How many have heard of this engine and what its purpose was? Might be a good one to model for an Area 51 scene also.

That’s interesting - the engineers must have felt like astronauts in there!
Here’s a well-known type of locomotive - Canadian Pacific #694 - but it wasn’t discovered for years after derailing and diving into Lake Superior. The low water temperature doesn’t encourage the growth of marine life, so wrecks (whether ship or otherwise) are very well preserved.

Interesting that they didn’t use remote control or radio control to operate the engine, instead of having personnel on board….

Tom I wonder if the risk of radioactive noise would cause remote control problems if an experiment went sideways. I understand the crew had radio comms, but the controls had a conventional redundant backup. Dave
