<p>Here is a link for your pleasure, lots of info’s + nice shots:</p> <p><a href="http://www.columbusrailroads.com/prr%20santa%20fe.htm">http://www.columbusrailroads.com/prr%20santa%20fe.htm</a></p> <p>Some interesting passages:</p> <p>"<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,arial,helvetica;"> We expected to see a PRR J1 slogging up the hill at its normal 15-25 mph. Instead a Santa Fe class 5011 locomotive, which always seemed to be going 10 mph faster then a J1 powered train, was in the lead. "</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,arial,helvetica;">" According to Eric Hirsimaki, in his excellent article on the Santa Fe 5011's in Columbus, published in the Autumn 1999, <i>Keystone</i> magazine, the Santa Fe's made the Columbus - Sandusky trip on average 2 1/2 hours faster then a train headed with a J1. A typical train would contain 110 cars weighing 9,430 tons. "</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,arial,helvetica;"><br /></span></p>
