Other than the N&W on the east coast and the S.P. on the west coast - both of which had quite a few of them - did any other railroads operate 4-8-0's? Only one of S.P.'s survives - somewhere near Bakersfield. How many of N&W's still exist (including the two in the scrap yard)?
Anybody with BIG $$$ want to rescue the two, and re-build the Abingdon branch?
