That's what I figured, Rusty. I didn't have one to measure, so I was wondering which length was correct. I wasn't planning on a Berkshire, but these Legacy versions are very appealing. My brother and I always jumped on our bikes to race to the road crossing whenever we heard the Nickle Plate locomotives whistle in the distance. It was a thrill to stand near the crossing gates and feel the ground shake as they pounded and thundered by, leaving a gray cloud of sweet/acrid smoke descending on us. It was the most memorable thing that happened on any such lucky day.
