We hardly ever see any switcher units 'round here. Often they'll switch the yard with road units, unless PIR no. 2342 is around. Check out my video of a train leaving McCullough, pretty typical of what I see here.
Nice. One of my first HO scale model locomotives was a TP&W GP18 but I've never seen any of their real power in action. Yes TrainmanKight some flasher crossings do not have bells. There are a good number like that where I come from in southern Wisconsin.
Thanks man! Yeah you can go death when your near that type of horn. On the other switcher, it has a low sounding horn, and you can barely here it at any railroad crossing
Uggg yea that IS an ugly sounding horn! Still great video! 5*****

Interesting video, never seen these units before! And I live less than a mile from the IORY's home base, McCullough Yard.

I know the route 251 crossing in El Paso IL doesn't either.(Front St. I believe) It has cantilever signals but no bell.
