That leading unit would have been a good poker hand. We used to play boxcar poker in the class yard - many a conductor lost $ and a watch or two ! Each track pulled was a hand dealt and each conductor in the panelboard shack called 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or 5th car, etc, from the bottom and the car number was his hand. If a hand tied, the one with the fewest digits won....but cheating was not unknown. Boy, did we ever monitor those car #'s. You'd think we were clerks or something !
wow!! now thats what i call a colorful lash up!! thats awesome! i caught a Santa Fe B36 leading a CSX train in bound brook, nj- have a vid of it- great shot dude!!
Dude, this hased to be the BEST video you made yet!! That is a rare catch!! A Southern Pacific B36-7, Norfolk Southern SD40-2 and a Duluth Winnipeg and Pacific SD40. AWESOME!!
@moon47mars hey dude the DW&P is a GP30I if you look closely on the vid you see the logo says GP30I at :58- just incase you are looking for the loco in the future or something that way you wont go nuts looking for it lol just helpin out dude- i thought it was too theyre confusing sometimes lol
@Southerntreatment: No no non no no, it is definitely not a GP30, you cannot mistake a GP30 for anything else and DWP never had any anyways. Its a SD40 standard like moon47mars stated. The designation says GF30, the Canadians had their own funny loco designations.
@Southerntreatment - I know how it is, some of those locomotives out there look SOOO much the same it's not funny lol. It's not a GP30I. It shows GF-30f. That is the miodle of the engine insinde. And it's not a (GP) locomotive. GP has 2 trucks in the front and in the back. It is an (SD). Those have 3 trucks and the front and in the back. But thanks anyway budd.
Awesome catch!

7777 if you are superstitious is one of the luckiest numbers on the planet in terms of if you win it in classic slots you get a jackpot.
This is indeed a rare and lucky catch for you, literally.
The DWP power just adds to it!

Awesome Brian! I love B-Boats, getting one in SP paint leading had to be insanely rare, 7777 too! The units sound real nice working upgrade.
