An I1 2-10-0 in passenger service? Must be a leisurely schedule!

[BigDAS]

Possible. As a kid, I road that line during a power outage and the electrics were inoperable. The loco was used to shuttle the cars out to the next stretch where the power was restored.

[nativegerry335]

did the steam loco come with it's route and activities?

[BigDAS]

No, it's one that added to the scene along with the passenger consists.

looks good, but the I1sa was a freight engine...if you want to be more accurate, find a passenger locomotive like the k4s or something...just a suggestion...looks good though

[BigDAS]

Thanks. Yes, the Decapod was used primarly for freight, but sometimes used for passenger service in case of emergencies like power outages no cab bodies were available. I recall the GG1 being the popular engine of the era.

Very Nice Video. I didnt know my creation was on youtube. You should do another one showing more of the cab which was my baby. Good to see the sim is still alive and well!

Kind Regards,

Jim

Pennsylvania 6-5000 was a huge hit during World War 2.

[AshburnStadium]

It's actually the phone number for the Hotel Pennsylvania in NYC (built by the PRR and across from Penn Station), where Miller frequently stayed and performed.

That phone number is still held to this day by that hotel (in today's numbering system, the number is now 212-736-5000).

It is the longest-continuously-used phone number in NYC, if not the world. It was assigned to the hotel in 1919, 90 years ago.
