NW-Mailing-List Digest, Vol 49, Issue 17 -- 2300 Boiler

[NW Mailing List]

My name is Neill Herring, and I so signed the message in which I made the 
mistake about the Chessie locomotives have a water tube boiler, but my name 
was not reproduced at the bottom of that message.  I regret the error, and 
the fact that I appeared to be annonymous.

I obtained the B&W book, Steam, # 37, after reading a reference to it in the 
excellent Rails Remembered, V. IV, by Mr. Newton.

The photo answers the original query as to the shape of the boiler:  it was 
rectangular.   I enjoy reading these messages very much, particularly the 
accounts of the meetings of the Virginian retirees.
