Granted, no trip on a train is wasted, but my all time worst trip was probably one that went on but without it's advertisied power.
Dick Jensen's 5629 had been sitting cold at Milwaukee Junction (Detroit) for better part of a year. It was to pull a trip from Detroit to Bay City in '67. Jensen couldn't get the thing working right, and the trip ended up being pulled by GTW GP-9's. Thrilling.
