I was thinking the other day while riding the bus, what's the newest piece of revenue equipment? I'm mainly focusing on locomotives, but rolling stock and structures are welcome. J.T. jtjjtb@aol.com |

If you mean newest to be preserved, we have a PCC from The Hague, Netherlands, built in 1971. I think a few Boeing LRVs are preserved (Seashore?, Oregon?) and Seashore has the SOAC "State Of the Art Car" subway car set from the early 1970s. There is a Metroliner powered car at RR Museum of PA. Anyone save an SPV 2000? Wesley |

I assume your question means, "what's the newest piece of rail equipment officially preserved?" It probably isn't "officially" preserved until it's taken out of service and rolled through a museum gate, but I'm told that CSX has already designated a specific EMD SD50 to be preserved with the same "DO NOT DISMANTLE" stencils used to set aside equipment destined for the B&O Museum. My memory says the SD50's were built for Chessie and Seaboard in 1983-4. |

There are Boeing-Vertol Light rail vehicles at the MUNI Railway, the Western Railroad Museum and the Oregon electric Historical Society in Brooks. The cars were built in like 1979/80. Car 1252 is the only piece on WRM property to be young enoug for me to have ridden it in revenue service. Also I have ridden the Philadelphia PCCs that now run on the F Line in San Francisco in both cities. Ted Miles ted_miles@nps.gov |
