Nice Nick I really don't understand why people gave you so much sh*t on this video I just enjoyed every minute of the howling of those engines!!! And the horn was awesome too!!!
@lordbemylight are you fucking kidding me? it sounds nothing like a horn of an SD70MAC. both engine types have k3ha24s but both have diffrent styles. this horn is its origanal horn dummi.
I've also been to Coal City--great location for trains. Sadly, BNSF took out the switch to the cutoff to the ex-GM&O route. Also, BNSF allows 60 max through this area for stack trains--most go 50-55; this train is NOT going 70 MPH. The Southwest Chief roared through here until July '96 and was good for 90+ every time!
The horns on the BNSF SD60M series have always fascinated me. This one is no exception. I cannot tell what type of horn it is, but it sounds monstrous.
Overspeed is geared for 70 mph on most road locomotives. GEVO's and most other widecabs have a 83:20 gear ratio, meaning that they cannot exceed 70 by much, before the engine governor kicks and applies penalty brakes. I'd say the train in this video was doing 60-65 mph. Either he had a blown turbo, his engine was completely in Run8, or he had the dynamic braking on, to create that moaning sound the engine is making.
Thank you for catching the SD60M for me,I appreciate it! if you have any requests! my dad and I would be glad to fill them! thanks again your friend DeVerne!
thank you for catching that for me! Is there any request I can fill for you my friend Nick? Sorry it took so long to get back to you on this video! I was so busy commenting on your other awsome videos! your friend,DeVerne!
Hi nick it is me again! I have decided I am going to deticate a video to you of either the Kansas City Terminal or of some WATCO switchers I've seen downtown! Talk to you tommorow your friend DeVerne!
Hi Nick you can expect the video to be up next saturday! Something interisting about KCT is that it is owned by all the major railroads in town! KCT BNSF UP NS KCS and CSX provide an interisting mix of trains! ! talk later your friend DeVerne!
yep those railroads plus the KCT which they all own makes for a heck of alot of trains with diverse paint schemes and locomotives! and lots of diferent horn sounds!

Thank you so much, DeVerne! I really appreciate it! I was very glad to catch this one for you.
SD60M's will soon become more common on the BNSF Chillicothe Subdivision. :-)
Anything that you'd like to catch for me would be fine by me!!
Take care. Talk to you soon.
