Memorial for Arch in today's Baltimore Sun.
"He retire as General Manager - Operations for Chessie System. The interresting part was that on his retirement B&O 4447, the last of the B&O GP40-2 locomotives was named "Arch McElvany". It was the only C&O locomotive to carry a name and the last B&O locomotive to be named. a history that goes back to the Tom Thumb."
