Hi Group. Couple of things. I received a mid 60's issue of the old
Railroad Magazine - before they merged with Railfan - and it had a
picture of a foreign steam engine taken by Don Heimberger. Somewhere in
Tolono, I believe it said, wherever that is. I also got a new issue of
Extra 2200 South, the magazine that updates info on engines. As I was
reading about the various railroads, I noticed something. There are a
lot of SD-40's, GP 38's, GP 35's, and Alco's still out there and running
around. Mostly on shortlines, but even power short Class 1's are running
them. There is a shortline somewhere that is making an all GP 35 roster.
They are even converting Amtrak F40's to GP 38's. They didn't explain
how, but had pictures of the before and after. For those who want to
know what engines can run with what, I suggest you pick up a few issues
of Extra 2200 South. Barry.
