• The lead seems a bit short. In particular, I would at least have wanted to know when the locomotive was built, and what year it was retired from service. That is was also used by LIRR and Pennsylvania–Reading Seashore Lines I would say is important enought to be mentioned in the lead.

• Need to state that the museum is in the United States.

• It is common to measure train weights in tonnes (at least for metric), but I guess that is beside the issue; conversion is no big deal. So don't worry.
  • The sources I used had it in pounds. ​​​​​​​​Niagara ​​^{Don't give up the ship} 23:10, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
• I would have made 'preservation' a top-level section, but that is entirely up to you.

A little more in the lead, and you've got yourself another GA. Nice to see someone putting in work not just on classes, but also on individual locomotives; it spices up Wikipedia quite a bit. Arsenikk ^(talk) 09:50, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for reviewing. Another user brought it up that the redlinks for individual locomotives in an NRHP list should be piped to its class. I made it a personal challenge to see if I can get an, at least, DYK worthy article out of most, if not all, of them. ​​​​​​​​Niagara ​​^{Don't give up the ship} 23:10, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

Congratulations with a good article. Arsenikk ^(talk) 19:58, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
