Serial Number 3587116 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: Curator: The No.120 is listed as RR grade. The 125
has exactly the same specs. Should it be listed as
RR grade too, or limited approval? Thx

Curator Response: Thanks for brining this to my attention. The No. 120 should not be classified as "Railroad Grade" even though there were a few railroads that would have accepted it at the time of production. On the majority of railroads the three-positional adjustment and pendant setting would have disqualified it from service.
