I still wonder what's going to replace the Genesis. The Charger is probably going to replace it on the shorter/faster routes. But what will replace it on the Long haul routes?

I'm unfortunately oblivious to the visual differences. What's aesthetically different?

Amtrak is currently debating on whether to repair the Genesis models, or to replace 'em together, supposedly.

If they keep the Genesis, they better get a new paint scheme. Phase V is ugly as sin.

However this one is not in that livery, that I don't think since I can't tell as the photo is in black and white.

Gotta say the British class 88 is my jam. The fact that it's a proper electrodiesel is amazing, but also that it can work in multiple in class and in both electric and diesel modes with the diesel-only class 68, hell yes.

I post my fav from time to time, my first model, J72 Tank engine.

Worked mainly the north east of England. One of very few locomotives that was made by three companies; the N.E.R, the L.N.E.R, and British Rail.

Aren't there a couple of these surviving but in storage and the owner won't do anything with them?

Too bad they've probably been scrapped.

Heh.. my parents let me stay up and watch this premier. They thought it was so boring they never watched it again.

200 mph nuclear powered train. Takes day & a half to cross the nation. :-/

Looks like 20' gauge.

>Though it had a rated top speed of 250 mph (402.34 km/h), and cruised at 190 mph (305.78 km/h), the train took 36 hours to go from New York City to Los Angeles; this would put the train's average speed at around 80 mph (128.75 km/h), slower than the moderately-paced Amtrak Acela Express and well below the speeds of bullet trains in Europe and Asia.

Always aim low, Americuck

Specifically the LJ M36. One of my earliest memories is watching it doing some of the last hauling through Sakskobing from the harbour before the industrial part closed in the mid-90s.

The GTEL represents a level of "fuck the environment" obscenity that few other forms of transportation have ever come close to matching.

I say that as the absolute highest of compliments.

Hardly a knock off. They are smaller and built to fit a purpose just as the A1s were.

>Harry Wainwright had been impressed by the LBSCR A1x class Terriers, then being transferred from London suburban service to branchline use. Unfortunately in an effort to keep building costs down, several dimensions were scaled down (e.g. cylinder stroke and bore both reduced by 2 inches) and these economies resulted in a locomotive with only 73% of a Terrier's tractive effort.
Sounds like a knockoff to me.
