That's me driving the 620.
Not real fast but plenty of pulling power

I bet it runs pretty good when there's nothing attached to it. You look good up there!

They tried to limit me to 15 mph, but I got it up to 18.

Nice! Get any times? Like 60' or 1/8?

Maybe you can bring old #620 to Carlisle!

Re: Not real fast but plenty of pulling power
Very, very cool....and congratulations!!! How were you able to get inside the cab and run such a beast?
Looks like a GP-7 or GP-9 if I had to guess.

My wife gave me this experience as a birthday gift. It's called "Tracks of an engineer" at the North Carolina Transportation Museum.Blue_69_malibu wrote:How were you able to get inside the cab and run such a beast?
I was given instruction for about a half hour, then about a half hour of practice, then we picked up my wife and we did another half hour with her on board. It was great fun. It was very simple to drive...forward, reverse, throttle, brakes. The brakes took a little getting used to, but not difficult at all. Blowing the horn was also great fun.
