Epic click-a-dee clack.
God bless.

I love steam. The China QJs look and sound good. But I really prefer our steam more than these. There is a lot out there still that would be nice to see them run again.
-
American steam power technology came to a halt when?, '45 or so? The Chinese played with it through the '70s at least. It would be interesting to see design differences between this Chinese locomotive vs. American ones.

man, I haven't seen QJ's in years.
-
i tell you what needs perserving.... an SY locomotive
-
This loco looks nice, much better than those so called HSR.
-
i like the whistles on those locos, its good to see steam even chinese
-
these engines are owned by iowa interstate they have 4 or 5
-
i can only presume that as the chinese moved to diesel and electric power, they were going to scrap it and some americans stepped in and brought it before the locomotive got cut up.
nice to see them preserved. i wander in 50 years time if an acela will be preserved?

@cismok I might have the details wrong about date, but I think it was about 10 months ago. Im pretty sure the BSVRR bought it.

my cars were made in china but i pull them with a MTH loco hiawatha 4-6-4 F-7.
good looking train who owns the QJs?

I believe they are owned by Iowa Interstate. Or perhaps by the company that owns Iowa Interstate. They will be running short trips from Rock Island October 18-19, 2008. They are scheduled to be pulling a freight from Iowa City to Rock Island on the morning of October 18.

Why do they have the Milwaukee Road 261's coaches?
franklinterrier 3 years ago
Friends of the 261 provided the cars for the excursion. They were brought to the Quad Cities by the 261 which tripleheaded with the Chinese locomotives the day after I shot this. There are plenty of videos of that trip on Youtube.
