Thats alot of horsepower the whole consist has, probably about 15,000HP with with 6 SD40-2's.

@Zillion43

The first train in the video only had 3 SD40-2s. The 4th-6th engines are GP38-2s.

The SD40-2s are rated at 3,000hp.

The GP38-2s are rated at 2,000hp.

This train therefore is carrying 13,000hp, but only the 3 8800s are online in this video, so there were really only 9,000hp pulling the L431.

Nice powerups u caught, that's a long train.

@Zillion43

Powerups???? Umm....these are trains not video games. No Zelda here, and Link is a track in the Bronx, not a queer little green guy.

I'm surprised they allowed freight traffic to go along the tracks with high platforms. It's a different case here in the DMV (DC-MD-VA).

[nhlives]

yeah - well the big reason it happens so much less down there is the freight roads own the ROWs..... Watch VRE in the next 15 years - if VDOT gets their way and buys the RF&P from AF to Richmond they'll start slappin up high's wherever they can.... I mean MN doesn't "want" to run these freights - they don't get that choice.

The freight train and the Metro North train Met. Nice catch.
