Flying Scotsman Gets Face-Lifting For Trip
The Flying Scotsman receives a brass bell and whistle, a caw catcher, and a mixed propulsion plan for a Boston to Texas promotional tour. Donated items from Southern Railway headlined by W. Graham Claytor Jr. accompany British exporters and a blend of artifacts and exhibits. The voyage, starting in Boston on Oct. 12 via Hartford and New York, will test steam in tandem with an American electric locomotive in Manhattan.
