Serial Number 2939716 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: Railroad Grade - Yes

Curator Response: Thanks for the report. Grade 69 is debated as to whether it was railroad grade or not. Considering Illinois never advertised it for railroad use and that it is not described as being adjusted to positions, it would not meet the qualifications for "Railroad Grade" designation. There is supporting evidence that it was not even adjusted during this time period.
