Sorry, but as DRRT said, that pic of the steamer is not in play, it is the diesel two posts above it that is.

 

[TorenHynes]

It happens to be an ex-GTW GP9r that was (at some point in time) a GP9. It is now owned by CN (as they control the GTW).

Right, you get the next pic.

Alright, What you are trying to figure out is the second unit in the set. (Or the one withoiut stripes)
What is it?
Who owns it?
Who owned it?
What was it part of?
Where is it now?

 

[captainkman]

What is it? A Locomotive
Who owns it? A railroad company
Who owned it? A different railroad company to the above question
What was it part of? A fleet of locomotives
Where is it now? On train tracks.

Do I get anything for trying? :hehe:

Ok, I'll be serious, I think it is a RDC railcar.
Amtrak owns it now?
Was owned by CN?
Part of? No clue.
Where is it? No clue.

Don't tell me, I know I'm completely wrong! Can we have British steam on this game?! Then I might have a chance!

RDC-1 railcar
owned then by Amtrak (assuming its still Rainbow era)
Guessing was once PRR/PRSL
part of...commuter fleet?
where is it now? Susie-Q?

 

[wilh]

Yes, it is owned by Amtrak and is a sort of RDC (but not a RDC-1), but what sort is it?

Is it a RDC-9?

 

[mrreet]

Never mind it is this:

"That is the lead car of the old New Haven Railroad "Roger Williams". It was a six car train made by Budd specifically for the New Haven. The end cars had sheet metal cabs (as in the photo above) and the train was equipped to run as a straight electric into New York's Grand Central Station via third rail shoes. The train is actually a few inches lower than a standard RDC as well.

The two cab cars and one of the mid cars survive and are at the Danbury Railroad Museum in Connecticut:

Sweet.

Ok, lets try this one.

What is it?
Where is it? (as in where was this photo taken)
Who built it?
What horsepower were they rated for?

 

[sawyer811]

what is it: E33, former PRR, now Penn Central (in that pic)
taken: somewhere on the North East Corridor, probably in New Jersey
who built it: GE
what horsepower: 3,300 (as would be implied by the E33 designation)

Almost but not quite right.

You got the builder right and Ill accept the NEC as a location, it was taken at Paradise, where the Strasburg Railroad runs to. Thats their line off to the right

 

[sawyer811]

Then i'd guess it's an E44...with 4,400 HP? I'm assuming, of course, that the number means the HP rating.
