[edit] GA nomination comments

Before this article can be listed as a good article, I think the following things should be corrected:

Lead section needs a bit of work - the first sentence is not clear at all to a layman. The last sentence cries out for a source. Overall it should summarise a bit more of the article's content, and should also cater for our international readership by stating which country the locomotive is in.
POV phrases such as 'They work hard to keep it running' need to be removed
Section headings should be capitalised like sentences - see WP:MOS. Worldtraveller 12:52, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the comments, I've addressed them as follows:

Expanded the lead to include significant bits of the locomotive's history, and to (hopefully) clarify the first sentence; removed the "most photographed" line since it was unreferenced.
Performed a copyedit to remove POV comments and clarify a couple points.
"Oaks Park" and "American Freedom Train" are proper nouns and should be typed in this manner. I've updated the other section headings.
