Does it need a Green Card?

Can't have signals without railroads, so talk about your favorite locomotives, railroads and any other (non signal) railroad related stuff.

those show up in Phoenix occasionally. I think it is much easier to run Canadian or Mexican locomotives in the U.S. then it once was.

Being built by a US builder, and to all US specs means only the paint job is truly South-of-the-Border. Makes it easier to just let it run right in.

I see Ferromex locomotives in the BNSF Lake Yard here in Portland every now and again.
You think your car gets bad mileage? SP 4449 consumes 10 gallons of bunker oil and 100 gallons of water every mile.
