@mark s posted:Chris: the original Aeolus was rebuilt/streamlined Hudson #3002, done in 1937. The Crusader was created in 1937. Wonder if one was influenced by the other? But which one ? !!
Note: there were two Aeolus locomotives, #'s 4000 (1937) and 4001 (1938).
And one of these 2 locomotives sits in a city park in La Crosse, WI with the streamline shrouding removed. I believe it would be the former 4000 locomotive.
