B&LE, great sounding Nathan P5 horns, with rear end helpers. September-12-1989...

[SCL7500]

Great footage, that horn is amazing!

[IAISrailfanner]

How common do trains run on these tracks?

[est86leo]

He didn't even whistle over the crossing! Somebody could of legally sued and won, had they been hit and survived; had they not, their family would of won. 

[iAmDeathSpank]

This horn sounds so strange, AND WHY WOULD YOU NOT WANT TO WATCH A TRAIN GO BY? Stupid dumbasses that try to skip them

[K5H13760]

This is why there are so many quiet zones here, let's go back to the 1st generation P5.

Dumbass driver at :22 seconds. Nice horn action! :)

[1jackdk]

@trinityct YUP! Stupid ass went right around the gates...

[trinityct]

@1jackdk Well, you know...Evolution! :D

[dwkcamman611]

Nice!

[railfankasey]

[kevilized]

Very cool, thankyou for sharing!

[dumbbuff]

GOD I LOVE IT! keep trying to find more old BLE stuff. Any idea where this was?

[legsbluetrain]

Idiot ignoring the gates.

I visited the B&LE back in 1982. At the time they were running F's. But the coal mines & trains I guess were on vacation/shut down, so even though I photographed the F's, I can't recall seeing any B&LE trains running. Who owns the B&LE. Did U.S Steel dump it like the EJ&E by selling it to the CN?

[1jackdk]

@strobx1 CN has own the B&LE for several years now, and have basically ran it into the ground, as they did the DM&IR.

[strobx1]

@1jackdk. Well that figures. Boxcar Frank shows a very long train pulled by one EJ&E SD40-2. Here in Michigan, the CN is pulling very long trains with as little power as possible. It is almost like they empty the yard with one train.

[nhlives]

makes me wish we still had a steel industry in this effin country.

[iusetano]

Great seeing the older videos. Excellent. 2 thumbs up.

[bigshow196]

where those P3s or early P5s? Nice vids btw. I think i remember you from railpictures's video site. love all the old train vids you post here too

[1jackdk]

@bigshow196 probably P5's, and yes, I do have a good many on railpicture's videos. But I got tired of them rejecting stuff. Stuff that they reject, is some top videos, and old stuff people are dying to see. Glad you enjoy the vids. Take care, Jack...

[boberttrain831]

Great video and horn, Jack! Thumbs up and a favorite!

[cuzinitr]

Nice one Jack, thank's for saving and posting!  Rich

[ekoslosky]

[maineboy24]
