Yes, by today's standards they were homely/bueatiful..... But there is the movie, the original "Silver Streak" with Author Lake. The Zephyr is...
I was first at Olwein in the early 90's. It was a great thing to see the Transco repaints of the CNW units; i.e. the SD-40-2s. I went there...
Just a question; I saw the TRAINS article on the CP leaving it's Indiana lines; It shows some SOO SD-60s that were bought by the line's new...
Are the UP251- and UP9330 formerly owned by a predecessor rr? Were they involved in a crash or just being retired?
This probaly doesn't mean anything; but I saw a green UP MOW flatcar coupled to an ex CNW crane. The flatcar was an ex MP car. Maybe it's the...
Oh, I thought you were talking about the NS unit. UP photos I have; NS here are rare and I always try to get a photo on the NS units [img]
I always liked the electric nose bell, too. I don't know of any class one that used them as much as the CNW did. :D The sad part is that the...
It's amazing to me how 'up to date' the CB&Q's color scheme looks even tho the Q has been gone for (OMG) 34 years. I finally accepted the BN...
Very nice photos :D Just remember, there is no such thing as a bad train photo [img]
Buzz, The Pioneer Zephyr was up here in Milwaukee being restored a couple of years ago. (It was at Northern Railcar.) I talked to the manager...
I feel for the train crew. You can say anything about the inteligence (lack there of) of the victim, and about the crash being her fault. But...
Gotta admit; the black really holds up!!! :rolleyes:
The Wisconsin Central also had one; I believe it was put into service about a year before the CN aquired the WC.
Gotta toss my $.02 in. WOW!! [img] It does look great. The CNW, IMHO, would have done it exactly like that. I think that is the best...
Thanks for the info; a check is going out today!!! :D
Is there a book out that lists where and what a fallen flag loco is up to these days? (i.e. new owner and new road #?) :confused: Don...
One of the things that I noticed over the scanner when the train went thru Milwaukee was the pride of the employees when they were talking about...
Boy, I think that looks good; I really like the shot with the UP wings and flags. Haven't seen many of them up here in cheesehead land.
I think I read somewhere that the average train crew will be invovled in at least one fatal crash during their career. It'd be interesting to see...
