------------------------------------------------------- > the depot is selling tix to look it after at 3 > this pm I'm not even sure what this means. An educated guess is that some website, or a depot somewhere, is selling tickets to look at 4014 after 3 pm today. Not even sure why one would need a ticket to look at something. Is it behind a curtain?

Of course I'm 1500 miles away.

arranged so.......... Updated: TRAINS Newsline has a description, they're using the city trolley for transport, isn't a shop tour but rather a close-up look at the beast. Out Edited 1 time(s).

> What is the load? One or two diesel in dynamic > brake? A friend of mine who saw it said it's 4014, 2 water bottles, the tool car, and a single SD40-2. I'm at the state line headed north, so will know more shortly. ~wko Posted from Android Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 09/20/19 14:05 by wko.

The diesel has been in dynamics the entire time we've been within earshot, they've been reading out their throttle position constantly. ~wko Posted from Android Date: 09/20/19 15:53 Re: 4014 test run today Author: portlander WAF Wrote:

So did 8444 No they put the diesel in dynamic to provide some resistance on the shake down run. It’s been done that way going back to Steve Lee and the gang Posted from iPhone |
