Locomitive locator web site?

Another web site that offers equipment tracing (locomotive and car) is Canadian Pacific Railroad. The web site is www.cpr.ca. Plus the www.uprr.com website mentioned before. Happy Hunting!

Thanks Pete, I am also a BNSF fan. I live within two miles of the BNSF (former CB&Q) triple track main line out of Chicago and frequently watch trains at the Eola yard with many other fans. The site you reccomend should do the trick. Many thanks.

I don't know what railroad you are into. I'm a big BNSF fan and this website link has loads of pictures & number info for BNSF locomotive roster. It's been a big help for me. It won't list the locations of these units, but most have a few useful picture links old & new.

Thanks Gregg for the information, and your point about security after 9/11 is a very valid one indeed. Thanks again. Jim

Each major railroad has a tracing facility through its main website, and the AAR has a continent-wide one. However, since the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, only legitimate shippers can inquire on individual railroad's websites. You must be furnished a password by each railroad's sales department. The AAR charges for its information, so you have to set up an account with them or be sponsored by a major railroad (who do sponsor their shippers).

I've heard that there are web sites where one can go to find the location of a specific piece of rolling stock and locomotives based on equipment or loco number, road name, etc. Can anybody help me with such a site? Many thanks, Jim, Aurora, IL
