Current incarnation of W.R.Coe

[NW Mailing List]

For those who missed my article on the Virginian's W. R. Coe tugboat and its later reincarnations as the N&W's R. B. Claytor and the Boston Towing and Transportation Company's Karen Tibbetts and, later, Ethel Tibbetts, the article can be found under the title, "Floating Locomotives, Part 1," in the Nov/Dec 2005 issue of The Arrow, Vol. 21, No. 6.

The article included a picture of the newly launched Coe undergoing sea trials in New York Harbor, profile and plan drawings of the Coe, a picture of her engine, and pictures of her in the service of the N&W and the Boston company.

  She looks good; somebody's taken good care of her.
