Funny story in that while Frisco #4500 was the first in the number block for the 4500-series Northerns, it was actually among the last delivered. The first three #4500-#4502 were intended strictly for passenger service, and since WWII was on, there was a ban on any locomotives that weren't dual-purpose or freight. So #4503-#4524 were all delivered in '43, with the remaining three coming once the war was nearing it's end and production restrictions were lifted.
Originally introduced as the Cooper 3000, the Bauer 4500 is arguably the most popular hockey helmet of all time.

The difference in the danger between skimming one wheel and both wheels is something most people won't realize!
