The newer Siemens Charger locomotives were put into service on Amtrak's Wolverine last week between Chicago, IL and Pontiac, MI. These photos were taken over the fence in Dearborn, MI when I was leaving work for the evening. They're not the most aesthetically pleasing engines, but they sure are quieter than the Genesis units that we're used to. Neat to see something new for a change.
Our 1927 Plymouth 14 ton locomotive made a rare trek from the roundhouse in Greenfield Village to just outside the railroad doors of the Henry Ford Museum today for the unloading of a new railcar for the tourist trains. It's amazing to think that C&O Allegheny 1601 squeezed through those doors (barely) back in the 1950's when it arrived.
