Nostalgia & History > 3 FM switchers: NYC Lightning Stripe, Frisco, TRRADate: 12/05/18 11:10 3 FM switchers: NYC Lightning Stripe, Frisco, TRRA Author: valmont 1. NYC H20-44 #7108 7/64 Alan Miller Collection
2. SLSF H10-44 #270 Tulsa, OK 6/21/71 Kevin Cavanaugh 3. TRRA H10-44 #700 St. Louis area 12/63 Alan Miller Collection Date: 12/05/18 13:03 Re: 3 FM switchers: NYC Lightning Stripe, Frisco, TRRA Author: refarkas Three rare images. My favorite is the NYC H20-44.

Thanks for posting. Date: 12/05/18 14:54 Re: 3 FM switchers: NYC Lightning Stripe, Frisco, TRRA Author: 2720 King_Coal Wrote:

One at PSRM Campo in San Diego County, Demonstrator later UP 1366. One at IRM in Illinois, ex UP and one in Texas, ex AC&Y, painted in UP colors. I believe the MU equipment was added by the railroad, not a factory option. Mike Date: 12/05/18 23:16 Re: 3 FM switchers: NYC Lightning Stripe, Frisco, TRRA Author: Evan_Werkema 2720 Wrote:

The one in Campo is actually ex-UP 1369: https://www.psrm.org/trains/diesel/union-pacific-1369/ The former demonstrator/UP 1366 is the one at IRM: http://www5.irm.org/cgi-bin/rsearch.cgi?diesel=Union+Pacific+Railroad=1366 |
