Name	Type	Comments	Date

Alan Fricker	General	Bingo-the 774 was used on some of the last steam powered fan trips on the CNJ-there's too many people around for it to be anything else.	6/9/2015 8:59:56 PM

Tom Beckett	General	Nice album. These engines were classics, and lasted long after others of their type were cut down. Good to see this one in action.	6/10/2015 11:50:19 AM

Robert Farkas	General	Historic in so many ways - Beautiful!	6/10/2015 6:32:16 PM
