I LIKE trains that look like a space ship.
Aerodynamic drag is a major factor in fuel efficiency and horsepower requirements.
Passenger and freight roads should pay more attention to it.
Funny … I remember saying the same thing when they were cutting up our E-9s
Well everyone’s entitled to their view. I’ve had many a pleasurable trip on Amtrak, behind SDP40fs and F40phs. Amtrak may be a former shadow of the great passenger rail network this country once had, but Amtrak has proven it’s usefulness and value inpsite of opinions to the contrary. Ridership has been increasing and no one’s forcing those people on to those trains. Inspite of the bueracracy, Amtrak’s definetly doing something right![8D][tup]
I am currently working on convenience the Berkshire Scenic railroad to host the F40PH I have also chose to focus my attention on F40PH #271. My temporary web page for this project is http://ham549.googlepages.com/home I have also started a Face book group (called Save the F40PH) to try to do some networking.
