Hey! I wasn't that far off then! Actually, I misread the spec sheet and was going off of memory (a dangerous thing to do!) Even at 15800 lbs it is still considerably lighter than #40 or one of the Shays!
The guys at Railstar aren't stupid. They have to know that this little Prarie type can't haul the same loads and won't try to! My guess is that we are going to see three to four car trains running and that diesels will be pulling at least half of the trains.
Is it as good as what we had? No. Is it more than we figured they would be able to produce? Possibly.....heck, probably! The point is that it's here so let's see what they can do with it!
Hmmm.....I gotta admit that she's kinda cute but PLEASE lose the carnival colors! That green and yellow combination just is too bright!
