Awesome. Did you also see clouds and trees and telephone poles on your trip? I hear alot of people like those too.

What's a cloud Nick, I've never seen one of those before

The hell is THAT? Some kind of clearance thing-a-ma-jig?

Is it hellraiser's pickup truck? Also, the MK5000 is a pretty rare thing, but I knew what it was. What is that in the second Amtrak pic?

The second pic shows one of two F69PHAC locomotives built. They were built using the frame of a F40PHM-2, but were equipped with AC traction. Both F69PHAC's have been scrapped.
More info about the F69PHAC: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F69PH

Wait don't tell me you've seen trees before! Out here in Western Washington we don't see those much!

I meant the next one down

The locomotive is a GE P30CH, nicknamed 'Pooches', and is based on the U30C.

Looks like a porcupine on wheels... or something from a Mad Max movie.

I forget what they're called, but they use them to remove ice in tunnels during the winter.

I just know NorfolkSouthern37 likes Norfolk Southern stuff. (or at least I think he does)
So I thought I would take a picture of that engine and post the picture here. (only it was too dark to take the picture)

Ok what???? Can you please try to post construive things instead of rambling about I don't even know what. If you take some time and cut down on the use of (), I think lots of people would become less mad at ya.

Ok, this is the last thing I say on this thread.

Not too long ago, I was on an Amtrak train. It was stopped for some reason. (someone said they had to stop for switch engines)

It was dark out, but when I looked out the window, I saw, idleing on a track not too far away, A NORFOLK SOUTHERN ENGINE! I tried to get a picture, but it was too dark. If it had been light out, and the picture had been good, and I knew how to post pictures here without posting them to some sort of photo-website, I wold have posted it here. If I see another one, (and get a good picture of it, and figure out how to post pictures to the forums) I'll try to post it here. (I know that some of you Jointed Rail guys like Norfolk Southern stuff)

It was probably some regular old locomotive that everyone's seen at least once, and chances are JR has already made it(If it's a really common locomotive)...

So why waste the two extra posts? At least have a suggestion...

How about an AC6000CW in Southern Pacific paint? The SP had three of these behemoths on order, to be numbered 600 - 602.

I second the idea.

l'll third it! I love the SP! Maybe a fictional SP P42, while they're at it?

Paint the Grey walls with bloody red on every locomotive jointed rail has proto or fake. From the GP7 to the AC6000'S (makes a evil laugh) and black widow scheme would be nice.
