Is there no end to the disease! An affinity for diesels and AMTRAK has manifested itself in the middle of the Pacific! Poor Kid-zilla now suffers from this affliction!
Oh, the suffering…
Eric
The force is strong with this one !
I can see Kid-zilla leading the charge for an Acela Island hopping venture 
For the boy^^^^^^^^
For the boy and his father ^^^^^^^
Awesome…Of course then we had to look at more AMTRAK stuff…
Eric watch for an Aristo U-25, they are reasonably priced and work on fairly tight curves , not 100% sure they will negotiate your layout but it would be something to see on Hawaii!
I’ve actually considered something like this just for fun. I have a Craiglist feed that I check, and if it is 45mm gauge and reasonably priced, I get it! This happens ever 18-24 months, but you never know what will show up around here.
Thanks Pete I appreciate that however I “bash/make” my own.
Eric,
He is invited anytime!! Ship him over and when his 4 week summer course is finished he will become a changed man (yes I said man) ! Diesel 10 will be no longer and it will become Diesel F-40 or P-40 or something like that.
Oh and when he ships back over from my 4 week intensive course he also receives a complementary 30 pack of Mountain Dew along with a rescue package of Benadryl if needed in an overdose situation.
A little push pull service
More of some Amtrak F unit
A great blooper ^^^^^^^ turn up the speakers … 
I kinda ( Really) like the last one ^^^^ with proper backdrop and other things it would be pretty neat for photo ops .
That next to the last one, the camera angle makes it look like the cars are hairs away from hitting the bridge abutment. Nice videos , Rooster.
Any lasting damage on the dragging equipment??
Actually to my surprise there was not any other than a little road rash.
Thanks for the videos, Rooster! Kid-zilla is already planning for his 2023 summer intensive. He figures he can use a lot of sunscreen.
Eric
Somebody or something is pounding the Amtrash videos but I don’t care. However I felt these were useless so I thought I would post one or more of a few back in the day in the hood!
Ok…classic pic below
I think I have pics of Lewis Polk and Charlie Ro together somewhere …this is all John Bocks fault from bringing up old hat with box smashing !
Fred broke the toilet that day!
and charlie is/was smiling
Is Charles Ro the picture under Lewis and Rooster? He and Andy and Rooster are the ones I know/ recognize… maybe. Being a left coast person, and fairly new to the hobby , I don’t recognize all the old time train guys
Yes Pete this is Charlie and Rooster
The nark !!!
He hides the string well …
