What is the motive power for the trips? Named as Amtrak trains probably part of the Insurance liability, similar what 4449 did heading to/from Owosso Train Fest. Havent seen pics of the 1134/1118 moves yet |

I believe she also photographed the 1134 and diesel moves, but she hasn't posted those yet. I will be adding links to her pics from the Lost Engines website when she does. |

Havent seen pics of the 1134/1118 moves yet Amtrak insurance, Amtrak locomotives, Amtrak passenger cars, and 7 Amtrak certified privately owned cars. I'll admit that there's been a lot going on around here lately but no, we didn't sneak into VMT after dark and overhaul 611. :) However, VMT is doing a nighttime event with Lerro Productions the following weekend. http://lerroproductions.com/roanoke.htm Wizzy should be posting some more photos today. I'll do a "Lost Engines" update sometime after the new photos are online. |
