I bet that engine number will be obliterated with road dirt at some point. We need Siemens management over at CAF. They know how to pump out a product! Date: 10/26/16 22:28 Re: New Illinois Department of Transportation 4608 at Denver Author: NGotwalt NH2006 Wrote:

I presume ventilation, but not typical. Will light snow be a problem?
Posted from iPhone Date: 10/27/16 12:01 Re: New Illinois Department of Transportation 4608 at Denver Author: DivergingClear When I took the eastbound Zephyr out of Denver last June, there was a pair of Chargers at Union Station, but we didn't pick them up. An employee commented to me that he wished we HAD picked them up, implying that it would mean having a reliable locomotive somewhere on the train for once...

I prefer solid striping and paint schemes, not these fading effects. |
