Well, I would be posting more vids, but my video camera broke, and the new one I got isn't compatible with my computer. I do however have a few vids from the other side. Do a search for "CN Ethanol Train at Railroad Crossing" and the first video is one that I took with my little digital camera, which takes decent video. It is of an ethanol train going the opposite way.
Yea, the IC SD70 horns are kind of creepy, especially at night! I've talked to some engineers that run that type of engine, and they said that the horn takes a long time to shut off after they release the horn lever.
Nice video. I've seen a couple others of yours from that spot and I love the background looking down the street in the old downtown there in some of them.
Thanks! Freeport usually gets 2 road freights and a local that goes out in th AM and comes back in the PM. I have however, seen as many as three additional trains in a day before.
No, look at the crossbuck. A Canadian crossbuck has just a red border all around the egde of crossbuck and no letters. A American crossbuck is spelled railroad crossing on the crossbuck with no color on edge of border of crossbuck.
you even lucky to have a 30 car train. in my town we have a short line (Woodstown & Swedsboro Shortline). they have 3 different locos. All former Central Line of NJ. usually they have about 0 to 10 cars
I love CN

I lived in Freeport back in the 70s when it
was IC Last Nov I went for a visit and sat for a couple hours but got no action. About how many trains a day do they run
thru there?

IC 1031 (the IC SD70 leading on this M337) has one of the scariest P5 horns I've heard in a long time... fantastic horn. Just fantastic.

That Nathan P5 is loud enough to raise the DEAD! lol That's gotta be the best sounding one on YouTube. 5 *s + favorited.
I live in Columbia, SC where we only get CSX and the occasional NS, but I'd love to get to see those IC locos.

A decent sized train, at 147 (or was it 148?) cars. Here in NZ most are around 30 to 40, although the odd one gets up to 70.
