The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- William L. Withhuhn, the former Transportation History curator at the Smithsonian Institution, described the locomotive's historical and cultural significance: Sierra Railway No. 3 has appeared in more motion pictures, documentaries, and television productions than any other locomotive.
- It is undisputedly the image of the archetypal steam locomotive that propelled the USA from the 19th century into the 20th.
- Built in 1891, the locomotive returned to operation in July 2010 after a 14-year absence from service and a three-year-long overhaul, requiring the replacement of its original boiler.
