Hello friends,

There’s an absolutely excellent article on the 80 by Thomas R. Lee in the Fall 2002 issue of “The Streamliner,” published by the UP H&TS. Lots of charts and photos, too. It’ll be well worth the effort in tracking down a copy.

The issue with <…> turbine #80 is Volume 16, Number 4. It’s available from the UPHS Company store at: http://www.uphs.org/strmavail.htm"
