Hmmm...looks like a Fitz to me, but thats not a ship. Das Boot?

We better be careful here. 

You have to admire the visibility from the cab.

I wonder if the gang working on that Krauss-Maffei restoration have a nickname for that German "battleship."

You know, like Bismarck, Tirpitz, Scharnhorst, Gneisenau...

What about that 80 Ton GE?

I meant behind the Krauss-Maffei.  (9010 has been running as a 'cab car' pushed by other locomotive(s) for some time.  She is now not only moving under her own power but developing considerable tractive effort of her own...)

I posted this in Locomotives, but it probably deserves a mention here.

No diesel-electrics are running in this shot.
