Locomotive Roster Information

A lot of the locomotives have been given names. Some are named after former mayors, etc., but most are named after cities, counties, and villages. I have been provided  with a list of the names for the locomotives. To view the list, click here.

I found this information on the Internet somewhere and decided it would be nice to have on my site. I've revised it to look like a chart.
