RAILWAY PRESERVATION LOSSES. There has been a fire in a roundhouse in suburban Nuremberg that damaged or destroyed 24 historic locomotives and cars. We are not referring to the main Deutsche Bahn collection in downtown Nuremberg, although Pravda is insufficiently clear on whether this roundhouse holds a subsidiary collection or some other museum's collection. (Old habits die hard where railway secrets are concerned, nichevo?) Where Worlds Collide links to German news coverage of the fire and the aftermath. Looks like a V200 diesel (the make that enticed Southern Pacific to go Fairbanks-Morse one better) and a German Santa Fe (they had freight locomotives with trailing axles??) are among the casualties.
