Description
I went back yesterday morning and luckily the old engines are staged waiting for the engine that will take them to their new home at Frisco,TX
The world's largest diesel locomotive, 98 feet long
a Union Pacific's DDA40X, leads an eastbound
intermodal train at Hermosa, Wyoming, in July 1984.
Trailing No. 6913 are three new Norfolk Southern GE C39-8s.
Nicknamed Centennial after the 100 year anniversary of the
Gold Spike in 1969, these massive 8-axle locomotives are unique to UP,
and are powered with twin 645E3A engines that produced a total of 6,600 horsepower.
