Yes, and she operated for a couple of seasons too. The late Blackie
Moser told me that she was so perfectly square that he once tried
running her just one notch off of center and got away with it...she
neither loped nor beat pins at that short cutoff. He'd been around
a lot of steam in his life and she was one of his favorites. Don't
know her exact whereabouts now, but should still be in Washington.
