They're only diesels after all. Same shape, just different pretty colors. See one, seen 'em all. Andy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trisonic Posted May 4, 2014 Author Share Posted May 4, 2014 Actually, Andy, N&W Class J #611 will be there - which I haven’t seen since the very early nineties. I’ve never seen, in person, any of the diesels - let alone so many in one place at the same time. Best, Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

highpeak Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 One very interesting participant is the Pan Am F unit. Not because it's that special as an engine, more because not that long ago nobody would have believed the company would be bothered to own such a locomotive. Mellon and Fink Jr. seem to have decided it's better for business to look like a railroad that means business. A bit too far to go alas, some classy engines there. And really they are electrics (other than the 611 of course) that don't need a fixed power station and all that wire and poles to clutter up the photos.
