Union RR in PA,is a steel hauling railroad. Not odd to see four or five MP15DC working a slag train or slab train.

Wow! That what I call true loco power! I think there NW2's aren't they. I mean if you don't have any other locos heck I'd take a whole string of those beasts out anytime.

Interesting. I have tried the equivalent with steam but it was hard. It is a fanticy that works best in a small scale.
