Hard to believe I'm at 7777 today as well... From http://www.rocky-rail.com/ While searching for a #7777 to post I also found this one I wonder how many Coal Cars this could pull on the Moffat Route?
Hemi, Darren, anyone have any Challengers down low in the 3900's? I'm coming up on that, and the lowest one I have a photo of is 3950.
I'd go here.... http://photoswest.org:8080/cgi-bin/cw_cgi?getBasicTerms+16492 All I have is pics of the only operational one, any guesses which number that is? Good info on the number series here: http://www.steamlocomotive.com/challenger/up.shtml
The D&H Challengers are #1500-1539 so the best I can offer from my site is #4000 which is a ALCo Road Switcher RS-2
Nearly new BNSF 5645 toils behind a faded 70MAC on a loaded coal train on the Joint Line south of Castle Rock, CO:
I dont think any locomotive anywhere can compete with the look and the lines of an SD70MAC. Just says "workhorse" to me.
Thanks! I tend to like the SD40-2, especially since they are rare on mainline class 1 freights... Other than that, my favorite engine would have to be a GP30.
