Passenger Trains > A creepin we went

Spent Saturday the 15th on the Heber Valley Railroad. A nice ride on a beautiful spring day rumbling along behind their MRS1 1813.

Very interesting unit! What exactly is it? lol Looks like a Frankenstein of locomotive parts!

Not to burst some one's bubble, but how is this related to Amtrak or other normal passenger train operations or commuter train operations?

A passenger train is a passenger train wether you classify it as "normal" or not.
B'sides it beats reports on amtrak trying to drive away business.


TCS - when do the automats come in?

There's a thought: Has anyone preserved an automat?

Crashela
Its a passenger train if you don't have to be an employee (or museum member) to legally ride it.

Well I'll tell you what, when there is a tourist operation discussion board put here, then stuff like this can be posted there and it won't interfere with the normal AMBASHING that goes on here.

What IS that thing??????????? Looks like a cross between an AS616 and an MRS1.

I was half awake. I'm sure you've had one of those days.

Nah, half asleep but never half awake.


TCS - edit function junction

Back in the 40's, I believe, US Army had some loco built by ALCo and EMD, hence Military Road Switcher. EMD had peaked roofs like this one, ALCo's looked more like a RS-1 with a lowered cab.
