OK. Here we have Ted's Pride and Joy Lashup. Seven (count 'em) GP engines
Ammeter was at 8 amps with this crew.
Seven engines, ten cars. Ya think it might be overpowered?
The bridge trembles as the mighty lashup crosses.
The unit swings back over the trestles. Good thing they're strong.
(Hmm..Seems to have picked up an eighth engine. Think it needs a helper?)
The news chopper and the Medivac bird await a disaster.
Nore the Union Pacific GP below the Seven Lashup.
Now, an economics lesson. Eight SP diesels pulling 10 cars, 1 UP pulling 10 cars.
Which one is being more economical ?
And as we leave the old steam roundhouse, we bid a fond adieu to the great 8 lashup.
