Steam & Excursion > Another what if, but - What if?Date: 07/22/03 18:38 Another what if, but - What if? Author: mgoldman The entire railfan community, museums and maybe a subsidy - we all legally strip and equip a baggage car with everything needed to run it as a diesel helper!?! Like an E-8 B unit inside the shell of a stainless steel bagage car, or coach?
Granted the trucks may be funky, but it beats pumpkins and Amtrak following a Steamer! What if? Date: 07/22/03 19:34 Re: Another what if, but - What if? Author: cz10 It\'s been done. Back in the 70\'s, when the Clinchfield Railroad was running the "One-Spot", they had a "B" unit disguised as a baggage car. There was a rather ugly MU control hanging from the ceiling on the right of the cab. Looked something like the transformer from an old Lionel set. Nothing new under the sun!
