Hey, what about a totally goofy thing like a modern comfort cab being spliced onto an RS-1 body? Maybe justified as an industrial switcher, bought secondhand and repowered by its owner, given a comfort cab because of union labor rules and because the distance from mine to processing center is something ridiculous, like a 12-hour trip through abject wilderness. What if gold was discovered in the Alaskan interior in sufficient quantity to justify such a run, with the smelter being near the coast? <br /> <br />And, what if, what if, world economic conditions had collapsed to the point that gold was a much more valuable commodity, the only reliable currency, and thus this forlorn little mine run was a real security risk? Imagine this little locomotive being equipped with a machine gun turret! And of course an armed caboose would be necessary.
