Prototypes
#1

Number of the beast, lol

Gotta love them ALCo’s

#2

I thought this was the only Evil Diesel

#3

You would think that 666 would be skipped over, like the thirteenth floor in most tall buildings. Oh well, not all of us are supersticial, LOL.

#4

The Elgin, Joliet and Eastern (EJ&E) RR also had a unit numbered 666.

ATSF #666, “El Diablo,” ruled the southwest, prior to the merger.

Ok, so a dismal with the number 666 is evil. I will give you that one. But, in general, aren’t dismals evil to begin with? Didn’t they kill off the steam locomotive? Tongue out

Well, thats our story here on the P&CS, and we are sticking to it. Wink

Wouldn’t the plutonium fuel rods in the tender be a radiation hazard?

No problem with the ‘plutonium fuel rods’ they can be encapsulated with silver paint!Surprised

Kinda like out older government buildings with asbestos tile floors, encapsulated with floor wax…Cool
