Hey all; I’m sure someone can help but how do other railroads borrow units from others? Is this done on a miles basis or engine hours? I assume railroads all at some part on their network link up to allow sharing of motive power? For example in Vegas over the last week a good 1/3 of the trains I’ve ...

Just 21 left now; a little digging and checking of video/photos of the last month show just these below of the type to still be flying the Southern Pacific flag...

Now just 32 left.

6424 has gone through the paintshop.

Apologies in the late reply festivities got in the way. Happy New Year all! Now just 33 remain. I don’t know if all are in traffic I guess so?!

Now down to just 36 I believe...

Site updated again. Down to 38 now. Still enough about but the yellow army continues to grow...

A little bump to the thread. Would appear still 41 examples left in the scheme still so going strong for now by all means

Many thanks both again for the update. Upon review and looking at google street view I just can't make a trip to Utah viable for photography if there simply isn't much to point the camera at. I may visit Arden again but don't know if any viewing points that are suitable I would assume at the south e...

Thanks both of you for your information :-D I have been to the Nevada railroad museum so that I can cross my list. I see off 1-15 on maps the Utah railroad station has a museum is this worth a visit? Also of note near this museum to the back is a triangle of routes merging into a massive railroad ya...

The line through Las Vegas isn't terribly busy, seeing around 12 trains a day in daylight hours. Better bets are the Overland Route Omaha-Roseville, CA and the Sunset Route New Orleans-Los Angeles. It's really hit or miss with the patches as they simply run around the system in a more or less rando...

It's part of the Heritage Units website and is updated almost daily. The latest update to that page was on May 31, when 6352 was removed from tracking as it was repainted. The patched units are tracked on the main screen, though less frequently than other units. Brilliant many thanks again. I am cu...
