Have those "eerie" bad ordered looking Pale Orange BNSF "Pumpkin" Dash 9 locomotives? Been repainted yet?
As I recall the Niles Canyon Railway obtained an old SP F7 locomotive. Is it going to be painted in Black Widow paint scheme soon or a bloody nose insteadf?
Where is that SP F7 locomtovie that they call the Cyclops with its upper single beam headlight? Is it still operational and/or in existance? Maybe on display somewhere where its "eerie" appearance could be observed?
Did any one ever consider making a lsahup of these locomotives along with some Great Northern or Illinois Central orange colored passegner cars for a Halloween Special? As such a makeup would look pretty "spooky" for a train indeed?
Is the Ghost Train of Old Ely been running as any Halloween Specials this year or has in the past for a "spooky" special.
