About This Item

The Green Locomotive

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

Took him to visit the Danbury, CT Train Museum and had his picture taken next to one of the "big guys". He will be on his way today.

My buddy Splicing Dan! I think this is the second time you did this to me on another of the TB's you were carrying. OK, so maybe it will be a better qualitry cacher...but with my luck, a snow plow will be needed to clear this train's track!

I caved-in to the peer pressure by Crouching Hiker. He insisted that I leave Tatanka's TB in this remote location. The only consolation that I can offer is that the cache will be visited by intrepid cachers who only visit quality caches such as this. So its future will be in good hands. Don't take it too hard Tatanka.

I think that your TB's will feel right at home in 'My Monkey'.

I am launching this TB today. For what ever reason, the date and state don't show up in the description. This is a good starting place for this engine as it is just down the way from the Kew Gardens (NY) subway yards. Please start this train on its way making as many stops as possible.
