| This bizarrely-colored and cladded locomotive was actually Amtrak FP7A no. 492 dressed up for TV. It starred in the Vincent Price vehicle (heh) "Time Express", which was cancelled in 1979 after only 4 episodes had aired. You can find out more about this particular engine in this TrainOrders thread (more threads are linked in this one too): https://www.trainorders.com/discussion/read.php?4,1291718 . You can find out more about the show itself here: https://www.cancelledscifi.com/2021/05/01/sci-fi-tv-obscurities-time-express-1979/ . Steve Gartner photo, from the Ralph L. Phillips collection of the Bay State Model Railroad Museum. |
