Remarks & Notes |
Size comparison: Think GE centercabs are small? 65 ton GE #399 practically dwarfs 42 ton saddletank 17 as she brings her train back into the NHVR yard. Notice how the caboose towers over 17 too. However, you wouldn't be chuckling at this pocket sized loco if you'd heard her accelerate her loaded 5 car train from a walking speed up a 2+% grade with not a single wheel slip. The two engines swapped pulling every other train on this ride day. Check out www.nhvry.org for more info. |
