guess the LOCO game...

[trainut]

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 )

Yes! But that's not all the information I want.

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.

Bingo! You got it. Your turn!

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

That is true, but tycoonk4 still gets the gold.

It's been over 2-4 days. Isn't it up for dibs now?

 

[trainut]

Yup. (ten characters)

 

[qassaquyangli]

DIBS!

It's not what you think it is...

 

[trainut]

Um, it's two SD40-2s with a piggyback train?

Um, it's two SD40-2s with a piggyback train?

Im talking about the first loco (7049), should've said that in my other post. (It's not what you think it is)

 

[SD45T-2]

It's s SD40-3. Wild guess because this unit shows up as a SD40-2. Even the picture you linked to says it's a SD40-2.

 

[qassaquyangli]

Still not right. (Hint, experimental locos, UP had some 3805-3808, a bit different from BN's but same model designation. BN's: 7049-7053)

 

[boyerm25]

SD40T-2?
TEN CHARACTERS?

 

[SD45T-2]

SD40-2S, with improved traction motors. That's my final answer.

 

[boyerm25]

SANTA FE!!!

EDIT: I mean Burlington Northern.

 

[qassaquyangli]

SD40-2S Is correct, so tycoon gets to post the next pic, unless, you know.

 

[SD45T-2]

Guess this.

What is it?
What was it before it was rebuilt?

 

[qassaquyangli]

It looks like SD45. But it was rebuilt, so, it should be a SD45R.

 

[SD45T-2]

Nope, note that it has no mars light spots.

 

[qassaquyangli]

SD40-2M.
Used to be a SD40-2.
Correct?

 

[SD45T-2]

Rebuild is close enough, but former unit is wrong.

 

[qassaquyangli]

Oops I mean SD45.

 

[SD45T-2]

Correct. Now post something.

Everyone should know most of GE's locos, so here it goes:
