It's always interesting to hear what the operating crews thought/think of a particular locomotive. How it fired, how rough or smooth it ran, or was it reliable and it would pull.

Are there any records of what the crews who operated the 460 thought about this locomotive? The shop personnel who maintained it?

It certainly looked well maintained till it was sent to the scrap line.
