Sacramento, California
The ALBUM has just arrived with the reminder that more coal is
needed to keep up the steam-so am enclosing my renewal. I do not
know of any place I spend money that brings me so much pleasure for
$2.00. I have no criticisms or complaints, just want more of the
same.
I particularly enjoy the letters and experiences from the old
timers. Wish we could have a couple pages of letters.
I do not think the days of the steam engine are over, in fact I
doubt if the Diesel will be long-lived on the railroad. The D and
RG and B & O have both started preliminary experiments on
building atom powered locomotives. I am hoping I can live to see
them.
If I could have just one request it would be for a ‘question
and answer’ department. My first question would be, ‘how
many Case engines were built and what was the last number and the
year’? What other engine was second highest in numbers and what
was their last number?
