one is the offical second fastest reccorded speed after the A4 Pacific in Enland.

One still exists and does 100mph steam train excursions.
