  5. The BL20G (remove HEP specs for the work units): http://www.thedieselshop.us/Data%20BL20GH.HTML It's a replacement for the old tired switchers, which will either be museum or scrapped. - A
  6. Awesome stuff. The locos are not overkill, they are branch line equipment, and nothing could define SIR better than a branch line, even though it's an orphan branch at this point. They were moved from the mainland to the seaside yard track by weeks marine floating crane. The other older locos that are there will be retired soon. I find it interesting that they have the cutouts for the 3rd rail on the pilot. - A
  7. I know... Hence why i made the comment about them not fitting even though they are the same length as IRT rolling stock. In fact, they had to be tested on the now defunct elevated lines due to their width before the first tunnel was complete. As i recall the elevated lines were originally steam hauled 2-4 cars, since they didnt make a steam loco narrow enough for a typical trolly line they came up with a compromise loading gauge. At least that's what i can make out from the stuff i've seen/read. Perhaps take a look at some of my other posts before assuming i'm stating something thinking one thing & the topic being another. I've been on all these different systems between here in pa, newark, jersey city and nyc and out onto long island. :cool: - A
  8. I find it funny that PATH cars could only fit on B division even though they are way short. :cool:
  9. Yes the ones from northwest. Northwest regularly code shared with continental, and with continental and united merging it's seen as unneeded extra. - A
  10. The largest airline in the US is united continental inc. The largest airline by fleet would be delta but they are retiring a large number of 717's and selling off some other fleet, in comparison united continental is about to take delivery in a few months of the 787 and is only retiring the very oldest most cycled aircraft. Lufthansa is the 2nd biggest after united continental in the world based on fleet size. - A
  11. I always bring my olympus out when i'm riding trains. - A
