The real Freedom Train was 2101. It sits rusting away OUTSIDE at the Baltimore museum. That is almost as sad as GG-1 #4800 rusting away OUTSIDE at the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania.
I have the MTH Freedom Train in the GS-4 with extra tender and the Reading 2101 AFT. I ordered both the Lionel AFT locomotives as I am a huge fan of whistle smoke. When I get them I will decide what set to keep. I chased the real AFT and spent many days with it in Boston. It came through my back yard inbound and out to Boston.
I was very happy that Doyle returned 4449 to AFT colors after 911. I am also thankful that Lionel is going to run the cars.
