Item in Flimsies (link below) apparently promotes the FP7 to this status. Or else the PR department didn't properly brief the media.

Maybe they replaced the 567 with a Sentinel?

That's real swell headline writing ... scan the article read streamliner and old train, translate into Steam Engine ... of course it could be a misprint and the loco is a streamengine running on stream water (bottled of course). A real maggot-gagger is to associate EMD with any sort of steam locomotive!

Maybe they kept the steam gennie and put a big turbine where the 567 was.

Last I looked, RDG FP7 900 was in Leesport, PA.
You sure the date on this news item isn"t April 1?
