It's not the snow that's the problem, it's the extreme cold, can't wait till next winter to see if they actually got that working right, no wonder the F40s lasted as long as they did on 7 and 8 because they could handle those extreme temps working the Builder!

Considering that they haven't even delivered a dozen units yet, it might be awhile. Date: 05/08/22 15:17 Re: Charging Through The Snow Author: gbmott ProAmtrak Wrote:

And then we see those nicely-maintained CSX F40s on their Derby Train and wonder why Amtrak . . . Oh never mind. Gordon Date: 05/08/22 15:20 Re: Charging Through The Snow Author: texchief1 Nice shot!
