very nice we have a mineing railroad down here in East Texas ...Texas Utilitys Mineing Company all electric I understand they use some of the E60c units as well
Another great video. What is it like to have 4 active locos at one train? How heavy are these trains? At my company I am allowed to have 2 working locos only..
It would've been interesting to see BM&LP pick up the former BC Rail GF6C units when they pulled the plug on Tumbler Ridge. If I'm not mistaken, both systems use the same 50Kv, 60Hz power.
I live not to far from the tracks that this train runs on and never really thought about the model but I always see them signs that say 50,000 volts. ha ha thanks to the comments I now know a little bit about the train I hear every day.
BM&LP also has a very unique diesel locomotive called a TE 53-4E,(rebuilt from a GE U25B) they use it for pulling maintenance trains when there are catenary outages.
Nice video!

Welcome to the Black Mesa Research Facility, where you will be reported to the high security branch of the transit system.

You can see the way the 4 locos sorta lick their tongue out at OPEC. I never get tired of looking at this video.

I think that only one is still in service. The other 5 have been replaced by the ex NdeM E60C-2s.

I think they haul 85 cars, each car with a capacity of 100 tons.

Type "BMLP Cab Ride" in YouTube to see a video of an ex-NdeM E60C-2 cab ride.

They didn't need the headend power that the CPs had--that was for passenger car heat and light.

Why did BM&LP use E60CFs? Why not E60CPs?

I think they are about 10-13 years younger.

I think that they're down to only one--the other five were being replaced by the E60C-2s.

Yep! Coal loader near Kayenta, about 75 miles to power plant just outside of Page.
