“We don't make mistakes, just happy little accidents.” ― Late painted Bob Ross I noticed the other night that the Santa Fe Dash 8 subs in for the old Dash 8 on Sand Patch Grade. It wasn't a planned substitution. It doesn't "fit" at all. It's not realistic or intended. It was an accident. However, it was fun to see it there. It really stands out as a bright red addition to the lineup and it's better than the original Dash-8 in my opinon.. I found it enjoyable and sort of a "hidden gem" instead of just a mistake. Has anyone else found any unintentional things that turned out to be enjoyable for you to find?
Think its only unrealistic in Modern times, since BNSF has pretty much junked their C40-8Ws However in a 90s era it wouldnt be out of place.
I’m not sure why they added 166. A different train, preferably a EMU would’ve been a better choice. I don’t know the history. Did the 166 run on these lines in the past?
I took a mate's ex for a coffee after bumping into her in the high street in Colchester. She was feeling down about being dumped and also about returning to her hometown after graduating, so I promised her 2 guest list spots for her and a mate for the venue I was DJing at the following weekend. Anyway, fast forward 21 years and she's just arrived home from work. We've been married since 2009. Does that count?
That's not the point at all though. The point is it's not a "planned" placement, but an "accident." And I kinda like having the fun out of place option, even on accident.
