From several years ago. Spring 2006
2008 First picture of an F40FH
Still with an Alco B unit and the fabricated power car.
Grand Canyon 2011 saw (2) F40FH units. No Alco's
I heard they dropped their steam program. What happened to the steamers there?
I took this picture of the CB&Q steamer on display at Williams 2006 shortly after Xanterra Corp took over the train excursions. Workman were removing the steps. Fuel consumption a big issue when the FPA4's would make the trip for 1/4 the fuel.
A few years later My son Matt and I in William AZ. with one of the Lake Superior & Ishpeming consolidations (No 29). 2010
There was a thread no too long ago about the use of reclaimed peanut oil. Click on the underlined phrase to link.
Too bad. It would be nice if 539 were brought back home. Too bad I didn't win the Powerball awhile back.
Those Alcos are gorgeous.

Xantera is ramping back up the steam program and #4960 is powering the day train to the Grand Canyon the first Saturday of each month. The train had 14 cars on it last Saturday. But the Alcos are now only reserved for special occasions.
