#12 is definitely an ex MEC unit. They're the only railroad I know of that carved a notch into the cab for the horn, and also with the xenon strobe light mounting pads. Only thing that seems to be missing is the bell over the engineer's window.
New York Central and Pennsy liked the run long hood forward as well under the premise of collision protection. By the Penn Central days, the emphasis had switched to long hood trailing and visibility (as well as one could expect with the high nose power).
Hi Dave here I am starting to look into modeling O scale I like the looks of GP 7 GP9 and SD 9 I am going to model a freight yard do those engines I listed work in yards? like your Videos Dave
very cool video havent seen to many taken from this angle nothing sounds better than a couple of geeps notching up from a stop i wonder if these units have ever been to the lincoln maine area if so iv'e probably seen them 13 years ago
Fantastic video. Great sound...Thanks.. A question : What is this there are on the exhaust ???... Is it a silencer ???... 5 stars... Do you have more of this fantastic GM exhaust videos ???...
I know that some of the fans on top a loco are for cooling the electric braking elements. Where is the radiator on the engine. Surely the engine is water cooled, right?
Rumors, and actually happened once. You can NOT park a 567 under an underpass for too long, the hot exhaust will melt the structure on the bottom, which soon a few years later, which cause a huge accident, with bridge collasping.
