They are very "hot" trains as Tropicana pays a hefty rate for rapid delivery. But as far as power, that probably was, like you said, some type of power transferr. The juice trains in my neck of the wood usually are on a hot Intermodal, CSX Q142.
Good to see your shootin' trains. Maybe we'll make a full fledged foamer out of ya![/quote]
Trains have been a pasttime of mine since I was little. I had two uncles in Maine that I got to visit every once in a blue moon. One had a cellar (that's a big whole under the house for you uninformed southerners) full of HO trains and access to both the B&A Railroad and the Maine Central. We used to go ride the B&A switch engines; I even operated the throttle on a BL2.
The other uncle was into models and trucks. I was so torn. Anyway, I've always loved both trains and trucks, especially fire trucks. One uncle went on to be a volunteer driver for a fire dept. The one with the trains went on to be a volunteer driver on an ambulance. I guess it's all in the blood.
