BNSFrailfan. sorry sad truth, you don't lash 2 deisels onto an excursion train and call it historic. sorry those cars require a Good Steamer pulling them through some rail spot they've never been before, before i call it historic.

Thus it would be 3000hp. I read that a while back. These are historical to me because they were before my time. This is one model of loco I wish I could have seen more of in revenue service. Though I did get to see one up close and personal at the feather river museum. I sat in the cab with a non-railfan friend for over an hour talfing about trains. He never had any interest in trains before that. But once I got him into the cab of that monster, that changed.

QUOTE: Originally posted by chad thomas I think there is also one at the fairgrounds in Pomona,Ca. And I know there's one in Ogden,Ut.
