Hmmmmm…Mt Shasta is outside my limited US geography. Is it, say, east of San Francisco???

Kozzie,

Mt. Shasta is north of San Francisco, about four or five hours drive up Interstate 5. It’s a beautiful snow-covered volcano near the state border with Oregon.

Thanks Mike

You had me guessing until I realised that I had asked about Mt Shasta earlier. Sounds like a very scenic area of California.

I have ordered some motoring maps from a local map shop of the U.S. East and West. The brand I chose shows not only the highways and roads, but also has the railway lines.
Also includes town down to populatins of 10,000 so it will be a real help in following along with the comments from you “up over” Forum Folk when you mention towns and routes etc.

Cheers

I think it is an E8 used on the Spirit of Washington dinner train in Washington State, formerly MARC 81 or 83, Can’t remember. Originally BN. MARC still uses an F9, also former BN. and don’t forget the UP E8s, authough they are technically Geeps disguised as Es.

I looked on the site and I only see thier F9 if they inherited an E9 I want pictures as I lived along the BN in La Grange and used to see those all the time. I will be calling them this after noon to see if I can get an equipment roster

Don’t forget the 3 Conrail Executive E8s that pulled the Conrail OCS Special. They were sold by NS and one guy (forget his name) bought 2 and restored them to Pennsy Es. They recently pulled a troop train on the NEC, according to Trains Mag.

shame that so many E units still remain, but not one PA-1 remains operable

Bennet Levin is the guy. He’s got all three ex-CR Es. The 4020 and 4021 he restored to their original PRR appearance and numbers. The third one, 4022, is ex-Erie/EL 833. He hasn’t decided what to do with that one yet.

FWIW, his son Eric is the shop manager at Pavonia (Camden) for Conrail.
