Re: Trains on google street view.
One of the units is actually a SD9043MAC, with the roadnumber what appears to be 8162. The number "8162" is now on a GE ES44AC owned by UP. The SD9043MAC shown in the link, has been renumbered to "3584" according to RRPicturesArchives.NathanFromEngland wrote:Some UP SD70's and a GE ES44AC in Price, Utah.

It could, but it'd wouldn't be safe for rail operations though, considering the huge size of the wheels.dan the ca railfan wrote:well this steamer locomotive could use a good restoration!

Plus it would be hard to not only restore but it would be hard to locate spare parts too, pretty expensive!

Also, i'm pretty sure certain railroads (like CSX) don't allow steam locomotive on their rails most likely for safety and budget reasons.

There's a rather long trestle bridge in Eltham, VIC that suburban trains regularly go over daily, and they have no issues doing it.ZachL wrote:...the same way it would have 100+ years ago?NathanFromEngland wrote:Well, how does it fare against a wooden trestle?
