Well this train started in Altoona and took all the power that needed to leave the shops and put them on one train to Conway, after that they went on different trains.
Great video! That is a sad sound to hear, as this howling noise (known as the EMD Turbo Howl) is a bad sign of a turbocharger about to call it quits on an EMD 710 Engine, this has been happening for SD70ACCs and SD70M-2s and SD70ACes for a while now, hopefully this won't be an issue in the future, regardless of the locomotive dying, the sound is a heavenly noise to hear, it is very rare, and to be cherished, you are lucky to hear that, wonderful video man!
I caught the 2572 a few times with the howling noise, even one in a snowstorm. It's a great noise, but wondering how it was in the cab of the engine. The sound was so loud it was even drowning out the horn.

It is still hearable today from the SD70 rebuilds into SD70ACCs

I remember seeing this clip in a series you uploaded called "Insane Lashups". I'm wondering what happened to those videos, they provided a nice variety of lashups and I remember watching them back in 2015.
NS #1580 fired up in 2016. as of now its at Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum for restoration and repaint and its off to the Roanoke chapter of the NRHS.
Yes, its about a 50 50 shot that its pure CSX power. There was an oil train, I think in January of last year that has pure CSX power. Cause the NS power was ripped off for some reason, so there was CSX around that had a good cab signal leader, so it led.
that is good to know. I have rail fanned the cutoff since 1976. my favorite camp spot was Hansrote. as I recall the gates went up during the tunnel enlargements. one of the gates restricted access to the Kessler family cemetery which I think may be illegal. @@NS6677
