[edit] Delisted GA

I'm delisting this article from GA status because:

• no inline citations, not a requirement for GA, but generally should be used with statistics
• no lead
• not thorough; the article only allows a brief description of the train w/o going into much detail
• redundant statements like: Many E9s survive today
• needs work; example:

for hauling inspection specials, charter passenger trains, investor tours, and the like- the like has to be changed to a more approriate term

Inline citations are now a requirement of GA status, so we'll need to work on that too now. Slambo (Speak) 21:18, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
