Why did you use a Mike? I thought Southern didn't use 2-8-2's for passenger service. Why not use a Ps4?

Keep in mind that the wreck occured in 1903. The real locomotive involved in the incident with train 97 was a high-stepping 1902 Baldwin ten wheeler, #1102. It seems that, over the years, "97" has been misconstrued to represent the locomotive number, rather than the number of the mail train.
