[NS2658]

nice catch with the amtrack and former conrail

[Railfan19960]

awesome vid Eric! i see NS 3366 all the time up in Harrington DE!

[CharlieX90]

is that the Conrail defect detector? surpised NS hasnt changed it

[gtw4918]

that horn was weird! Probably an airleak.

[xxxDeath9572xxx]

OMG! Why is my Blue 36 squealing horn! IT SOUNDS AWFUL!! But man, i sure you took photos galore to this baby in charge, knowing you Eric Thank god my Super 38 ( now puked on black.. ) didnt have that kind of horn. Mike Antal's little baby is the one thats still living large at blue, comes with one kickass RS-3L too. Shame that 16E had to ruin 10N out on this slope..

[elrodjones]

So the last 2 are unmanned?

[o00o00ozy]

Manned Helpers.

[jordan1210]

lol y u call it amtrash

[o00o00ozy]

I don't like Amtrash Pig42DC's; F40PH's were the engine. The Dash-8's and F59PHI's are cool, so is Acela and the AEM-7's. Virginia Railway Express is my favorite.

[jordan1210]

ya i dnt like the p42 neither it looks like a rolling box

[xxxDeath9572xxx]

I'll agree with you there Eric, the P42's are bolts on wheels practically. May I Also mention this train in the video went through Portage

[PaulPeirceFan]

thank-you some1 that agrees with me about amtrak!!

[Sabrestrainsfan]

awesome meet!

[Hickler90]

Great sounding SDs, nice crew as well. I need to get up there sometime soon.

[AliceInChains243]

Yea man it's the best shit in the world. There are only 3 blue 40-2's left: 3338, 3336, and my favorite, 3347. haha THATS your excuse to go to the west slope soon, to catch em!

[youbite1]

i think 3347 is the last one left!!!!!!!

[gtw4918]

No, 3347 is the last on the helper pool. There are still 35 blue sd40-2s on norfolk southern.

[meccaturbo]

@gtw4918, not quite true...NS rotates the other SD40-2's into the helper pool periodically, so there are blue ex Conrail units that show up in the helper pool from time to time.

[gtw4918]

I think it's odd 3336 was taken off the helper pool.

[AliceInChains243]

Yea I'm not sure when they yanked the 3336, but all I know is that its SURE not there now. Last time I saw the 36 was back in February.
