[GP9railfan]

Not bad. Too bad about the wind noise, but oh well right?

My camera is from Taiwan, so there's it's a little sensitive to sound for some reason, but the vid quality is good, i can get 12mp photos with it at 4000x3000 res

Nice to see some old GP9s even if they have benn rebuilt. I saw a CP GP9U running by itself on a 60-80 car train in Winona. First time I saw one come through.

[TrainmasterCurt]

Thanks, yeah i love trains the most on branches and spur lines, they have that old-school lazy speed to it, no rush

@TrainmasterCurt HOW would a GP9 CARRY 80 CARS?!? its only 1700 HP !!!

[TrainmasterCurt]

@trainz675 In the 50's and 60's GP9's were mainline units, but yeah you would need 2 to carry that many cars

[trainz675]

@TrainmasterCurt you would need atleast 3.

That unit used to hang out in Winnipeg - I saw it on December 22, 2004 and October 11, 2005.

Still does, lol, Winnipeg still has some good quantity of industrial spurs in the city, there are lots of unused ones too
