  • @Chase1609 Dont the UP use those for air and electric power?

  • I WAS ON THIS TRAIN!!!! I'm one of the people hanging out one of the vestibules!!

  • @Chase1609 You don't ever need 'em with steam:-)))))

  • Right, the diesel loco's were not helpers, but after a few mishaps or other problems the steamers hed they didn't like being stranded. So UP decided to take large SD's along just in case, they were never powered up. So actually that was more weight the steamers had to pull with their impressive power.

  • @Chase1609 No worries. I agree though that it ruins the appearance of the train with a big diesel behind it. There was nothing worse then seeing a hideous Amtrak P42 behind the Daylight 4449 a couple years ago.

  • @Chase1609 The UP didn't use helpers locomotives back in the 80's and 90's either genius. Plus they are federally mandated so if the Chessie 614 was actually still being used, then it too would have to have them.

  • i dont think any really knows how powerful 614 really is

    It pulled at 22 car train unassisted at 79 mph

  • @OldsVistaCruiser wel baldwin did make the reading t1
