That looks more like an SD90-Mac loco. :-\ I'll trust you though.

That has upwards of 4,000 hp if I'm right about the type. ;D

where do you see one of those here in MA? i've only seen the SD40-2, AC4400, GP38, and shockingly, a Union Pacific Dash-9. it came into the CSX yard while two other trains were stopped right outside. it was cool. i saw my first real UP train then.

Yes leaving on the 5th. I got some great video of the plane landing, and tubing behind the boat. But the hotel internet is SOOOOOO slow.  >:( And yet I still have to pay $40 for this **** internet.

Although I did buy a super cool fingerprint reader from the Spy Museum, no more passwords. :D
