Hear Hear! The Little Engine (train) that Could! The start of a new era
in passenger railroading and a brilliant achievement in technology. 1015
miles in 785 minutes -- 77.6mph average for 13 hours straight.
I will display the commemorative matchbox cover all day in honor. Thanks

Best regards,
Randy
