Walter’s a Handsome Puppy Dog. 👍 He said Dad, I’m just Glad you take me out to See the trains because it sure beats being left at home waiting for your Return. 😬👍
Red you can run classic plates on that F150😆. I love your still rocking it, they definitely don’t make ‘em like they used too. Never buy anything 2020 or newer, it’s nothing but lack luster quality and problems with these ‘Cvirus’ era vehicles. Buy something pre 2020, I’m telling you quality is guaranteed better. Anyway 3 SD75I’s, an SD70M-2 and a Dash 9💪🏼, pretty healthy power. Love them Iowa Northern Geep 38’s! And not to mention them rare SD38-2’s! Awesome drone shots Red, I swear you got the best train videos on YT👍🏼😁🇺🇸🎄
Thanks a lot STRETCH LIMO! My Dad bought that truck new in 89'. I recently replaced pretty much the whole body. Still cheaper than a newer truck. I like early 2000s vehicles, it's all about the rust here in Iowa. The CN yard had a nice variety of power that day👍🇺🇸💪
Another great video, both on the ground and in the air.........i saw a video of the "other" C&NW today, its a soon to be abandoned subsidiary of the former Southern Railway. Its the "Carolina and North Western"!
@@redsiowatrainvideos6645 the engine that was shown was an Alco RS-3 that looked like the long hood had been raised to accommodate a different prime mover, and it was painted in the old Southern freight diesel colors. So, no copycat!
Thank you for catching the Canadian National's L571 on 5 November 2022, Red! That was a long train with all that power on the front. The drone footage of the Canadian National's Waterloo Yard was an effective way to see the size of t of the yard.
That's certainly was one of the bigger CN freights with five units as it was mixed up front but then a solid ethanol train to drop off down the line along with the power for it. First time in a while Iowa Northern was all GP38s no used Amtrak power or slugs. Always good to see the EJ&E units even if they look tired and yeah the yard sure got jammed up. Your angle was fantastic looking at the Grain Train on the left mixed Freight on the right and that group of ethanol cars straight down the middle. Kind of a railroad sized Thanksgiving turkey Wishbone. Good old Walter looked happy because he was with you and no yipper dogs to bother him. Take care
Thanks Paul B! I liked how the sun shined on those tankers as they rounded the corner. I found out those old Amtrak units have higher amperage than the GP38s. You see them when the Iowa Northern uses the slugs. I'd like to catch the turntable in action sometime at that yard. Walter is always up for a train chase!
Great catches Red , the drone view of the CN yard was fantastic . I bet back in the day it was really busy there, would you know how long they use the grain cars ? some of them have seen better days. Thanks for the great videos you do.
You're welcome David! Yes I'm sure the old IC days were busier. Glad they at least still use the turntable. I think a lot of those Iowa Northern cars are close to 40 years old. Supposedly they can only go up to 50 years old.
