I LIEK GEVOZ

[nsgevo89]

Very nice video! Those GEVOs look great in the Iowa Interstate paint. Someone told me that these came from a cancelled CSXT order. Is this true?

[MattBNSF1991]

nope, IAIS ordered them on their own.

[TommyBNSF]

@nsgevo89 IAIS 512 was from a cancelled CSX order, but all others were built new for IAIS.

[NJT4172]

Wow, amazing horn, thanks!

[UPTurner]

Awesome Nick!!

[NicTrain35]

Thanks, Turner!

[maineboy1979]

"GEVO" is a portmanteau of the words "GE" and "Evolution".

[1petealmquist1]

and GE stands for general electric.

[Railhead1956]

Sweet video

[NicTrain35]

Thanks, Peter!

[westpoint64]

The GEVOs really look great.

Hiya Nick!

Man, are these beautiful units! Is IAIS stealing the lightning stripe motif from the long-departed New York Central? LOL! That paint job is gorgeous -- but what is up with that horn?! LOL!! I don't think I've ever heard anything quite like that before! Think you could talk them into a nice K5LA (or even better, a K5H!)? :o)

Maybe I *should* have missed my flight last night so I could have seen them in person!

Nice job, as always!

Dave

[NicTrain35]

Hey Dave! Thank you so much!

I was a little surprised by the lightning stripe. They must have been impressed by the NYC. LOL! :-) I've also never heard a horn quite like that one. If anything, I would have expected a usual GEVO horn (like the ones that BNSF have). A K5H would work perfectly! LOL! :-)

Again, it was a pleasure meeting you this week! Glad your flight went well and that you got home at a good time.

Talk to you soon!

Nick

[Railfan77]

What a suprise to have flashing ditchlights on those new GEVOs.

[NicTrain35]

Yeah, I had a feeling that those were going to be installed.

[akatrain]

they are great good job

[NicTrain35]

Thanks, Sean!

[TommyBNSF]

NICE!!! I wish I could've seen them, maybe I will one day.

[NicTrain35]

Thanks, Tommy! We went to Minooka in hopes of catching him again, but we found out that he got held up in Rockdale. He's probably sitting there now, unless he moved during the night.

[MikeDelic14]

Nice! they look badass!

[NicTrain35]

Thanks, Mike!

[GCFX3072]

Nice!!I'v never seen a IAIS in my life.Whose tripod was it in the video

[NicTrain35]

Thanks! Hope that you're able to see one soon. That my friend Saul's tripod.

[heelblocks]

Awesome Nick!! That horn sounded greaat!

[NicTrain35]

Thanks, Andrew!

[trainutjob]

awsome.

[NicTrain35]

Thanks, Danny!

[FULLERTONwarbonnet]

god those girls look hot!

[crazyrailfan]

I agree, but I miss the stripes

[NicTrain35]

I'll definitely miss the stripes. Hopefully, it turns out to be a mix (sometimes a GEVO on the point and sometimes a Geep on the point, but those GEVO's are pretty powerful).

[NicTrain35]

Yep, they look better than what I thought they were going to look like.
