That's a pretty cool locomotive! Where was it built and will it be shipped back to the United States?

| It was built by Lima and will never return to the US because it has no history here and more in the UK.

I was gonna say "Well that's too bad." but then I realized that it looks very British and that's where it spent most of it's time so it deserves to stay in England because it has become it's "home".

Well, there are a couple of S160's on US rails... the latest is #557 under restoration in Alaska.

I like the color scheme. It has some British touches, but still retains enough of its brutish American appearance.

Yes indeed. I like this thing a lot for that very reason. It's a mix of British and American engineering and design. Kinda neat actually.
