CSX Train With Get R Done Power - Folkston, Georgia

[Survivor1547]

Don't Forget also An Ex. Chessie Systems unit also

[fppd0804]

Awesome catch, love that K5la horn, tuned just right.

[CSX1123]

I really Hate seeing these units die out.

[RailWolf7306]

Nice. I wish the B36-7s and all of the other standard cab GEs would return, oh well.

[TheEmilychurchill]

THE GE B36 PULLING ALL BUY ITS SELF TUFF LIL ENGINE

[CSX2665]

Great horn and that was CSX A773 i believe my friend

[meccaturbo]

Those old GE's used to be the pride of Seaboard's fleet....pulling the hottest intermodal trains.

[CSX2665]

dag,dats a pretty cool horn & love that engine sound the B36-7 makes!

[CSX2665]

not just vintage,its rare power!

[chimai001]

amazing power with only one loco!

[meccaturbo]

2nd unit is ex Conrail

[CSX4772]

well, its pulling its heart out. awesome, love the GE chug which for the dash 7 class, can't be beat!

[lespaulguy32]

Is that in notch 8? Cuz that was the good GE power.

[lespaulguy32]

I love the old locomotives :)

[cheechchongfan97]

Very,very nice K5LA and Ge chuuging!

[generationll]

That oldie at the point doesn t have a very long nose

[Conraildan]

I recently heard on here that all the GE B boats on CSX have now been retired.

[rockguitarist946]

hey, the good GE is being used!

[marknute]

everyone agree it's in run 8?

[Brucelocomotiveman]

I like those older engine like the GP40 ,GP 35 and SD-40.

[csx4402]

a classic

[fleecejackets]

Awesome K5LA and good old GE bell!

By the way Bryan, "Folkston, California" in description lol.

5*!

[BlackDimond100]

@fleecejackets Sounds like a K5LAR24.

[RCKTBOY7]

These are the true backbone of CSX's fleet.

[TheRailRoadkid]

Folkston is the best

[DouglasP201]

The little engine that could.

[angelicsnoww]

nice

[TycoTrainAL]

Im sure there was something wrong with the GP-38-2 trailing because with that kind of train im sure he would have had the unit on-line. At this point in time all the B-36-7`s have been derated to 2300hp. I dont belive any true B-30-7s or B-36s remain anymore.

[robert21037]

What is the speed limit for this line?

[csxketh1]

79 mph but freights go 50 and Amtrak goes around 70 unless there is a slow order.

[trainboi21]

slow but good train :D

[WestKeystoneVideos]

I highly doubt CSX would let a B36-7 pull an entire train. B36-7's are highly untrustowrthy of frequent stalling and mechaincal problems. Even if this is a minor grade, this is a very struggling load for this B36-7 to handle just by itself. CSx probably activated the second unit at first signs of trouble.

[ERIELACKU34CH]

the ruggedness and reliability of a GE is eveident. here. that's why the GE u-boats put Alco, Baldwin and Fairbanks Morse out of business, and why GE became the number one manufacturer of diesel locomotives in 1980, and has remained so ever since.

[SpeakerPolice]

Holy moly, is that B36 pulling all by itself? I don't hear the 645. We've got two B36-7's around here right now, CSXT 5880 and 5894. Very nice-sounding locomotives.

[CSX2665]

@SpeakerPolice wat is the "645"????

[SpeakerPolice]

16-645E. The diesel engine type inside the trailing locomotive, an EMD GP38-2.

[CSX2665]

@SpeakerPolice oo

[CSX2665]

@SpeakerPolice just wanted 2 b sure

[SpeakerPolice]

Anytime ;)

[CSX2665]

@SpeakerPolice dont wink @ me,it seems gay hahaha

[SpeakerPolice]

LOL my apologies xD

[CSX2665]

@SpeakerPolice lmbo

[FlyBikes089]

Almost, because I would wish see to CSX C30-7s! But, they is it U-Boats :P!

*Add favorite and 5 rating!!!!

[CSXRP]

Awesome catch Bryan. Those B36-7 units are dying out quickly. That is a repainted Ex. Seabord System unit.

[DL2045]

lol, everyone trying to beat the train across

[DL2045]

nice horn

[ChessieStorm]

B30-7 #5554 was running through there in April '08 attached to the "Spirit of Tampa" #4688

[DJGENEX71]

That is an oldie B36-7 unit there! Haven't seen one of those in a while! And a GP38-2 also!

Really getting a workout there 4 sure! 5*****

[MNRRConductor2006]

B36-7s still lurk about in and around Oak Point (Bronx, NY) from time to time, though they largely have been displaced by GP38-2s and GP40-2s, and for the road outside of local service, SD40-2s

[Ohiorailfan]

Sweet

[goreds03]

nice catch dude 5 stars and a favortie :)

[andybowe]

a B36-7 a rare loco these days, those used to be very common back in the 1980's early to mid 90's but with new clean air regs, and things like that those 2 locos should be preserved in a working railroad Museum someday, whats the grade north and south through Folkston Ga, and what radio frequencies are used?

[CSXTransportation]

160.590 is the road frequency.

[BobWeaver112]

There is a grade coming into Folkston northbound, which is why you'll see videos on here of trains making a slow start if they have been sitting a stop signal.

[HamiltonOhrailz]

Great find here man. These units wont last for long with all the GEVo's

[nikosjk1]

Catching A776 with a B-boat is becoming harder and harder so great catch! The one time i managed to catch it in Folkston it had a AC44 leading, go figure:P

[docol33]

The newer CSX color scheme...blue/gold is called "YN3"

[BRIANamtrak]

DAM, nice ass shot! and power!

[crazyrailfan]

Awesome Horn and vid Bry. are you ever going to come to Amarillo to railfan the transcon with me? LOL 5* vid

[amtrakboy627]

Coolio!

[Squawk7600]

WOW, another great old Yellow Nose 2 (YN2) paint scheme on that lead unit!! Unit 2 is newer all-dark-blue with gold nose and logo, don't know if it has a "name". And I like the stormy evening, too-- AWESOME!!

[railmogul2]

nice!

[CoastStarlight11]

That is some dang old power on the point!!! freaking long train!!! nice catch! 5 stars!!!

[hoolg]

Great find with the B units. That's not something you see every day especially in yourstomping grounds.

[andrew7493]

Awesome Vid! great power, he was haulin!
