It would be hilarious, especially when you are behind me with your lights and siren going and I put her in the big hole...lol...

Not like you could swerve out of the way...

Mookie: that item above the headlight is an older Elesco (from the initials for Locomotive Superheater Company) closed-type feedwater heater -- structured a bit like a little boiler.

Note to Bergie: the link file names to the images in miniwyo's post have somewhat dangerous names, particularly the locomotive image. Do we need to watch out when posting links what the names of those images are? Is there a procedure or rule to follow to check what's in the URL before posting (as, if I understand correctly, you see the name when you paste it between the img-/img tags)...

A class 47 locomotive in the UK was painted in "Police" colours and still carries this scheme today (see below). It was painted to make people aware of trespass on the Railway. The locomotive was used by Virgin Trains for passenger trains but is now the property (albeit for not much longer) Freightliner Heavy Haul who will be replacing these aging loco's with the EMD class 66's.

Also many years ago a class 37 was painted in Police colours for aTV advert to promote the then British Rail, the idea being you don't get trains caught for speeding. Cut to shot of locomotive chasing another with lights flashing.

A few days after a major derailment and fire due to excessive speed, a motorcycle cop tried to stop a train for speeding in Pittsburgh, Pa. He was not successful.

I found that on this past week's Photoshop Phriday on a site that I frequently visit, They had 13 pages(4 pics per page) of pictures that had been touched up on photoshop and this week's theme was "Great Moments in Railroading"

If you want the link I can give it to you via Email as some of the pictures are
inapropreate for the forum. If you want it Email me at [e-mail]

for "passengerfan"
Here in Canada , CN has it's own police force and they do use radar to check for speeding locos. At least they did a few years ago.

[Anonymous]

I love it!!

Waiting to see it on an episode of COPS[:D]

[espeefoamer]

If the speeding loco won't stop, do we get to watch the chase on the 6o'clock news[:D]?

[Modelcar]

...If he starts getting too close find a big chunk of wood from the tender and pitch it out onto his rails and go for a derail.....

[espeefoamer]

If the police had something like that around here, I might have gone into law enforcement[8D]!!!

[Anonymous]

Pretty neat and creative.

Well, a police locomotive would have to be fast to go after the speeders and also for high-speed chases and such. This engine appears to be an A3 locomotive. The Flying Scotsman (which is an A3) was the first locomotive to officially break the 100mph barrier, so they certainly picked a good type of engine to do this work!

On a police car, the people who get arrested go in the back seat, but in this case, they'd have to sit in the coal pile in the tender.

This would make a good episode of Cops!

[wcfan4ever]

Hmm...maybe they could use this in a Bad Boys sequel?

Too bad something like that could never happen...but it sure would be cool!

[railman]

I'm waiting for the sequel to "Smokey and the Bandit." on this one.

Back in the late 1960s, GTW had rotating beacons on top of some of its units. They eventually standardized on amber ones, but initially some were red. My youngest cousin had the predictable response when he saw one: "That's a police train."

Hey, I haven't a clue how I would go about writing a ticket on trains blocking crossings for more than fifteen minutes... and speeding trains are probably not part of my juristiction, anyway.

Gotta admit tho, I'd almost give up my Crown Vic for a take home locomotive like that one.... if only my wife wouldn't be so serious about insisting on a place to park her car....
