Following Anniversary Engine #156

[printman2000]

Really nice job.

Just two question though:

Why are there three locomotives on the LSL?

When is #156 coming down to Austin (Texas Eagle)?

No telling when it will be anywhere. Just keep an eye on this thread.

Hope some of the anniversary units end up on the CS or CZ so it comes through the SF bay area!!

Read elsewhere that #156 should be on #49(21).

It has been confirmed. Should be in Chicago today (3/22). Then it will have many options!

I hope it doesn't come down to Austin this weekend!

156 should be heading back to Albany on 48 tonight. My understanding is that it will be on 49(24). A little birdie told me it may be headed west after that. Subject to change, of course.

#156 Was indeed on #48(22).

I've heard that #156 will be on 301 from Chicago to St. Louis today, March 26. Might be returning to Chicago on 304.

156 Is reported to be in Chicago late night Saturday, 3/26. It did make a round trip to St. Louis.

I saw it and photographed it when I arrived from gbb on 382. It was on a different train.

 

[hessjm]

It arrived in Grand Rapids on 370 last night 3/28 and is returning to Chicago this morning.

Just read that 156 was on 3(30).

Just read that 156 was on 3(30).

In the lead position as well! That means they must have installed the ATS shoe on it.

 

[Steve4031]

I hope 156 is on 3(16) for April when I ride the Chief out to LA.

Looks like reports were wrong. This video shows 156 as the third of three locks.
