VMT & 1604

[NW Mailing List]

Not meaning to be picky, but "unit" is a term for diesels, steam  
locomotives are steam locomotives, or steam engines (although not  
technically correct).

There are two of the H-8 surviving, 1601 at Henry Ford Museum, with  
the C&O for Progress logo painted on the front, that no H-8s ever  
carried them in service and the 1604 that was on display at VMT in  
Roanoke until it was moved in early 1986 to Baltimore.

This is a pretty good summation of the story.
