Rodney Pidcock General Awesome catch! 10/27/2013 2:14:01 AM
Oliver Bachmann General Can I guess from the picture that this great loco never went into any kind of service and is now being dismantled? 11/11/2013 7:50:22 AM
Jeff Carlson General You know, I'm not sure what the story is with it. The unit was built in Topeka, KS, then sent out for months of testing at the AAR test track in Pueblo, CO and an Army base somewhere. Following the tests, the unit was shipped back to Topeka, but it has been buried inside the shops ever since. I'm not sure what they were doing to it when I found it here. 11/11/2013 10:45:29 AM

Mark Herren General I shot it yesterday at MAC...the long hood is different and its labeled HH20B now 4/6/2014 10:17:47 AM
Jeff Carlson General Yeah, as can be seen on the frame here, it was an HH20B at this point as well. RRPA did not have that as an option, so I went with this instead. 4/6/2014 1:49:10 PM
