Name	Type	Comments	Date

Stu Nicholson	General	I had forgotten about the ACE experiments. I wonder if they ever got any useful information out of it.	1/26/2015 12:54:04 PM

Mike Maskel	General	NICE SHOT	1/26/2015 4:43:39 PM

Daniel Hanna	General	Cool shot!!! Like the old steam loco in the foreground and the newer CO hoppers in the backround.	1/26/2015 6:14:04 PM

Robert Farkas	General	I had a chance to see it but decided I didn't want to become "Frostbite Farkas".	1/26/2015 11:12:32 PM

Aidan Murray	General	Never pulled the AFT or the Chessie Steam Special. That was RDG 4-8-4 2101, which Ross Rowland used from 1975 to 1979, when it was burnt in a roundhouse fire. 614 was traded to Rowland by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Museum later in 1979 for the 2101, which had been cosmetically restored to her AFT Colors of and renumbered as #1, which was the number it used to pulled the AFT. The 614 did pull the Chessie Safety Express though.	11/26/2019 6:16:18 PM

CO 4-8-4 #614T - American Coal Enterprise (ACE) Experiment
Built by Lima in june of 1948 (serial #9306), this locomotive led a dual life serving the C&O in the mountainous West Virgina area until retirement in 1955, reborn as an excursion loco for the American Freedom Train and the Chessie Steam Special. But again it was reborn as an experimental locomotive for the American Coal Enterprise in 1985 with the new designation 614T. Here it spins on the Hinton, WV, turntable as it worked the coal fields in 1985 as part of its testing. No photographer listed.
