About This Item

The Yellow Locomotive

Most cities in the US and Canada do not have regular rail passenger service. AMTRAK and VIArail can't go every place. This TB will bring a train to your location even if for just a few days. This one of a fleet of five locomotives that are looking for new places to visit. Which one will visit the most new places? Which one will go the furthest? Don't let Congress kill rail travel!

Oct 13, 2005--Timetable update: Well, on the day that it was announced that the Northeast Corridor may be broken away from Amtrak proper, I now put an out of commission sign on the first of the five locomotives--Green. Orange hasn't moved in a while, red is in someone's possession for over six months, yellow and blue are still chugging away.
