Eastbound SW Chief approaching Lawrence, Ks. Lead was #141, trailing, #168. Normal
consist for this area. The train kind of vanishes into the fog about 3/4 mi. East of my
position.

  • Lookie hyar; thar haint no Saiskwachus down thus fer South, hyar. Theays a site furthur on upt Nartht!

  • What caused the charring on 141?

  • I'm not sure. Could be really dirty. Some of the locomotives that I've seen recently had paint blistering, and falling off the sides. These things really get hot. Then when you add 90+ degree heat with blowing dust,in Southern Cal., Arizona, New Mexico, Kansas, etc. who knows? Anyone know?...Thanks!...Doc

  • man...... i'll tell you what. i saw that damn sasquatch on my way to topeka.... stories been told about a whole colony of em'.

  • i have a friend who lives in kingman arizona his dad bought a brand new chevy in 01 and its already rusting from the heat!!!

  • Lots of those engines head over Donner Pass (by me) as well as Rockie Mountains and other areas. When you go through the rockie mountains you have the 7 mile long Moffat Tunnel plus lots of other tunnes. The diesel soot builds up on the engines when going through tunnels. Could be other reasons for the blackness on the lead unit but most likely soot from going through Tunnels.
