7 Union Pacific SD40s and SD40Xs - Part 2
Before UP acquired a fleet of 682 SD40-2s, the model's predecessor, the SD40, arrived en mass to prove the concept of a reliable, single-engine locomotive design that was suitable for all of this western carrier's needs. Part 2 covers units 3083-3122, many of which ended their days in Mexican lease service.
20 Diesels of the Maine Central 1939-1980 - Part 1
At its peak, this New England carrier operated nearly a 1,000 miles of track,
85 percent of it within the borders of Maine. Sampling a handful of diesel-electrics prior to the start of World War II, it quickly dieselized after the war with a mixture of makes and models. Join us as we take a look at its diverse and colorful locomotive fleet.

53 Santa Fe's H12-44TS
While the Fairbanks-Morse H12-44 switcher occupied a prominent place on the western carrier's roster, it was the custom-built H12-44TS that was most seen by the public as three of the unique units switched Chicago's Dearborn station.
