Don't forget Arizona Alan. Arizona makes a small contribution (2-3%) of the natio's Oranges.
Nope, not any more I believe. All P-40s, except for the 8 used in Auto Train service, were stored. All power for Northeastern trains are P-42s.battalion51 said:Yes like other Northeastern routes the Vermonter, Downeaster, Shuttles, and Regionals (to Boston before electrification, out to Harrisburg, Niagra Falls, and Newport News) all used P40s.
That statement's not entirely true. There are still a few P-40's hanging around, they were going out to Niagra Falls and Toronto, they were at one time even going to St. Albans (I know this because my buddy cursed himself up a storm when they had one) within the past three months. So while they aren't out in abundance, there's a couple still floating around out there.All power for Northeastern trains are P-42s.
Well let's hope that they are not really floating, like they are in that picture in the Amtrak literature. :lol: :lol:battalion51 said:So while they aren't out in abundance, there's a couple still floating around out there.
Yes it is odd, and I don't know what it was doing in Sunnyside, although I doubt that it was being used as a switcher. Nonetheless there was an 800 series motor sitting in the yard unattached.battalion51 said:A diesel non switcher in Sunnyside? Isn't that a little unusual Alan?
Well that could be, however the 40 would still have to be dragged through Penn by a P32 AC-DM, due to the no diesel rules in Manhattan.Amfleet said:Well if P-40s are working on trains out of Albany, then maybe it came down from there.
