There is a grade coming into Folkston northbound, which is why you'll see videos on here of trains making a slow start if they have been sitting a stop signal.
the ruggedness and reliability of a GE is eveident. here. that's why the GE u-boats put Alco, Baldwin and Fairbanks Morse out of business, and why GE became the number one manufacturer of diesel locomotives in 1980, and has remained so ever since.
a B36-7 a rare loco these days, those used to be very common back in the 1980's early to mid 90's but with new clean air regs, and things like that those 2 locos should be preserved in a working railroad Museum someday, whats the grade north and south through Folkston Ga, and what radio frequencies are used?
Im sure there was something wrong with the GP-38-2 trailing because with that kind of train im sure he would have had the unit on-line. At this point in time all the B-36-7`s have been derated to 2300hp. I dont belive any true B-30-7s or B-36s remain anymore.
Catching A776 with a B-boat is becoming harder and harder so great catch! The one time i managed to catch it in Folkston it had a AC44 leading, go figure:P
Holy moly, is that B36 pulling all by itself? I don't hear the 645. We've got two B36-7's around here right now, CSXT 5880 and 5894. Very nice-sounding locomotives.
