Hey, I finally got some pics of the articulated flats for you. I didnt have time to do any measuring. I will try next time. I got a few pics of them with 53'...
Andrew, I will forward this info to the ARRC railfan group here on Yahoo for their input. They are a rather possessive group when it comes to ARRC items. ...
I know that I just got up but I still want to know... is there a point somewhere within this email or is it as confusing to you as it is to me... jerry ...
Jerry; I don't know what they are using down under, but I don't think it is very healthy. I mean it is so bloody hot here in the midwest. (pardon the...
Stumbled across my old post and figured I should update it. The other big reason that the speed limit has been increased to 60 on that section of track is...
Just a random tidbit--if I'm not mistaken, the 19100-19400 series cars are all very similar--the only difference is that the 19100s and 19200s are equipped...
Also, the ride in the HEP geeps is quite a bit rougher than the standard ones, especially at 49mph on jointed rail. Apparently, when they installed the HEP...
Cluth et all, You know that does not surprise me. Considering how frugal the ARRC was and is, it is not surprising that the GP40-2's rebuilt for passenger...
I finally made my dream railfan trip to Alaska. I spent the entire week from July 15th to July 22nd up there railfanning and photographing equipment,...
OK, I got a bit mixed up. I was thinking of the pigs/artics (the three-piece articulated TOFC cars), of which some have the KFF (Keep From Freezing) power...

Hi Paul- Thank you for sharing your experiences with the group. Very enjoyable read!! The reports, and the recent ARR service disruption mentioning 4 freight...

I manage the BNSF intermodal facility in Kansas City and have had an interest particularly in all things intermodal for quite some time so I enjoy looking at ...
Tuesday, July 18th. I checked out of the Wasilla hotel in the morning hoping I would be able to catch the southbound freight. I waited around a bit and caught...
