And then there was "Christine," an Alco DL-109, a diesel locomotive
styled by Raymond Loewy, owned by Rock Island (number 621) and repowered
by EMD. EMD is ElectroMotive Division, General Motors. The DL-109
http://exotic.railfan.net/alcodl109.htm is one of the *classic*
locomotives; an XJ6 is a nice-looking car, but really, it's not in the
same class. Um, think Bugatti. Or Bugatti crossed with Duesenberg.
After the operation, you would have thought those boys had got likkered
up in order to work on her. ...
<she's-real-fine-my-109>-ly y'rs,

PS: Someday I'll tell you about my friend Barney the Pervert's cars.
