Hi All,
Been doing a lot of searching for info on the Wabash Mikado trying to find out if it ever pulled the heavy weight passenger cars? I haven't found anything at all and was hoping someone might be able to confirm they did. I know they had quite a few of them but think mostly for freight. Would love to repaint a AZL mike with Wabash and pull that heavy weight set.

Thanks for any info ,Dave

Well, a quick check of online sources reveals nothing along the lines of Wabash using their Mikes for passenger service. I guess their 64" drivers would not supply sufficient speed needed. One site mentions the UP trying some for that role, but not really much else...

But what the heck? It's your railroad, you can use your motive power as you see fit...
