Was that meant for 'USA pics' or is the 999 an electric?

NS 999 is battery powered, so technically, it is, in fact, an electric unit. I shot those pix just for this thread.

Deleted, I didn't know it was battery powered. My head is only in the northeast.

The 999 was built in Altoona, Pa. I'd classify that as northeast... It's fine, I wouldn't expect you to know that, half the reason I chose that unit was to see what you guys' reactions were.
Hehe, GREAT pics!!I always loved your MILW assets and route pics
Since you are also from germany...i recommend this link: http://us-modellbahn.net/acela/electric.html

Hallo - thanks for your compliments and for the interesting link.
I even like the "electric" shots here e.g. your BM&LP and metrarailboy1's New Haven.
But what means "Since you are also from germany"? Where do you come from?
Have a nice time.

Perhaps we live not too far away from each other
But in the other hand I dont have any information about another trainz-man living in Chemnitz, Germany

Hehehe,
Look at my profile 'location'
KBS700/702 is the Rheintalbahn + SFS Mannheim - Stuttgart, MP23 is Neulußheim, Baden- Württemberg 
Many people think i'm from the US because i never cared about german trains...

Btw...the 'New Haven' pics are also from one of my routes - The Northeast Corridor

July, 1958 - A midday Electroliner flies across Scranton Ave. at Lake Bluff, en route to Dempster Street at Skokie.
Then technically that also makes diesels electric locomotives since the full name is 'diesel-electric'..

They are electric locomotives that generate electricity through an onboard (diesel) motor instead of drawing it in from a wire or third rail.

Or a battery. Look, point is, it ain't a diesel.

How about we (myself included) all shut our traps and get back to pics?
