The 1975-1976 American Freedom Train. More specifically, the first of three steam locomotives that pulled the train during the two years that it crisscrossed the lower 48 states during the American Bicentennial Celebration of 1976. This locomotive being the former Reading Company 4-8-4 #2101.
I would like see Michael J. Ward, CEO at CSX Transportation, get involved with a restoration project to safe this Freedom Train.

Mr. Ward is retiring from CSXT on May 31, 2017. You should ask Mr. Harrison this request if he gets to be the CEO of CSXT.

Confusing statement, "....with a restoration project to safe this Freedom Train."

First, what is unsafe about it? Second, it is NOT the "Freedom Train", but one of the three steam locomotives that PULLED the American Freedom Train.

Lastly, in my opinion, I seriously doubt that ANYBODY at CSX really gives a crap about that locomotive, as they have far bigger concerns!
