International Railroad Discussion > FCP questionDate: 11/29/03 20:54 FCP question Author: espee99 Since the nationalization and sale of the Pacifico has any of the old ALCO and MLW power been retained even if in the yards or locals, also does anyone know the disposition of DH-17 and the FTs (from the Sonora Baja).
Thanks in advance for any information, I am planning a trip south and was wondering if there is any chance of seeing some unique power still operationing.

The other two are in Portland being rehabbed, one for eventual operation and ther other for the Smithsonian

The FTB is in Benjamin Hill, Son. but it will be restored to operting conditions and will be taken to the museum to to join it's mate, S-BC 2201.

Date: 12/05/03 19:56 Re: FCP question Author: espee99 I am planning to travel from mexicali down the old Pacifico to Tepic, and then to Leon and return. Most likely in early March. Now I am trying to justify fixing up the 4x4 instead of flying.
I would prefer to pace trains instead of white knuckles... Thanks for all the responses..... Espee 99 |
