RE: (erielack) Lackawanna Locomotive Classifications

Thanks Will,

So a Consolidation 735 would be an F-9a and number 364 would be an F-7a.
Clear as mud!)

Yes Paul it is. For any given locomotive the record page should also 
have the correct class listed for each locomotive number. They just used

a record "page" number which was greater than any locomotive class page 
so it sorts to the back of the type group.

I'm sure we have everyone thoroughly confused now. :)

Regards,

Will
