I betcha that engineer hasn't run an EMD in a long time! Great catch!

Wow! What a catch! Wonder how that Surfliner power got on the Empire Builder? Also, I've never noticed before, but the blue of the Surfliner really kind of matches up with the Phase V paint well.

I also wonder how this surfliner engine got on the empire builder? Great shot Robert!

I wonder if the engineer has ever seen an F59 before?
|
Here in Wisconsin I heard the CP dispatch telling someone that #8 was running very late yesterday...I bet the 455 was a rescue engine...
|
That is an odd find. I've never seen anything besides P42's on the Builder in the last 5 years. If AMTK 455 was the rescue, its still rather out of place in Minnesota, unless it came up on California Zephyr.
|
The 455 has spent several months working on the Cascades out of Seattle. Given the severe power shortage in the PNW recently I'm not surprised to see this.
