      Was there a large group from England on this trip? It was in September 1995 and I was told it had a very large group from England that wanted to stay together is why they made up such a long train with 3 engines instead a shorter train with 2 engines.

    I'm pretty sure I was on this train when I was a kid. I remember the 497 and 463 came uncoupled a few times because of the size differences between the locomotives. Of course each time this happened the brakes would set on the entire train. I remember them having to back down the hill a little bit to get started again. It was a fun day.

    @centerprairie Bought a black 544 in 1961, built like a tank, cost $2250, loved it. Traded in for a 122 in 1968, an even better car, cost $2650. Never understood how Volvo turned into a luxury brand, they were economy cars in the the 60's. The 122 was a joy to drive, the faster you went the better it handled. Drove cross country in 69, mostly at 80 to 90 MPH.
