I think that you'll all like this one. You talk about a Locomotive having a real bad day. You have got to see this one.

There is a period missing between railpictures and net. Cut and paste the entire line into your address line and add that period and you'll get the link. BNSF Railfan can fix it in his original post.

In the meantime: http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=95351

I've seen steam engine photos, working hard, that were throwing less smoke...

shows what happens when you blow a turbo also more fuel than air in the engine makes me homesick and missing the steam engines doing the same thing.
Always at war with those that think OTR trucking is EASY.

What do you expect. It's a toaster. Bill Gates builds on "NT Technology", GE builds on "ALCO Technology".

When Baldwin's turbos failed, even at idle, they put out a black cloud. They had "turbo boost" even at idle!

I didn't know that the UP put the Big Boys back into service[(-D]
But seriously, when are these going to be taken out of service[?][?][?]

If it wouldn't cause problems for UP, it would be fun to post this picture to an environmentalist website and watch the treehuggers have hissy fits!

Especially if one fibbed some and said, "like they usually do..." You can be somebody who hasn't seen a train in years would embrace it as fact....
