Watch the video again. The first two, and last two are still BNSF. The CN engines are the 19 engines in the middle. With four engines they are using about 17,600 HP to move that 3,800 ton train.
Was just the front engine pulling them or was there also a back pusher ? Reason i say that it looked like I saw smoke coming from the last engine? Awsome site and video !!
I think BNSF will later reget selling them, because they furnish / refurnish CN units 1st class style.. Like having microwave ovens in their cabs for starters. 8-)
i saw the coolest cn train in northern michigan a few weeks ago it was a cn ac4400 a bunch of coal cars a cn ac4400 helper facing backwards and a bunch of freight cars.
Is the CN shown on the couple of Santa Fe trains stickers or something, and the ones that looks like BNSF are acually CN, or just a paint scheme or whatever?
Aug. 07 / 2010: I have just seen today two freshly painted ex-C&NW, ex-UP, Now CN "C41-8 Standard Cab Units" go through Sarnia Ontario. The Units looked & sounded great as they pulled over 100 cars past here! I love the Standard Cab Dash 8's, so this is a huge plus for me. These are CN's first Standard Cab Dash 8's, how cool is that! I look forward to also seeing these great ex-BNSF Units, haha! Great Video Mr BNSF650, Thanks!
Very nice Video / Catch. That is very rare to catch a Power Move of that many Engines!!! I missed out on a chance to see a 20+ Engine Power Move in Clinton,Iowa on 6/15/10.
It's hard to think of seemingly-new engines being sold "already." Yet these GE's have been around for longer than I realize -- I'm getting older myself, so I guess it's a matter of perspective!
@arkansastrash320 They have only sold a few dozen for now, but they might end up selling more later. BNSF has a glut of unused engines at the moment, since they bought a ton of new engines right before the recession and traffic downturn hit. This massively affected older units, with all SD40-2s taken from the mainlines and SD60Ms, C40-8Ws, B40-8s, SD75Is, GP60Bs, plus others were stored.
@trainmaster55 No, that's not why. These dash 8s have not moved in 1.5 years, along with a lot of BNSF's older power. There are currently only four SD60Ms in service so far, all in Minnesota at the moment.
@pablof59 I counted three or four pulling, its hard to tell unless they are pulling hard or you are standing close. the two in in back were definitely loading.
@BNSF650 they did however try in the late 90's but the US government blocked the deal saying the company would be way too big for competition to thrive
wow!!! super power!!!
