Perhaps a more potent example If only our F69PHAC’s got the same treatment 🥀
Split the prewar and postwar Century schemes between a Quill and Jet
We’d have more sensible track-cradled infrastructure so why the hell not 🙃
Another honorable mention goes to Northern Pacific 5000. Bit of a stretch but I think this debate could’ve influenced the name of another “largest locomotive” later on. Can’t think of another loco caught in a pronoun debate books.google.com/books?id=T-Q...
She’s no longer with us, but I have to bring up Christine again
Looks spotless next to WMATA’s cars I don’t like comparing transit systems often but I genuinely didn’t see the dirt on those trains at first. I hope the interiors are fine thought, as that’s a bit more important
idfw the propulsion or the interior design BUT I prefer this over the power packs used in the FLIRTS. About time MBTA ordered some Motors along with their Trailers, I just wish they set out better specs 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾🤦🏾♂️
That would definitely do it I remember first learning about them and thought they were a bit odd, but the “normal” AC’s were the ones that scared me a bit
Disregarding the tire and road wear the bus would just be inefficient due to extra weight for support that drivetrain, OR extremely unreliable Reminder there’s only one High Speed train with a non-electric transmission, and with damn good reason
Ima fight anyone that calls him a shop queen Eastern ran it almost constantly despite hiccups Central wanted to snag it for the Panhandle east of Columbus Western got it instead; was the only duplex VP Symes didn’t bitch about
Tried my own spin on this last year A year and a half isn’t too late right?
Or in India where they ordered a whole batch of 4-6-0 in case the new designs were lemons, both cases into the 50’s!
Who said they had to be new? There’s easily 1,000 locos with serviceable engine blocks and no apparent work. They could just move stored locos to the site, wouldn’t be the first time … This is a very unserious suggestion for an unserious piece of infrastructure
It’s been ten years, I think the Pennsylvania T1 qualifies as a special interest 😌 Now what I don’t recall is which of these two is responsible for
What do these two locos have in common? There’s more than one right answer
When you learn the first modified is actually the least modified
Everytime I see one of these I can’t help but remember when my boy got a parking ticket 😭
So obviously there’s some concerns about UP 4014 being able to fit under the wires around Philadelphia No worries, I heard there’s another big freight engine in to stand in for the last few miles
Nope but I found a distant sibling in Rio Grande 5481. Essentially F7 above the frame, right down to the electric fans, but retains the trucks, motors, and likely manual phase shift from its previous shape. Even had the rear coupler swapped for a drawbar when she got home
Nah nah, you gotta go to the North Shore & Labrador for that good shit
