@Mmach1 Yeah, it's an SD40-2. From the single light on the rear and the extra long shade on the cab on the conductor's side (left side), it's a ex-CP Rail or CN locomotive.
Nice vid! I have seen one of those units before when my dad and I were outside of my neighborhood near the tracks. Although it wasn't the leading engine, it was an awsome sight!
Sweet!! I wish KCS would send one of these new Units through The Norfolk Southern Piedmont Division here in NC and he'll lead something on a Wednesday.
Just curious, is this the branchline that runs through Wharton, El Campo and so on to Victoria?

@gaycowboy31. The horn on the sd70ace is a k5lla using a low pitched 1L bell in place of the 5 bell
