I didn't know if the Star Clipper in Iowa was moved to Michigan or not.

Doug

Is this the same Star Clipper that ran in Iowa back in the '80's?

Doug

It is back in Utah lashed up with two other units according to a post on Trainorders.

Sorry to hear about your accident,but glad you are going to be okay,and atleast you can see trains from your hospital room. Again hope you get to feeling better and back to normal soon.

Doug

3300 is still in service as of Jan.2008.

Tolono is a good spot also with the NS crossing the CN/IC. In Tuscola the tower is no longer there. When I was there in2006 I just parked in the public parking spaces that are alongside the UP main. Highway 45 follows the CN main fairly well.

Doug

I don't remember the UP number,but ex-CNW #8575 is still in CNW paint.

Doug

Glad you at a good time railfanning "my" part of Iowa. UP through Ames sees upwards of 90 trains a day,and the BNSF in Ottumwa sees around 30-40 trains,although a year ago I went down to Ottumwa and in 7 hours only caught 4 trains. Hope you make it back to ride the Boone and Scenic next time.

Doug

I was out there a year ago and after talking with Mark if anyone can get 3001 running its him.

Doug

Looks good. How does this simulator compare to Microsoft's?

Doug

Looks like it's ran by the the people that run railpictures.net.

Doug

I plan on catching some ICE trains before they're gone. I'll probably try either Ottumwa,Iowa or Davenport,Iowa.

Doug

Trains are now running through the derailment site.

Doug

I believe the only remaining Trainmaste is in a museum in Canada. There might still be a Baby Trainmaster working in Tennessee. I can't remember what the name of the complex it was working at though.

Doug

Thanks for the info. That's what I thought,but wanted to check before responding on the other forum.

Doug

I was on another forum and someone said that late phase GP40 had a sight glass and late phase GP40-2 did not. I think his facts are wrong,but wanted to find out from others if I was missing something. He is not talking about any rebuilds like the one Norfolk Southern has been doing.

Doug

Kasey Kahne and anyone else who drives Dodge.

Doug

That happened in Des Moines,IA. If it had happened today there would be a good chance that one of the trains would have hit his car. At the time almost every train went into the yard(Short Line Yard). I can't remember when that happened,but it was either the Chicago and North Western or Union Pacifi...

THe 1995 has been working the MPREA and MEAPR as of late.
