Ever heard "turnaround loops are not prototypical"?

Is it a diesel or an electric? These guys seen below look stumped.

Automatic boiler controls for a N&W "M" so it can be left unattended for extended periods of time???

It could work....

The first statement would apply to the New Haven FL-9 as well.

From what I have read, the NS F's are geared for 90 mph. Looks like the picture was taken at Trenton, NJ. I think Track 3 is good for 110mph through there, so I'd think 90 mph is a good guess given eyewitness accounts that they were moving quite well.

We didn't stop on the way up to Canfield, but the boxcar behind that one used to be a substantial part of the hardware store's train shop. It's well worth stopping if you haven't.
