The TF Railroader News
April 8 2010
Transfer and initial test runs have been completed on the pair of decapods.
They were transferred from Pennsylvania's Frankford Roundhouse to Catford.
Catford London Roundhouse Chief Engineer Catford Ken has said
initial test runs are completed with positive results.
This pair of Hippos soon to be joined by a L1 mikado and H9 consolidation
will help relieve the power shortage on main line freight service.
The presence of these engines will provide local railfans with many moments
seeing these powerful locomotives working with and alongside British Bulldogs.
It will be a sight to be seen.

A followup report on locomotive engine 56. A photo of it was taken by our roving reporter
who was out shooting pictures of cherry trees in bloom.
Engine 56 can be seen here with a train it towed on the spur to the mainline.
With headlight, bell, and new road name.

Good evening this is Richard reporting for the first time. I am a new employee to this company.
My first pictures for this newspaper are of Western Maryland #763.
She is returning from light work done at the shops in Bergen Point New Jersey.
The crew at Frankford roundhouse did a great job of repairing her braking system.
After turning on the wye the crew picks up workers and retires for the night.
