Planes, Trains, Cars, and Ships (SFW)

I mean, they preformed better than the EMD F40PHs, in terms of long distance train travel.

I’ve ridden behind a few and they’re one of my favorites.

@NitroFury
I also kinda like the nostalgia of the F40s, which some can be seen still in service. Multiple ones have become cabbage cars or non-powered control units on Amtrak’s Cascades line

In terms of the NEC though, my fav is the ACS64

EMD F40C, Metra’s first Six Axle Passenger Locomotive

Oh dang! When did this all start?

@14Fan
You’re referring to my post

@NitroFury
Yes

@14Fan
These were made in use for the Milwaukee District North Line and West Line, but they came out when six axle Passenger Locomotives are at a declined, and Metra would end up buying a lot of F40PHs. There are a couple F40Cs that still existed, but they’re likely used for Spare Parts.

Of course Metra would not buy any Six Axle Locomotive until 2022.

@NitroFury
So those are retired ones? Or are they like what Amtrak did to their F40PHs?

@14Fan
Retired ones

@NitroFury
Ah, I thought they were new and I was like “The fuuuuuuuuck?”

GE AC6000CW

EMD SD90MAC

When too much Horsepower is too much.

What happens after the SD90? The SD100?
Same with after the Boeing 797. What’s next?

@14Fan
There’s gonna be a revolution on civil aviation.

@RD4590
Oh damn

electric VTOL, drone applications, hydrogen fuel cell aircrafts, and all that

Aviation is facing a hard time being politically correct (reducing carbon emission) because jet engine is the only reliable power source for long-haul short-time traveling so far.
