BNSF Railway operations at the Golden Gate Model Railroad Club

Just a heads up... Berkshire Partners (which owned EMD for a few years) isn't the same entity as Berkshire Hathaway, which owns BNSF. Anyway, nice layout.

@fyadcorp Thanks for the heads up!

Sounds like the last locomotive in the consist needs some oiling, sounds noisier than the other three units.

[hoorider13]

@railfan78559 The last unit is a salvaged SD40-2 I got for $5. It pulls well as a trailing unit and there are no plans to make it quieter.

@Rdrake1413 Thanks, I hope to get back to the Club and make some more videos soon!

I so dig the alternating ditch lights on the lead engine.

[hoorider13]

@CoastStarlight11 Thanks! It comes on randomly while I'm using DC power. If I were to upgrade to DCC, it would start flashing once I sound the horn.

very nice power! it would be better if you got some Kodachrome SF SD40-2 engines in their! lol

[hoorider13]

@UnionPacificRules Haha! I remember seeing those Kodachrome Santa Fe units near the Cajon Pass back in the early 90s!

[UnionPacificRules]

@hoorider13 Lol yeah i havent seen one of those since i was like 5 lmao they were nice but kinda ugly lol :P

[hoorider13]

@UnionPacificRules I first saw them when I was around 10 years old around San Francisco. I'm glad the SP/SF merger didn't go through. I liked the SP speed lettering paint job that Rio Grade did though!

[UnionPacificRules]

@hoorider13 i saw mine when i was on my way to disney world or something lol Yeah i know!!! I freaken love SP lol thats the one flaw UP has. they repaint SP and DRWG locos! i hate it lol
