VMT & 1604

[NW Mailing List]

The Museum really had no choice, as they did not own the 1604, it had  
been retained by Chessie System or C&O prior to that, who sort of  
looked the other way until it was damaged in the flood of 1985 and  
had to be rerailed and the Museum was moving from its Wasena Park  
location to downtown. There had apparently been a desire for a time  
to send the 1604 to Baltimore as an addition to the corporately  
sponsored museum. Why it was not done when the H-8 was first loaned  
to the Transportation Museum about 1970, I don't have a clue.
