HiDef: SLRG SD90MAC's in Passenger Service

[jlebaron1]

wow! Using 90MACs to haul a few passenger cars? Are they loaded with dropouts from weight watchers or something? But if it saved the macs from the cutting torch, that's cool!

[TrainTrackTrav]

Very nice dude! Blessings!

LOVE THE H-ENGINE

@GordonFreemanD40

This is an SD90/43 MAC, not one with the H engine. One from CIT's lease fleet formerly working on CP.

[GordonFreemanD40]

@MrBargonian oh... My mistake... H engine doesnt sound good

[Drewster327]

seems like a waste of a 90MAC



[MilwaukeeNorth418]

@Drewster327 they were getting scrap any ways 

[metraF40PH163]

Very neat video! I love those old Full-Dome cars! Neat SD90 also!

[guilford681]

I feel bad for these 90s. They are now wimps pulling passenger trains lol...

[purelykhaotic]

@guilford681 These units are pretty busy...Passenger by day... freight by night...pulling a full load over the pass tonight!! Nobody is ever in La Veta at 0300 to get a video of that!! lol :)

Love the SLRG using everything from 2-8-0s to F units to SD90MAC's

[AMTK510]

Awesome man! Nice shots! They syre made those units look nice.

i personally think Amtrak really is a low down crappy company for not wanting to run the ski train under standards that aren't there own. i wish i could have ridden it. but its great IPH had work for the Macs to do

[Sniper12890]

@jointlinerailfan Amtrak should buy the Ski-Train, put HHP-8s on it and bring into NY Penn Station.

[trainsruleandroll]

LOL! Then it wont be called the Ski Train. It'll be known as, worse then Amtrak Express!

[jointlinerailfan]

@Sniper12890 good idea

[shadowknight227]

do they still have the f40's on the ski train?

[kittycraft]

@shadowknight227 Nope, The dumbasses at CN took it all.

[shadowknight227]

@kittycraft i am just wondering if they still exist or have been scrapped

[CoasterFan2105]

I wouldn't call it a "failed" takeover, as they are bringing it back this winter.

[GregInCalifornia]
