    Where did you find that? Is that at the Orient street locomotive facility here in town?
    Now if we could only dress Doug Gottlieb up as a damsel in distress and tie him to the tracks in front of it. Kidding of course.

      A friend of mine posted this on my FB page. The original poster wrote : "The Railroad I work for (Kansas & Oklahoma railroad) is rolling out a newly decorated Locomotive and its a Shocker!!!!! If you wanna see what this 262,000 lb WuShock looks like , come see the dedication on Tuesday March 11th at 10 am at 800 W. Walker St. Wichita Ks."

      This is the image every team should have in their mind when they take the court against the Shockers! A runwaway diesel engine screaming towards them.

          That's awesome! Too bad Amtrak doesn't run in and out of Wichita. That would make for a great party train back to St Louis in two weeks.

              Cool, I hope even the pos gang members show respect. My thought on gang graffiti is that if you want to mark your territory like a stray dog, then lets shoot you luke a stray dog. It would tick me off to see this awesome beast defaced.

                    It appears they did more than one. I saw a picture earlier with a different engine number.

                          Some pictures showing the front display a different number in the little windows at the top. I think it's engine #4001 but maybe the other number has to do with the route or something.

                          But the significance of 4001 could be . . .
