My buddy Rich has an Alco RS1 with a straight six turbo Diesel in 12" to the foot. She coughs, sputters, chortles, and chirps with the best of 'em. She can haul two coaches at fifty MPH, going downhill, with a tail wind and a good grease job. However, unlike the mega-chooches catologued above, a thousand years from now, she'll still be operable. Huzzah !
