Sorry about the spelling. I never look up. I type backwards. Plus i have some difficulties from yrs in the militayr and I am a handicaped vet and my son is Army infantry and was wounded around four weeks ago give or take. He now too can move a little slwoer I guess GOD BLESS ya
GOD bless you for putting these old school staight up hard core vids up. u and ijack'd got it going on brother/. Feel free to look at our web site free and for all to enjoy... toledoOHindependetrailfan @ photobucket I gave away to HO scale box cars saturday at fostoria and two EMDSD70 aces to a working class hero poor family of union family two weeks ago. We try to help poor, working class, lower class and militayr and or gay people into our great hobby no longer a yuppie thing
I never did get the non Dynamic brake deal with RFP? Mabey it is the a budget thing> I just saw one out at CSX last week, it was sitting by the new "brick". it is a real RFP engine too bad it does not have some fade and shows the RFP through the CSX LOL. Must be tuff to slkow down that over head chessie rail traffic with no dynamic brakes? Scarry though to have only air brakes. RFP was bridge traffic for chessie? My CSX book says they lost the big yards at patomic for relastate deal?
Notice all the nice 5700 series cabs with cushion underframe that the ACL took from SAL after the merger. They gave SAL their old "Orange Crates" in return. They were like riding a boxcar. SAL was a good RR to work for. Can't say the same for ACL. They were a bunch of real pricks.
Thanks for the posting. These locomotives were obviously built before 1979 when the FRA enacted their noise regulations. Great EMD 645E turbo sound, not like today's engines which have very little stack noise and plenty of traction motor whine.

This guy from northern climes always finds it weird to see locomotives without snowplows on their pilots! Lots of cool TOFC. Thanks for posting this.

Is that the Van Dorn St underpass and the light at Eisenhower in the background? I see the trash truck coming off of what looks like Eisenhower.

RF&P was a bridge-line. It forwarded traffic between the Seaboard, Chessie System and Conrail. Sometimes RF&P cabooses would show up.

Those look like GP40-2s without dynamic brakes.
Classic locomotives, great camera work.
