I’d like to get a scanner for listening to locomotive-talk - there’s a train tunnel about 200 yards from where I live, and I commonly hear the rumble and roar of trains.
Nothing like a stiff 2.2%, 15+ mile grade to bring a whopping eight EMDS down to their knees on a coal drag! Looks like that second unit blew a turbocharger and subsequently didn’t get a needed bath afterwards!
I think it would be fun if we got together this winter and a shoot together, a montana RU-vid co-op if ya will.looks like ya hit the monitze milestone congratulations!
What I took away from this video is don’t get caught on a snowy hill with 4 dash 9’s blowing smoke 💨 and no EMD Mac or ace on the headend or somebody’s gonna be walking. I woulda just cranked the 5 emd helpers up and made that consist snatch a wheelie over that hill and stop jerking around using one damn loco helper on the rear when there’s 5 connected. But that’s just me lol
Great job, I cannot believe the amount of energy North America sends to Asia , I work for a RR in northern B.C. and the amount of LPG and coal that goes to Prince Rupert on a daily basis is unbelievable.
