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

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.
