Collim1 Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 I rode in the cab with my dad on a passenger run this weekend. His retirement job is engineering an afternoon run for a local railroad museum. This was a diesel, but I reallly want to accompany him on a steam run someday. Not many guys still know how to run those old steam locomotives. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The local museum has a little passenger excursion and an Engineer for an hour program. I’m going to go run. I volunteered for them a few years ago. Might start that up again, if they can put me on a path to certification. Edited October 22, 2018 by G19Tony 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NW1 I’ve seen those, Ive got some pics from a cab that was on its way to a museum somewhere, when I get home, I’ll look for them. lots of visibility, 24 brake equipment. For switching and yard work they were pretty cool. 12 or 15 hundred horsepower . Edited October 22, 2018 by Dric902 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A young female ran a stop sign and slammed into the truck we were in. Lights and siren running. Also we were on her right. Made us a little late getting to the fire.

Distributed power, it runs in conjunction with the lead engine we use it sometimes, but mostly not needed Makes for a smooth run though .
