When I Grow up, I want to be a UP Centennial
Author: YukonYeti

Just add a few more axles, a comfort cab and a second powerplant and you will have it..

Rail Combi 22610 Trondheim, Norway January 31, 2018
UP 6933 Cheyenne January 6, 1982..


We've come a long way in 45+ Years...

Back to the cave to ponder the state of affairs..

Yes but the 22610 has had zero traction motor failures in it's lifetime.

I'm sure that Lil Critter is a much more fuel efficient locomotive
than a Centennial!! Less labor intensive too!

Aren't all the 6900s save for one stuffed and mounted? Is that what you are shooting for?

Yes but did the 22610 put on 22,000 miles a month running as fast as 70mph sustained speed?
