what type of engine were those pushers? At first htey look like SD40s but then they look more like an SD50/60. Maybe SD40-3s?

SD40-3

[NewEnglandRailfan79]

Cool! First time I've ever seen them! Thanks!

[iusetano]

Your welcome. This is the first place I've seen them.

[NS6677]

Its all right, they are new to the mountain, since the SD40-2s are getting old, these are their replacements, they are ok, but not very loud!

[NS6677]

Actually their SD40Es, not dash 3s

[iusetano]

You are correct. I new that, just don't know why I wrote what I did. I must have been distracted.

Yep there goes a couple of Norfolk Southerns finest Thorobreds pulling that train, 5*
