Mitch,
In later years a class A was an 0-4-0 switcher.But I think the class A referenced in the article is something else.A date for this event would help.
Prior to 1895[I think],a class A was a 4-4-0.Westinghouse air brakes and water scoops were first used on these locos.

In honor of Labor Day, I've put on my favorite Irish CD, opened a pint of Guinness, and salute all my Irish-American Brothers who helped build this country.
" The Call Of The Celts"
On the shortest day of the year, at the peak of winter solstice, sunlight pours through a carefully hewn opening in the domed tomb of tribal kings, bathing it in a blinding brightness for seventeen minutes. Then, for the rest of the year no light enters the burial chamber.
sometimes called the "Cathedral of the Megalithil," the site is Newgrange, a great passage-grave nestled within the valley of River Boyne, in present day County Meath, Ireland. It is nearly a thousand years older then Stonehenge, predates the birth of Christ by about three thousand years, and was finished hundreds of years before the first pyramid ever shot skyward.

Running that red block Charlie.
Jon, Celts also built sweat lodges and ate certain mushrooms to understand nature with special intensity. Their culture mirrored Native American in many ways. They invented beer, of course. Actually, I believe it was the Egyptians who did. Batteries and beer. Some say man changed from a nomad to settler because he needed to wait for the beer to brew, though women were probably the brewsters.
That place you mentioned has always interested me. It's small but amazing. It didn't need to be a damn cathedral.

As far as the invention of beer goes, yes it was the Egyptians who invented it. But the intriguing thing about the Mayflower coming to AMERICA was that they were suppose to land in about Virginia and as the story goes they landed in MASSechuttes on PLYMOUTH ROCK because they had ran out of BEER. I guesss they had to make some? Probably had a guy named SAM ADAMS on board? Now I need another OL MIL.
