[CBQ] Zephyr 74 correction [1 Attachment]

On page 14 of Zephyr 74 relating to the steam inspection car, I incorrectly stated at the bottom of the first column that “there was no means of inspecting track other than on foot or by using a locomotive”. Since the Zephyr was printed, I have been advised that there were, at that time, man-powered vehicles used on some roads for track inspection. My apologies for this error.

There was a second photo of the car, published in Railroad Gazette in 1876, but space precluded it being printed in the Zephyr, so I have attached it.
