<br />Correct term would be 'online' <br /> <br />[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by Mookie</i> <br /><br />[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by AlcoRS11Nut</i> <br /><br />I know what you mean, however, instead of Dash 9's there is AC4400CW's, and instead of SD70M, there are SD9043AC's where I live. I would say it is the engines (personal guess), I can definately tell if the inbound coal train has a GE[:(!] or a EMD [:D] on the point. One time (in March) a coal train came into town severly over powered! Yes, over-powered, there were 2 AC4400CW's (UP and ex SP), and 3 SD70M's, and 1 SD60M!!!!!!! I took lots of pictures, because I hardly ever see UP useing DC traction motor equiped locomotives on coal trains. What buges me is that I can't not come up with a reason they would be on the train, other than it being a freak of nature. The city I live in is at the end of the sub-divsion and the are hardly and trackege to other side of town (basicly dead ends). The heavest train that traverses the subdivsion is the coal-train inbound to the power plant, and that normally takes 2 AC4400CW's, or 2 SD9043AC's, or a combo of both. No, idea of why six locomotives came into town, do you have any? <br />[/quote] Were they all "working" or were some just along for the ride? <br /> <br />Moo <br />[/quote]
