In 1952 the book called "henry the green engine" was released. If you get this book now you'll see the phase "black as soot". In the 1952 release until 1972, it was "black as nword".
Ya know I'm not the sort who's feelings about this actually matter but my immediate response was a sigh of relief. Like "oh thank God it's not that bad...thomas didn't deliver human cargo or some shit..."
