Local police around these parts seem to be effective with this guy. Though I have to admit this car is about two years old now!:eek:

A set of Texas and Gulf Coast Pooch's (P-30CH's) prepare to depart Houston's Union Station with the Texas Limited on its run to the Big Apple via the Virginia and Alleghenny.

While some roads had limited success with the big GE's, the TX&GC preferred the P-30's to it's F-40's on the long haul runs. This stems from the TX&GC practice of ordering its passenger units with dual HEP systems. There is a separate generator for HEP, but HEP can also be drawn from the prime mover if necessary. When operating in A-B-B-A or A-B-A sets, the B units are often set to run their prime mover as the primary source of HEP, saving fuel and allowing the trainset to make longer runs between fuel stops.
 
Great photos, everyone. The cornfield is awesome, but so are the other models. Fun while making progress. Yah gotta like that.
