Some relatives of ours just returned from the east with some pictures of the above engine. The pictures lack much detail and do not show complete views. Is there a website that includes the history and pictures of this locomotive. Also, there was a picture of an 0-4-0 with the name, JUPITER. I would be grateful for any help you could give me. Living in Portland, Oregon, I recently have become interested in Rails of the east including Norfolk/ Western, the Virginian, and Southern. Thanx.

The engine is in the Smithsonian National Transportation Museum. They may be able to provide you with pictures. I've been unable to find a website with good pictures.

Terry, There is a good head on picture of the 1401 on webshots.com that can be downloaded for wallpaper or a screensaver.

Have you learned anything new about #1401? I know someone that has a print of this train. Contact me via e-mail if you are interested.

1401 was one of the locomotives that pulled the funeral train for Franklin Delano Rosevelt.
