  • Comment - Description on file page is somewhat sketchy... do we know it's in the Persian corridor? Low EV because of that. --Janke | Talk 14:35, 9 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Janke, file description comes from the library of congress, source at this link. Bammesk (talk) 16:37, 9 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • I read it before commenting. I still think "Somewhere in Iran. An American engine transporting allied aid for Russia, stopping at a station rimmed by mountains " is too sketchy. --Janke | Talk 19:16, 9 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
      • As I know a bit that region, this is in Northern Iran, so the description "Persian Corridor" is adequate. Anyway, the Persian Corridor means all the railroad from the Persian Gulf to the Soviet Union border. Yann (talk) 20:10, 11 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment – Suggest change engine to locomotive throughout. "Engine" can mean all sorts of things, but "locomotive" = railroad.
