whats the weirdest train you know?

Oh there are so e really fucking weird ones a lot of weird ones were very niche and were designed for something very specific but some were actually rather popular like the better garratt which were very popular in South Africa but weren't that common anywhere else although some were used in Australia and because South Africa only ceased Steam Traction in 1991 many of the Locomotives were sold off and sent overseas mainly to the UK, New Zealand, and Australia

But that's just the better garratt which weren't that weird and about 1200 were built from about 1908 to 1968 to about 100 different designs

The next few Locomotives were much less common starting with an Ancestor of the Garratt; The Double Fairlie

These were an type of strange Double ended Locomotive in the 1860s but really only the Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland Railway used them and they still have a few like the one above (they also purchased a few Garratts from South Africa seen above)

Next on to the Steam turbines which were largely experimental and never really panned out but several different designs were built mostly one-offs

Most of them didn't work very well

Next is a retrofit of an regular steam Locomotive to be able to use a different fuel source during a coal shortage that being the Bizarre Swiss Steam-Electric Locomotive

Switzerland has almost no Coal and thus during world war 2 had no coal but they did have cheap Hydroelectricity and their railways were mostly Electrified so they just made the abombonations

So if I'm going to try and make a presence here, I might as well start with what's probably my first major character.

This is Plexi the Duplex Engine, a powerful, energetic, yet unconventional passenger engine. Notice her two different numbers. The 8 is the road number she carries for her current railroad, the Twin River Route. The 6110 up front is her original number, as delivered to the Pennsylvania Railroad

As a class pioneer built in wartime, Plexi's early years were quite different from other streamlined engines. She quite feisty and highly strung, rather touchy to those that disrespect her or her family and friends, but also largely confident in her abilities, just not always aware of where her limits lie.

Give a Little Chase, 2 of 4

The Traverse City Turn, of the Great Lakes Central Railroad, has worked two sites in its namesake town and is returning to Cadillac, Michigan. The train has now joined the main at Walton Junction and is seen here crossing the Manistee River Bridge. Two images by Richard Koenig; taken July 18th 2023.

Now here we have the iconic Pennsylvania Railroad GG1 electric locomotives. There are four of them in my roster of TTTE OC engines from the PRR: Glenn (brunswick green five-stripe #4927), Gracie (tuscan red five-stripe #4877), Garrison (brunswick green five-stripe #4919), and Gaby (tuscan red five-stripe #4913). And these images will be here for Grantgfan to use when the time comes.

Penn Central ex PRR GG-1 motor 4877 leads a westbound passenger train on a platform track past tower SS71, and through Housatonic Junction at Devon, Connecticut, 1969. This train will shortly cross the Housatonic River Railroad Bridge. Highway I-95 is the elevated road on the ride side of the photo. The turnout to the left heads to Waterbury and beyond, plus it also connects with the Maybrook Line.
