I feel this quote about the "Texas" and her new look is noteworthy
Gordon Jones of the Atlanta History Center noted of the "Texas" at its debut after restoration that “We’ve already got one locomotive telling the story of the Great Locomotive Chased. We can utilize the Texas to tell a different story.” (
http://trn.trains.com/news/news-wire/2017/04/28-texas) The "different story" being railroads and Atlanta. I feel this quote about the "Texas" is worth incorporating into the article. Does anyone have any opinion, yea or nay? Thanks.

I went and made this addition to the article:
'The engine's new look caused a controversy, with critics saying the Texas's new look erased its Civil War history. Commenting on the engine's new appearance, Gordon Jones, of the Atlanta History museum, noted that the Texas was in service for fifty years, the Great Locomotive Chase occupying but a few hours of its service life, and said "We’ve already got one locomotive [the General] telling the story of the Great Locomotive Chase. We can utilize the Texas to tell a different story.”' How's that?
