On Wednesdays, trains 41 and 48 have t...

Once the Orange line cars get to Seashore, would they be able to MU with the Blue line cars they got in 2011?

I'm sorry if it's been discussed, but what are the plans for the Talgo series 6 trainsets? Are they to be scrapped? Would any museum/tourist RR be interested in obtaining a set?

I have a Bachman Spectrum model of VIA F40 #6425. Today, I found out that 6425 was involved in a derailment in Manitoba. 6425 was leading when it and the trailing unit landed on its side.

So now I have THREE models of locomotives involved in accidents: 6400, 6425, and 6444.
