Too Little, Too Late, (Starting an Alco on the Fly)

[BNSF5608]

Love how the start bell is the same as a GE Dash 9 or GEVO now.

Are you SURE that wasn't an old steamer behind you! ;)

Apparently a while back one of the diesels broke down on a UP freight in Cheyenne, and instead of using a diesel helper on the rear, they sent out 3985 (the Challenger), and the diesel engineer didn't realize the difference until they arrived at their destination. He must have been asleep in the cab not to notice the chuffing and smoke.

Amazing video. Thumbs up!

Did the train made it over the summit?

Buy my video, "Montreal's Machine's, Last Stand of the 251", and you will see!......;)

[Bus7777]

Canadian Pacific Failway. :-P JK Alco's FTW!

[traingp7]

This train should be headed by new "CADILACS" not old shit box maintenance neglected alco's. From the look of this video those alco's look like they are heading for the scrap yard.

[kmothersil]

I think both the new CADILACS and ALCOS should lead that train.

You cannot ignore the alarm bell forever. LOL.

Amazing show! Keep on posting this great footage from the townships!

[gp40mc]

Awesome video. I've never seen anything like that before.

[paramusenglewood]

Very cool.

[railnjpama]

I've caught a few ALCO/MLW units, U-boats, and other oddball engines in the Eastern Townships of Québec.  Great place to vacation and railfan, too.
