Sometimes you see an engine that looks a little different. In my country we had the 1200 series: designed by Baldwin, and build by Westinghouse, Baldwin, and the Dutch Heemaf and Werkspoor. Not a typical European engine: However, this was not a standard USA design: there are no American counterparts. But how many other American engines can be found elsewhere on the world? I am curious.
The US Army Transportation Corps brought a lot of steam locomotives to foriegn shores for WWI and WWII, such as the S100 class 0-6-0, S118 class 2-8-2, S160 class 2-8-0 and S200 class 2-8-2. In more recent years, EMD built British Rail class 66 diesels at the London, Ontario, plant.
The D&H (NY/PA/VT, and Canada) have several that went south to Mexico. Photographs by Ed G Murphy at the National Railway Museum in Puebla, Mexico
Rebuilt SD40's in north Western Oz, These units are mainly a stop gap until more of these puppies come on line,AC6000's
Are the US GE6000s being shipped to Aus. or are they being built there? Australia builds, or has built, a lot of GE engines in Australia under contract.
They are being built at GE and then shipped complete to the Pilbara. I have heard that BHPIO has some SD70ACe's on the way
Jason: I think the guy who painted those rebuilt SD40s is the same guy who did the UP heritage schemes! THink so?
In the past, there have been engines with no American counterpart, built in the USA. Strictly done for export purposes. These days, there are companies abroad building new engines. Such as in the India/Pakistan region. So the market is much different. Boxcab E50
Foster Yeoman uses an SW1001 switcher to load stone trains at it's Merehead quarry. Apart from a similar machine operated by Hanson at their nearby Whatley quarry it's almost unique in the UK being a full sized US switcher, it cannot leave the yard at Merehead as it is both taller and wider than the UK loading gauge! This sequence of pics shows it shoving a cut of loaded hoppers out to the yard, and returning with a cut of box wagons to load.
Great series of pics martyn Is the screen over the radiator to keep falling rocks from causing damage?
assides from the diesels on mining lines in australia. queensland rail also had some baldwin steamers made in the usa. http://www.sunsteam.org.au/galleries/gallery04/photos/t75d.htm we also had some steamers built in england and scotland
GM send this engine in 1954 to Europe for promotion of its diesels. The engine still exist: The Swedish factory 'NoHab' and the Belgian 'Anglo-Franco-Belge' started building engines based on this GM-prototype. We call them Bolle Neuzen (Chubby Noses): After 50 years, many of these engines are still running for small railway companies. They bought the engines from the national railway companies. There are also museum railroads, like in Belgium, who have some units.
Actually SL,this "deck" is an average sized one,they get much bigger than this. Btw this is the company I work for,biggest heavy haulage co. in Oz.
LoL,glad it's not as busy as the two NR in Aboriginal Livery!!! http://www.trainboard.com/ultimatebb.php/ubb/get_topic/f/9/t/006687/p/1.html#000009
I presume so, given the amount of dirt/dust/debris on the cab roof (second pic shows it well!) it would clog the radiators pretty quickly I should think!
