It was TopGEK's turn and in order for it to be your turn you have to answer a question first and get it right, but either way if TycoonK4 got TopGEK's Q right then it is his turn (because I believe he got both right).

What is its fuel (its not what you think )

How old it is.

[SD45T-2]

You hopped out of turn-wait.

Yes TycoonK4 is right and please ask what is going on or who turn it is before you post a pic so nobody gets angry or please read previous posts!!!!!!!

[hoborailcat]

Dibs!

What is it and who was the original owner?

 

[wilh]

Is it a GP-9 or GP-7 and its original owner is the Espee (SP, Southern Pacific).

 

[hoborailcat]

You got the owner but not the classification.

 

[wilh]

Is it a GP-9R?

 

[hoborailcat]

Nope, it is a type of GP9 though.

 

[simulatortrain]

SP GP9E?

Interesting it's still in a consist with 2 more SP geeps.

 

[hoborailcat]

Nope, still isn't right...:hehe:

 

[wilh]

Is it is a passenger GP which is called a GP-9p?

 

[hoborailcat]

That's it, you got it. wilh's turn.

 

[wilh]

Here is a tough one

What kind of loco are the three shown (the two on the right are different than the one on the left)
Who owns them
Who owned them
Who built them/rebuilt them
What is the previous loco classification that they were before (what was it originally)

 

[jadebullet]

Counting stacks, the two on the right are either SW7, 9 ,or 1200s that have been rebuilt with dynamic brakes. So they would be an SW#M.

As for the rest, I have no clue. I would need a closer shot. Looks like some sort of steel mill though. They could also be Ex Lehigh Valley.

 

[simulatortrain]

The left one is an ex-IGC SW14, and the right 2 are ex-UP SW10s. I believe the SW10s started as SW9s and the SW14s started as SW1200s. Unfortunately that's all I can tell you.
