I have the front number plate from #1206 and it is one of my favorite 
plates!

Eddie Talbert told me that an A went north a time or two. Because they
didn't have cab signals, they needed to have the Superintendent's
authority to do so. Then of course the 1206 went north to the world's
fair in New York City. He also said that coming back south they had to
take it very slow around the curve heading unto the bridge at Natural
Bridge Station to make sure the overhanging boiler didn't hit the bridge
structure.
