Class 66, not pretty per say, but a nice livery helps
An EMD locomotive. Originally made in Canada and then Indiana for the British and later versions for European markets.

Maybe...But don't forget that we live in small countries (UK, Europe) and we don't have room for American "monster" diesels.You guys must like them suicide cabs. Not much protection in an accident.
1650 is the hp each set of drive axles has, so 1650x2 co-co and bo-bo are the classifications given by the UIC (International Union of Railways).Please tell me what the 1650x2 means? And the Co' Co' means???
Not so rare anymore, but these were always fun to drive.plus buses, the big bend in the middle units- rare here
The latest figures I can find are for 2019 but there were no fatal train collisions, derailments or overruns, the last time something like that happened was in 2007. So I think our driver's are ok.You guys must like them suicide cabs. Not much protection in an accident.
Blasphemy class 66 has some of the best liveriesTo be fair, our railroads are privately owned, so everything is fenced off, and maybe we have a handful of crossings that are not protected(no barriers) most lines are double tracks, and we don't haul the tonnage the US does in a single train, so really unless you were to rear end another train, unlikely, or derail the loco chance were good you'd survive.
And I was referring to the class 37, the 66 is horrible.
Good luck,hope it goes well.Good evening. 32° and partly cloudy. Not much going on, I've been checking old thumb drives of photos dating back to 2004 or so, have one or two to upload in future posts.

Joe - My sincerest best wishes for a successful procedure. TAVR seems to be a much less stressful procedure than the old-fashioned open heart surgery; at least they don't stop the heart during a TAVR procedure. My prayers are with you.My Aortic Valve Replacement, (TAVR), is scheduled for Friday, February 3rd. Pre-op testing and orientation is Wednesday, February 1.
It's similar to a large truck and trailer,you just have to be aware where the rear end is when you turn at road junctions, our roads are smaller so if someone goes past the white stop line, someone has to back up, (not me) always fun watching half dozen cars having to back up, and the only person who knows why is the guy in the front.Chris - That orange bus must be a bitch to drive on those UK roads.
Welcome in Europe !That orange bus must be a bitch to drive on those UK roads.
