Easy, the GPs are dead in consist... 112 total axles, 17,600 HP (from the 4 GEs), 3097 tons (from the GPs). Mr. MRL Date: 11/10/12 22:34 Re: For the Santa Fe fans, here is the light power move Author: bnsf7512 Would this take the transcon all the way to Chicago and could u give a location for weres it's at.

Train's location at 23:41 MST was Cherokee, AZ [MP 473.7] (between Kingman & Flagstaff, AZ) on BNSF's Seligman Sub. Mr. MRL Date: 11/10/12 22:51 Re: For the Santa Fe fans, here is the light power move Author: qnyla All of these units are showing to be set out at Galesburg, so maybe a trip to Relco in Albia, IA is in their future?

My understanding that that many dead units hauled conventionally with headend power would be difficult to handle. Date: 11/10/12 23:18 Re: For the Santa Fe fans, here is the light power move Author: MrMRL ts1457 Wrote:

Why? They're essentially just a bunch of 125 ton box cars. Just trainline them, and run it like a freight train.

It's quite possible that CSX won't take a train like this, so the units will be 'set-out' in Galesburg and then trickle over to CSX over a number of manifest trains running between Galesburg and CSX.

CSX did handle nine of them in one train last year: http://www.trainorders.com/discussion/read.php?1,2556896 Date: 11/12/12 03:15 Re: For the Santa Fe fans, here is the light power move Author: atsf643 A great picture, but a sad picture, too...
