[BrodyFarmBoy]

whats the long line of locomotives at 1:19 a dead line or a power move?

[chessie4155]

Power move..Westbound have rightaway, so they had to wai

t in the hole

[BrodyFarmBoy]

well it looks like a deadline because of the rusty GP9s and GP40s

[chessie4155]

nope...these units are still earning their keep..

[BrodyFarmBoy]

Thats good because the railroads taday retire there true workhorses everything ranging from GP38 units to SD40-2 and they replace them with the newer GE crud,the only GEs that I like are from U30Cs to C44-9Ws

[steven8979]

great video man! whats the roadname on the geep at 1:19?

[chessie4155]

Thanks..The blue geep is a C&O GP9 sent over to the WM..it has a quick patch job for the road ..

[chessie4155]

Thank You so much..

[BNSF9192]

Probably because they want to keep that switch from throwing into a different position since i'm guessing it's not hooked to a switch motor.

[chessie4155]

OOOOOOOPS, sorry bout dat! lol We use them to show if the switch is open (red) or closed(green)..I forgot to remove it when I made the vid..

[jwerren78]
