Subject: A spare set up tires came along with the Southern 401 when it was loaded up in January 1966 in Margerum AL for movement to Decatur IL for unloading. Without a lift truck to pick them up, Guy Bald, superintendent of the Alabama Asphaltic Limestone Co. facility dragged them out of the shed they were stored in so they could be loaded on the flat with 401's tender. One tire is visible on the ground after extraction, with another one being ripped out through the side of the shed.

Subject: Two of the heroes of the Southern Railway 2-8-0 No. 401 are Kent McClure (left) and Dave Marshall. When I asked Dave how the engine ran when he opened the throttle for the first time, he said it was like a Swiss watch, meaning it glided along with track without a sound. No clanking rods like regular engines.

Subject: Last time I went to Monticello the pilot was a skeleton and mechanics were debating how to get both the crimped end and the right angle to make the boiler tubes flay out in the proper (and symetrical) direction. They obviously figured it out and the result looks perfect.
