Seeing how this thread has been inactive for four months, I think you can go ahead and post the next image. Hopefully we'll see a revival of this thread

If you just looked up EMD 2000 SD40, its a SD40-3MPR :hehe:
PJAMA gets the show the next Q (Because SD40-2 was close) if he wants to or he can call dibs correct?

 

[GossenGarrat]

Correct, so PJAMA, please post a new challenge within two days

 

[PJAMA]

Gladly. Here we go!

Which Maker?
Which Model? (Both long and short model numbers)
Which Three Roads? (First one should be quite obvious.)
What Numbers?
What were they Nicknamed?

 

[rebel57]

Baldwin Centipedes
dr-12-8-1500 one locomotive
d2-12-8-3000 two locomotives permanent coupled
6000

 

[PJAMA]

You're right on the first two, but what roads were they used on and what numbers were they?

 

[rebel57]

oh i miss it so PRR, Seaboard and N de M
u mean axle 16 wheels per unit or 4-8-8-4 or 4-C-C-4??

 

[PJAMA]

You're both right. It's a Baldwin DR-12-8-1500/2 (BH50) Used by those roads. I'll leave out the numbers this time.

 

[boyerm25]

Is someone gonna post a new pic?

 

[GossenGarrat]

It's up for dibs now. Whoever wants to post one can.

 

[trainut]

Dibs!

This should be an easy one. Give me the whole story on this: What model of locomotive is this? When was it retired? How many numbers has this locomotive had throughout its lifespan and what were they?

It's a Baldwin VO1000. I don't know the rest.

You're close.

It's a Baldwin VO1000. I don't know the rest.

You're close as well.

 

[boyerm25]

All I know is it is Santa Fe.

 

[trainut]

All I know is it is Santa Fe.

Just as close as everybody else so far!

 

[qassaquyangli]

It reminds me of the Beep (Half Baldwin Half Geep (EMD))
Wait, it is! (Judging by the GP hood and BLW cab.)
(Just a hint for all those trainzers )

 

[SD45T-2]

The Famous Beep. Re-Built from VO-1000 #2220 (Made in 1943) in 1970 to become 2450. Renumbered to 1160 to not clash with the CF7's. Renumbered to 1460, then it gained a BNSF patch and other things. It bit the dust in 2008, and survives at the Western America Railroad Museum.

I think the correct designation is SWBLW. ( http://atsf.railfan.net/beep/ )
