Shorter footnotes

For the sheer number of books involved in this article Harvard-style shortened footnotes might better going forward. Also makes it simpler to verify citations. Mackensen (talk) 14:09, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Over-reliance?

This article, while informative and readable, may over-rely on one source: Morgan. Surely there are other sources for some of these propositions. --Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 02:59, 5 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Go for it, Piledhigheranddeeper. I did a thorough search for books on the train, and Morgan was the only full book I could find. I found bits and pieces in other books, as you can see from the references, but nothing really substantial. Michael Barera (talk) 05:40, 5 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Locomotive

The article currently does not mention the fate of the locomotive. It appears that it the UP converted it to an E8, Amtrak to an E9A, and now it is at Danbury Railway Museum in NYC regalia. It never served under the NYC, but was painted in their colors when placed in the museum. We have several images on Commons. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 04:44, 27 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
