I D This Loco
Posted by Anonymous on Friday, March 10, 2006 9:08 PM
I happened to spot this wire train pasing thru the Jenkintown train station today. However when it comes to locos I have to plead ignorance.



I hope it's not too far away.

I'm pretty sure that's a Caterpillar-engined 1000 hp locomotive built a number of years ago by Republic Locomotive for SEPTA.
