[quote user="De Luxe"] Just imagine a Timken roller bearing and booster equipped 610 storming at 80 mph with a 20 car excursion train through the Texas plains! This Texan would surely proove to all those Northerns in the excursion biz that it is equal to them (if not superior)! [/quote]   Except boosters can't be used at high speed like that. They were only designed for use under about 15 mph or so, to give the train a little extra boost to get it started, or keep it from stalling on a grade. Boosters aren't really needed in excursion service anyways, probably why it was removed in the 70's, since it would have been a bigger maintenance headache than a help.
