Cast Your Vote Here

I made it out to Titlow Park south of Tacoma a couple of times of late, for a little Cascades and Starlight action.

Here are two shots — which piece of equipment do you like better?

Does Mater do anything besides providing a cab and being ugly?

The first one looks like the back end of a DeSoto station wagon, so I'll have to go with the F40.  I think it may offer a little bit more protection.

Homer Simpson, the Simpson family, and supporting cast would vote for the unnumbered unit.

I'd prefer a REAL DeSoto station wagon!

Sad to say, that piece of ugliness was built in my hometown of Milwaukee. Reminds me of a duckbilled platypuss!
The equipment was built for service between Milwaukee and Chicago. Also possible service to our capitol Madison.
The last governor was anti- passenger train, cancelled everything! Talgo was not happy!

Had I built an expensive factory in which to build an expensive custom product with virtually no other market, and had the customer cancel the order and refuse to pay for it, I wouldn't be happy either.

That says it all. It's a style that the Simpson family would love.

Very good.

Ever notice that the Talgo looks like the head of a Brachiosaurus?
