A fact from Timken 1111 appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 21 October 2005. The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that with a dynamometer car in tow, the Northern Pacific Railroad was able to drive Timken 1111 on a demonstration run as fast as a sustained 142 km/h while pulling the North Coast Limited passenger train?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2005/October.

Connection to Timken Hall?[edit]

In researching for this article, I found references to Timken Lecture Hall located at 1111 Eighth Street, San Francisco, part of the California College of the Arts. The name and address seem a bit too coincidental, but I haven't found a connection yet. Was the hall name and address chosen to commemorate this locomotive or was it the other way around? slambo 19:19, 17 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
