Hello all!
I´m new here.
So I start saying "hello" and telling a bit of mine.
I live in Vienna, Austria. So please don´t be so strikt, normally I speak German. I´m interested in US-trains because they are so big compared to "our" European trains. E.g. here in Europe, there are no (freight)trains longer than ~30 wagons, and the locomotives haven´t that power and that size like it is in USA.
I like my home railroad, the Austrian Federal Railroad (AFR) (in German: ÖBB - Österreichische Bundesbahnen) and it´s rolling stock most of all, but my favourite American locos are:
diesel: Dash 9 (BNSF)
steam locos: "Challenger" (UP)
electric: GG1 (I think from Pennsylvania RR)
