8 Amtrak's First GEs
Today, America's intercity passenger trains outside the Northeast Corridor are hauled by a fleet of General Electric-built diesel-electrics. But there was a time when EMD-built units dominated the Amtrak locomotive fleet, and only
25 GEs were on the roster. Known as the P3OCH, they operated from 1975-1992.
33 CSX Transportation's Four-axle GE Fleet - Part 2
This multi-part article will cover CSXT's varied fleet of four-axle General Electric road switchers. This second installment covers the U23BQ, GE's design to enlarge the locomotive cab in the face of cabooseless trains.
39 Prairie Alcos - Part 2
For Chicago & North Western, the lack of capital funds resulted in the use of Alco models long after they had been retired by other carriers. In this part, we look at the RS-2s and RS-3s, as well as the 251-powered models.
