and

The
data
diagrams
are
CADD
drawn
creations
of
what
the
original
railway
sheets
may
have
looked
like
based
on
a
few
sheets
we
located.
The
data
portion
was
developed
based
on
LPD
file
data
for
that locomotive type.
In
addition
to
photos
from
the
LPD
and
Don
Lewis'
collections,
many
additional
photos
are
from
the
Don
McQueen
collection
and
George
Carpenter
