[edit] Good article nomination

I have not promoted this yet, because I believe 'Trivia' sections are generally frowned upon. If the quoted facts are significant (and they do seem to be), they deserve a mention in the normal flow of the text. Also, I think it should say in the intro which country the locomotive was used in - it's not clear at first that the article is about a US locomotive. The intro could probably be slightly longer as well, to summarise more of the article's content. Worldtraveller 00:35, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. I've expanded the lead with significant bits from the history, integrated the Trivia items into the article text, and noted locations in the lead. Renommed. Slambo (Speak) 15:02, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
