All of the C&O Turbines were scrapped, with very short preservation lives. They were part of the ill-fated, stillbord "The Chessie" daylight train between Washington, D.C. and Cincinnati. Of course, several of the cars are still around, as well as 4-6-4, number 490, which wwas rebuilt from a F-19 4-6-2, and streamlined to match the train for the Louisville and Newport News connecting sections. Check www.steamlocomotive.com for a good list of surviving steam locomotives. david.wilkins@bardstown.com

It is discussed in Staufer's book C&O Power. Which is out of print, but still possible to find. tcox@parknet.pmh.org

Have learned that all three were really scrapped. Rumor about one still alive and well in B&O Museum are false, per B&O Museum's staff. Still seeking some photos, etc. to illustrate the article. A line drawing would be outstanding. Nobody has claimed to have ever seen one. hankmorris@earthlink.net
