This GE obviously wants to be an ALCo[8D]!

Yes that locomotive in that picture has some major problems, and I’m sure the EPA wouldn’t be a bit happy with that NS locomotive. No I should re phrase that statement that locomotive has lots of major problems. I’m sure glad I’m not the mechinest, fixing that rolling hazard! LOL.

Darned steam engine wanabees!

Last time I saw one that good was about 15 years ago out in AZ on the Sunset where a brand spanking new SP GE unit (one of 7 SP “helpers”, 2 of which actually worked by the time we rolled into LAUS–both ATK pooches were long dead) blew its turbo and died.

That’s not a diesel engine, it’s really a steam engine that some locomotive shop worker just hung diesel-like sheet metal on! If you get reallllllllllllllllllllllllllll close, you’ll hear the puffing of the cylinders and watch out for the steam!

Today is April 11? That’s as good as April 1, right? :wink:

12

I have NEVER seen a diesel belch that much smoke in all my life! Pretty heavy even for a steam engine. In fact, I have never seen a steam engine puff that much smoke in all my life. I was born in 1932.

13

if you notice…that unit is an NS unit…now back east…we dont have to follow the california emitions standers…so thats not realy a big deal…lol
