<p>[quote user="NorthWest"]</p> <p>Also, look here: <a href="http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/default.aspx">http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/default.aspx</a></p> <p>I recently had the privilege to visit C&O 2727. I stood for a moment and imagined her speeding past with a massive plume, followed by endless black hoppers. What a beautiful sight. </p> <div style="clear:both;"></div> <p>[/quote]</p> <p> Yes, 2727 is an amazing locomotive, If you can find it, one engineer wrote the museum a letter about running her. Apparently he ran her on almost all of her runs from the time she was delivered to the time she had her fires dropped. I would put it here, but I don't want to commit plagiarism. The letter is in their "Collection Highlights" book, available on their website. Unfortunately, it seems to be over-priced. I go to the museum at least once a month and have pictures if you would like them.</p>
