This is an exciting video. I found my heart beating faster as the long-hood-forward SD40-2 headed it's train through familiar territory. A side benefit of this video is the time capsule view of the countryside - the houses - the cars - the businesses. This action footage brought me back in time. I hope other people who shot sequences like this will upload their footage onto YouTube so that the "VCR" era can be preserved.
@atsf93 I heard from a railfan that this line has been abandoned and soon will be lifted. I hope he is wrong cause like you it be nice to see trains on this line.
