Probably by me!

In reference to the UP 8 axle motor;

Union Pacific Railroad DDA40X 'Centennial' diesel locomotive #6938. The Centennials were the largest diesel-electric locomotives ever built, all for Union Pacific. Of the 47 DDA40Xs built, 12 survive, with #6936 (based in Cheyenne, Wyoming) still operational.

Good to know that there is still one in service. Since there are only 12 left, it looks like a steam engine is y'alls' best bet. If nothing is found today, starting tomorrow any locomotive will do, providing it is not a model. I don't want to hold the game up.

I'd like to see more pics of the big guys. Did you take anymore when you rode by?

Nope. Security came out there to run me off pretty quickly.

The same CSX line runs past my neighborhood. There is a crossing @1mile down the road. hear them everyday and see them almost as much. 4 and 6 axle are the normal. Now I have seen some service/repair equipment that have more but I wouldn't call them a locomotive.

It will get TAGGED. The steam engine I grabbed in Sanford for the NC ABC game, had 8 or more axles if anyone wants to grab that one.

The Museum of the American Rail Road, currently in Dallas and in the process of moving to Frisco, TX, has a centennial,in it's permanent collection. I don't know where it is at the moment, either Dallas or Frisco, or somewhere else? I just need the time to go looking for it.

Anyone in the DFW area????

It's been 9 days we have been stuck on this tag. Pick something else Mr D. In Winter, some easier tags will keep the game moving faster.

No tracks in my area. And I haven't had the time for a longer ride lately.

I can pick something else but can't actually get a pic as I am sick. How about a minor league baseball park? I thought about making that the tag item the other day. So get a minor league baseball park.

That's no better than the 8 axle locomotive. Try picking something that isn't limited by specific locations. You know, a common object or type of place. Perhaps something that people that don't live in major cities can still grab.

If I had time, I'd ride to Vegas and get either of those tags there, but I don't have most of a day to kill during the week just to go score a tag or two.

Little league etc is just very very minor league. ;)

or it's a league of "minors" sooo
you're covered.

Fine with me, get a baseball park. As to the minor league parks being scarce, apparently that ain't true.
