[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by Lord Atmo</i> <br /><br />a spartan cab is a cab design also referred to as "Standard cab". at least i think. maybe just the GE standard cabs are called that, but when i mentioned them, i was referring to the SD45s and SD60s. oh i love SD60s. UP still uses 'em. 'course they're never in Altoona. ever. then again, nothing comes through. i think it was right about the time the merger happened when rail traffic there declined. *** UP... <br /> <br />at any rate, we're not in the good ol days anymore. but i have taken what copcar said and gave it some thought. will UP ever bring them back? no way. is there anything i can do to bring them back? not for a very long time. should i join the historical society? ehhh i cant afford it yet. but i want to. <br /> <br />there's one hope left. museums. they can paint their locomotives any color they want. maybe some day, a railroad museum in Chicago will get an SD60 and paint it CNW colors. <br /> <br />but my point is my rants and whining will accomplish only pissing you guys off more. so well... i'll just remain patient that my museum theory will one day become true. <br /> <br />and hey, nothing against painting my car like a CNW locomotive[:p] <br /> <br />lastly, dont think you're getting off the hook, UP. i still hate you with every ounce of my strength... <br />[/quote] I'm cracking up! Seriously! You've really gone off the deep end! And the whole good 'ole days thing....Fine! That's your opinion! But to some of us, these are the good 'ole days! Do us all a favor and take a chill pill. Anybody who feels THIS strongly about a railroad has issues.....
