lionkingcmslAnd what would you expect from the railroading lion, a railroading meme of course. :=3
While the IC never owned a "Train Master", that loco could almost haul all those cars by itself. It was one of the first locomotives with 2400 HP and was introduced in 1953 by Fairbanks-Morse. :=3
I surely hope that that SPV has a couple of engines behind it for the freight. And the "Restricting" signal seems appropos for the SPV's nickname "Seldom Powered Vehicle". :=3
It is interesting to note though that it did give a "Mixed" train, as the SPV is a self propelled passenger car. ;=3
Hmmm. I wonder if the WP actually owned any Alco C-630's. A quick look in "The Second Diesel Spotter's Guide" is inconclusive. :=/
One for the Lion's Den Chief of Security, Altaica Powell.
Interesting answers here. While the P-RSL (Pennsyvania - Reading Seashore Lines), the railroad that was near me (now part of Conrail) and the one I'm most fond of (the CMSL runs on one of the P-RSL's branches), never owned a CR-4, that loco could haul 10 passenger cars and I can see the P-RSL using one of those switchers to move the passenger cars between terminals. :=3
--------
Some notes for all you railfans out there. I didn't try to list every type of loco or railroad in the US. The lists would've gotten too large, though I may add more later. The signal aspects listed are taken from the NORAC rule book, 8th edition, and are real signals that you may see on any given railroad in the northeast U.S. ;=3
