love the ex-Conrail engine on train #2, they can repaint it, but they can't hide its heritage

i heard i shave and haircut

If you're referring to 1:48, I don't think it was intentional; the engineer was blasting the horn for MoW equipment.

242's trailer, the SD60, was dead, wasn't it? Not a peep out of it at all...

[ConrailForever]

I'm not sure, I wasn't paying attention to it when it passed.

[furryfurball1221]

lol great vid! But Q386 has ES44DC's not 40DC's.

[ConrailForever]

Thanks, and they're in fact ES40DC's. All of CSX's C44-9W's and ES44DC's are now derated to 4000 horsepower. It's a recent change in an effort for fuel conservation.

[furryfurball1221]

huh. My bad man, didn't know about that. Thanks for the info

[ConrailForever]

No problem.

[SWPrrFanA1]

SWEET! I love the horn on the second train (242)!

[ConrailForever]

Thanks!

[cbehr91]

242's leader has a real horn.

Nice, I wonder if any trains go on the line by the browns stadium?

[csxcw44ac]

I wanted to get a shot out of the Rock an Roll hall of fame but no trains came by:(, and good catch with that ec conie C40-8!

[ConrailForever]

Yes, the NS Cleveland Line goes right past the Amtrak Station by the Browns Stadium. The is also very light CSX traffic up there, usually only then the Q229 runs, which becomes 29E on NS.

Awesome Video Cody! Are you getting snow yet?!?!?

[ConrailForever]

Thanks, Cory! We got about an inch or two of accumulation last week, but not much since then. Although snow looks like a promising prediction for this week.

[ohiosouthern]

nice job Cody, i like the shot from 1:57 to 3:01, nice area, be better with out the power lines but it also makes it interesting, 5 stars

[ConrailForever]

Thanks, Kodi! I like that location as well, and the power lines do make it harder to shoot. This location is also pretty bad for westbounds.

[csxketh1]

Awesome as usual!

[ConrailForever]

Thanks!

[GregInCalifornia]
