I do believe it was on TLC monster machines. It was the new GE evolution AC4400CW. No this is not a superlocomotive, just the standart locomotive of the future when the regulations come down on RRs for more emission control and less pollution. It is the same as an AC4400CW of today, except with a smaller engine that makes less emissions and better fuel efficiency. If I remember correctly just 6 of these can pull an aircraft carrier (or was it 8 ? ? ? ? ). I was going to purchase that program online, but the prices they charge for them is out of control. It's like why pay 20-30$ when I can tape it next time it's on for 1$. <br /> <br />Sil
