Pass/Fail:

Smithsonian

In the article titled 'Of GG1's, NJ Transit, Boeing 707's, and the media', author Don Wood said she was slated for the Smithsonian (Ultimately, of course, the 4876 ultimately never made it theren). This appeared on page 66 in the August 1984 issue of Trains Magazine, published by Kalmbach Publishing. Not sure how the whole Wikipedia reference thing works with the appropriate codes and such, so hopefully someone will toss in the appropriate reference for me since it's an interesting facet of her history that she nearly made it to the most important museum in this country (As did an example of the Alco PA, which also didn't quite make it there). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.79.6.240 (talk) 05:26, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

2011 GA, with a drive-by pass for a review. Two citation needed tags for large portions of paragraphs lacking citations, and an additional paragraph also lacking sourcing. I've identified two more recent news articles that discuss the locomotive in detail which are not cited and should be considered [1] [2]. Overall, I think this article is salvageable, but it does need some work. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 03:18, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
