Hello all ;

Here's a little video showing a train with cars that might look familiar to all americans. Ideed. These cars are former C&O, but never used by the company. I believe they were part of a big order, for big plans that never materialize, with this small part of the fleet going to Argentina, to do the most prestigious service of the country, the Marplataense between Buenos Aires and Mar del Plata . This little streamliner is still in service today, circulating twice a week, with a nonstop service between the two cities referred before, and moving at a leisurely pace, since it takes almos 6 hours to cover the 250 miles of thhe route, in a line where track condition is not the best.
Adding even a little more spice to the consist, the engine is a former portuguese railroad road switcher, built by English Electric in 1967, with a top speed of 66 mph. No need for more though. In the video a GT26 EMD export model can also be seen.
Nice! Thank you for sharing it. - a.s.
