Posted by Janusz Mrozek on July 16, 2013  This looks great, I want to go! Posted by James Belmont on July 16, 2013  And to think 12 years ago, this same carbody (with the now missing prime mover, of course) was dragging coal trains across Soldier Summit. Posted by Rob Jacox on July 16, 2013  Stayed 2 night in the F45 in July 2011 on a railfan vacation. Luckily it rained on us (hard) one day and we got to spend a day railfanning from the cab. It was an experience I will never forget! Posted by Tugboat on July 17, 2013  Now those are a real mans ceiling fans! Posted by Tom Gorton on July 17, 2013  Log onto the website for the Izaak Walton Inn and get the detailed, fascinating story on the conversion of this loco from motive power to luxury lodging. Posted by Alexandria Becker on July 17, 2013  A truly unique and awesome way to preserve a locomotive. The story behind it is also pretty cool to read. A stay there is certainly going on the bucket list. Posted by Rob Jacox on July 17, 2013  The conversion is amazing and very well done and was well worth the high cost ($350 a night/2 night minimum). But I have read that new owners/operators have considerably raised rates across the board, which makes me more glad I stayed when I did. Posted by Scott Haugland on July 20, 2013  Wow, it looks pretty nice inside, and comfy too. I finally get to see those "funky fans" that I commented on years ago when I first saw this unit here on RP. Nice adaptation.
