how is it ugly it look s awsome

[MrWill1985]

How long does it take to build a Locomotive? I know the one video shot on March 3, 2008 of #125. The ugliest locomotive Metro North has ever owned.

@MrWill1985

Depends on the production line and how it moves. For example, at any given time there are 20 locomotives in various states of completion on the erecting floor at G.E.'s plant in Erie, and they finish 2-4 units per day.

I was fortunate to get a cab ride in this very locomotive on a MNRR branch line. It isn't a bad engine at all from an operational POV.

[WetDirtProductions]

dosent look that bad to me, I meen the colours are horid, and the way it sticks out at the back is kinda stupid, other than that it looks ok. It looks like a cheap imitation of an EMD. Its kinda like a cheap chinese imitation toy too, looks ok, but breaks after the first week. hahahah

[huettmr]

the designers of this so called locomotive must have been drunk when they conceived this hunk of garbage

[1998ChevroletS10]

it really doesnt look bad

[nhlives]

yeah it does. but you're entitled to your opinion.

[shadowknight227]

why do you hate it?

[CPRRailfan]

why does everyone hate them so much? is it built really shitty and have poor reliability or something?

[BigBoii72]

i 2nd that if there's anything that's ugly on the Mn line its the Freakin Railcars(or Red's as i like to call them) that have been runnin for too damn long

[clm64]

iv ran a few of these engines there a good light haul engines i say the reason they bought it was b/c there better on fuel then most other engines IDK way you ppl are fighting over it being junk really you can't call one junk till you have drove it and see how it stacks up to the others

[AlcoRailFan]

i really dont know what one tho but they replaced it with the same number with another train, this one i think

[medic4ever2]

well.. one did cath fire... thats what this 1 is for

[nhlives]

which one caught fire, and where and when? I heard about the 130 blowing its crank sharft THROUGH the carbody - but didn't hear about a fire!

[medic4ever2]

right on the nail, but its alway fun to see them running in the middle of the night, but its not at the top of my list

[nhlives]

indeed - I'm not gonna loose one wink of sleep to see one of these shitboxes unless its on fire......

[medic4ever2]

no they do not sit in the dust they all run at night throught the metro north

[nhlives]

yes, they run all night, on test trains - failing all the way.....

[motox221]

hey nhlives aren't you an over weight middle aged guy that obviously has no life cause you spend your time making fun of... thats right... trains?!!!! who are you to talk smack on appearance when you are the way you are?

[nhlives]

lets see:

Overweight: Yup.

Middle Aged: Not even close.

No Life: I wish - I'm too busy to do half the stuff I want.

Spend my life making fun of trains: Well, I am a railfan, which means I like trains (generalization), but yes I will make fun of the ugly ones. While you ask "who I am" lets remind you - YOU watched my video(s). Hey if you don't like it - don't watch it - and furthermore - if you disagree instead of leaving a childish comment - give me a rebuttal.

[dumbbuff]

WHOA. Easy there skippy.

[dumbbuff]

about 70% of railfans are overweight and midedle aged. You are one hell of a dick for only 22 years old

[dumbbuff]

yeah, ok etnies

[dumbbuff]

long island sucks

[dumbbuff]

what's your problem kid?

[trainman932]

look dumbass, if you hate it so much then stop making videos of it!

[nhlives]

well - let's see - no. but thank you for sharing your opinion. if you don't like my videos - please - either stop watching my videos, or kill yourself, either way - I don't care. Even though something is ugly doesn't mean you stop shooting pix/vid of it - you must document history - no matter how ugly it is.

[lasher9811]
