I'll ask him.. ;-)
Diesel electric from GM
Correct. What model? Bonus points if you can tell me the horsepower. Hint: you can do that without knowing the model of locomotive... ;-)
buckeye coupling
You mean the one patented by Janney? Funny that you Brits would remember that it came from the Buckeye State while over here we don't even remember the inventors name (we think his name was 'knuckle'.. ;-)
drivers name was Sidney....
I really don't think so. If this Railroad had/has an engineer by that name, I never met him. Of course, I haven't met all of them.. ;-)
Snowbath heading west.
At a guess...3 to 5 khp.
Model , tonight no idea. Will get back on that.
That type of coupling has always just been known as a Buckeye, ‘ere.
It has been used on HSTs since the 1970s and freight from the early 90s.
Not Sidney. ...so what was Sidney doing that morning then, hmmmm.
