I'm sorry. What did you see? I see TWO locomotives, one behind the other.
Other than that, only that some dimwit painted Pacifific on the one...
I see that crap all the time on even government appliances, whenever low- wage entitlement-minded people are doing the work.

No, proly Bibble-thumping midwesterners, talking in tongues, and stuttering. Affects their writing, too, apparently.....

They are probably not even low wage, this being a railroad.

Dats one long effing locomitive. Some are so long (6,000 hp) they can't navigate track whose bends are too tight, so are restricted in various parts of the country. I'll bet you get quite the chubby just thinking about scrapping dat muthafucka, eh?

Where is the rear of the foreground loco?
And notice where the engine room is?
Thats quite an interesting photo in more than one way.

Interesting. Collison? Very little damage. Or was it cut in half to remove the engines?

I guess Martin was right and the Frankensteiners built it from two differently painted engines.

I am also agreeing, this is most likely. It also seems to be longer than usual, which is something I do not really "get", it could not have a double engine or generator, so what is the point of making it longer?

Wanna see one completely rebuilt, the engine replaced by a trio of gensets, computer-controlled, etc? It's short of an hour, but an interesting vid. It makes the guys look like morons, though.

I watched the entire movie, very fascinating and close to my current interests.

I was really surprised when you bought a shortish building -without- a crane up top, y'know?

Yeah, they're great for so many things, plus they go outside and load/unload the trucks. But for really heavy railroadish things... ;)
