is this the longest locomotive ever? I've never seen anything like it.
There absolutley no information on this engine outside the side I've found this photo on. Does anyone know anything about it?
The model is DDDDP45

false alarm!!!

I just found out what this is, there is some guy playing with pictures and "inventing" locomotives with some paint work

This is a fake

[CopCarSS]

He's playing with a picture that isn't his, too. That shot is either Don Ball Jr's or Jim Boyd's out of America's Railroads, the Second Generation. I guess copyrights don't mean much anymore.

It's a rail straightener, or is it a rail crusher? Maybe both. And people thought the Big Boy was bad. I wonder how many prime movers it would have to have had. Maybe we should nickname it the Bad Boy.[swg]

Look at the mountain tops and the fence posts, and you can see where the stretching was done. Cute and clever though.

I wouldn't worry about the copyright for a couple of reasons.

First the original photo is probably old enough for the rights to have expired, yes it could have been renewed.

Second, while the original image wasn't the property of the person who created this, the modifications have created a new image. The only problem might come if the person who altered the original tried to copyright the new image.

I see it as a harmless and clever gag, meant to fool the unwitting.

Perhaps it's just a conversation piece, in which case it's working, because we are talking about it.

To use this oportunity, what is the longes non-photoshoped diesel locomotive made so far? Is it DD40X?

For a rigid frame, I'm pretty sure the DD40X was the king. I understand they didn't last long mainly due to the dual prime movers. If one broke down, the good one was stuck in the shop while it was being fixed. The D trucks didn't help either. UP figured out that 2 normal units like an SD or GP gave them better flexibility.

I took one look a that and said "This is as phony as a three dollar bill"

[Murphy Siding]

GE U-50: 83'-6 1/2'', Alco C-855: 86'+, and the winner is: EMD DDA40X: 98'-5".

See- I knew there was a reason I had all those books![;)]

[AlcoRS11Nut]

Ahhhhhhhhhh........Photoshop.... :)

[DrummingTrainfan]

If only that was real...

[tsgtbob]

Would the nickname of that DDDD be 2 Anna Nichole Smiths>[8D]

It would have been impractical, Imagine that thing in tighter curves, the middle section would almost hower over grass

[Anonymous]

Nice locomotive.


it would derail on it's first curve.

[nanaimo73]

The cowl carbody appears to be made from a F40PH.

[espeefoamer]

Since a UP locomotive was used in this faked photo,maybe this artist should worry about a lawsuit from the Borg[xx(]!I'd like to see this engine try to go around a curve[:o)].

Next time you take a picture, you really should have the sun behind you, just a suggestion. Nice shot, have you submitted to RailPictures.Net? I would think it's a winner [tup]

[Anonymous]

That's what point-and-shoot shootesrs always say because they don't control their exposure.

Many great photographs with great artistic effect can be made by putting sun in your shot.

Of course if you simply want an object to be seen clearly, then it is better to put sun behind.

I gotta learn photo shop.

[adrianspeeder]

You know it is 600 bucks? Worth it to me though.

What would the model designation be for this FAKE unit?

GWB40-2? (George W. Bush, 4,000,000 HP, -2 technology?)

[GP40-2]

Actually, they were very successful. Most DD40s racked up between 2 and 3 million miles of service before they were retired.
