Delaware-Lackawanna monster train leaving Scranton

[johnmventre]

Nice train. Why so much power ? Maybe they put two trains together ?Maybe they are coming back with a bigger train ? I wish some one would do something about all the graffitti.............

2 SD40's could have pulled that train over those hills

I have seen some of the damage those Steel Bands can do!!!!!! I remember reading somewhere a person had his feet just cut off by one....horrible...and I see them dragging along the track all the time...too scary!!! Nice Train though!!! How did Conrail get trains over this route before they abandoned it??? And EL too for that matter..lots of engines????

Stell bands are worse. They guillotine a switch target or anything else near the track

[ffej980]

thats how many alcos you need to pull that type of weight over MT Pocono...

They've got those old girls set up for radio-controlled distributed power?

Next to last car is the reason you don't stand near tracks when photographing.

[sunlitstormclouds]

Do you mean because of that strap hanging down?

[choirboyfromhell1]

Yup.
