This is how everyone in Austin thinks their city looks right now.

These things are awesome. Not exactly the same, but my dad grew up in NJ and once rode the train just to ride on a GG1 . He said if it pulled any harder out of the station the couplers would have broke. They were know to do that.

The GG1s were electric...see photo...and were rated at 4800 hp continuous and short term at 9000 hp...designed and built in the mid/late 1930s...lasted into 1981. Amazing machines. The Centipedes were diesels...each had a pair of straight eight 625 rpm turbocharged diesels that made 1500 hp a piece...3000 hp per unit and as pictured 6000 hp. Horribly unreliable machines...barely lasted 15 years before getting scrapped.

Aware of most of that. I live in MD, and as a youngster I was taken to pretty much every train museum in a 200mile radius. Such powerful machines that they cut a few of them in half to be snow melters.

Same situation with my father. We used to have a huge HO set when I was a child, but the only thing left is his GG1, after we moved and it had to be dismantled. But he used to go on it for the same reasons. Because GG1. He also brought us to just about every train museum/tourist spot. Living not far from Steamtown, we were there at least once a year.

Holy shit. I'm from the Baltimore area, and have been to Steamtown a few times. I had family that lived up near Wilkes Berre and would ofter stop on the way back. Seeing a Big Boy in person is quite an experience.

Interesting, I did not know they could do that with sailplanes. I knew they did have multiple tows with some of the combat gliders of WWII

Also disappoint since I misread and imagined one of the propeller trains pulling some gliders.
