Oh, tsk, Eric! There were two Aeoluses (or Aeoli?) The first class S4A,
4000, was rebuilt from S4 No. 3002, but S4A No. 4001 was built new at West
Burlington. It was the only Q Hudson to use a Worthington feedwater heater
instead of the Elesco model, and the only Hudson with a vestibule cab. Both
were deshrouded in the early '40s.
