Yes they are definitely built for strength and not for looks, real monsters of the tracks.
best wishes,
Lawson

great from this angle showing the details and
strength of this engine well ... no matter how
advanced technology will get, we will always
need these workhorses to pull the heavy loads ...
Happy New Year,
Adele

Very nicely taken and edited. I remember those midwest coal trains that have 100 coal cars or more in them. None of those near where I am at now.
