General Discussion / New twist on hand-car rides?

General Discussion / Joe Fox at his day job...

« on: September 18, 2017, 07:46:54 AM »

This past Friday evening I caught our own Joe Fox running PanAm's "POED" (Portland to East Deerfield) run, as he passed through Andover, MA.
At 7,800 feet long, Joe was already at Lowell Junction when the end of his train passed by me! Powered by 2 4,000 HP former CSX GE C40-8's.

This strange little steamer was found by Bernie and Hansel at a coal mining museum in Lansford, PA...
