World War 2 subs had Fairbanks Morse opposed piston diesels in them. After the war F/M made diesel locos with this diesel. they had one of the first 2400hp 6 axle locos. A sub on display at the Carnegie Science Center displays this engine. The 'painters' family will hire an attorney to get their just compensation for their loss because the rr should have a fence up! This is happening in my area right now. A woman tried to a take a baby stroller with infant across the main N/S tracks in Derry ,Pa.The stroller got stuck and she was hit. The only thing I 'see' knowing the area you have at least half mile visiabilty in one direction and 1 mile in the other--dah.
