@JgordonAmtrak1 Anytime!

[TezJ16]

Well nah bro I thought that the one we caught today was the one that led this one but its a diff one. Idk how I knew that NS 3440 had a RS3L but it was a lucky guess!

[JgordonAmtrak1]

lol i thought it was too, yea lucky man lol but good

[CSX8663]

@JgordonAmtrak1 hey Moe was the engineer wasnt he and when hes in an P42 he's the conductor blowing the horn cuz i know P42's have hornm buttons on each side

[JgordonAmtrak1]

Yep he only blows when hes engineer

[CSX8663]

@JgordonAmtrak1 oh

[amtrak706]

Awesome!

[JgordonAmtrak1]

Thanks!

[MrSd40jk]

Nice catch :).

[JgordonAmtrak1]

Thanks! It was

[JgordonAmtrak1]

Yep was cool to see! Thanks they were moving

[EMD645E]

Those engines didn't get the nickname "The Fast 40's" for nothing.

[JgordonAmtrak1]

lol my buddy told me they got up the 75 with that thing!

[xXDJIndeedXx]

Damn! This was so awesome i had to watch it a second time! Whats with all the Amtrak trains having all these engines leading? He came flying around that curve, you don't know how sweet it is to have a sd40-2 leading an Amtrak train. 10/5 and fav man!!

[JgordonAmtrak1]

Thanks man, the engine was messed up so they had to get a NS unit to toat it on lol i was glad to see that, should have chased it, next time i will

[rsideballa75]

Dang! Mr. Moe had that thing Rockin' N Rollin'! LOL NICE!

[JgordonAmtrak1]

Thanks bro, Hell yea lol i was glad to see that

[mstsme]

u caught that on my B-day

[JgordonAmtrak1]

thanks happy late bday lol

[NYCTAFreak500]

I like this. Check out mines, it different and subcribe, alright?

[NYCTAFreak500]

That was nice horn ever. But i remembered that I saw UP 1989 Pulled P42 also in August 2008 video . The p42 # 17 broke down at that time.

[AmtrakSurfliner768]

It's huge and it's horn crazy!! Nice video, I've never seen NS on AMTK before!!

[JgordonAmtrak1]

Thanks man it was!~ Only rare , but they will use a ns engine if they need to, plus on the ns line here

[GenesisSanctuary]

Amazing catch and sick S3L action!

[JgordonAmtrak1]

Thanks! This was great

[Conraildan]

That was a cool catch! Too bad the engineer had too be so goofy with the horn, it was still music to my ears though! thanks for sharing!

[JgordonAmtrak1]

Thats my friend, he always gives horn salutes I dont think its goofy, he blows for me good all the time Thanks!

[DJGENEX71]

You know I just thought something, I bet that was weird for Moe on that horn with the SD40-2 having a lever action horn and not the 'normal' Amtrak button to push! LOL!

[JgordonAmtrak1]

Lol I bet it was, the seating, the engine and all lol, No P42cab or controls, but cool lol

[DJGENEX71]

@JgordonAmtrak1 Yep had to run it 'old school' style!!! No computers!

[JgordonAmtrak1]

Maybe next time they will have something better than this waiting to help lol, M-2, ACe, hate to say but D9 lol or GEVO

[FireCaptE9]

LOl Wow! As my Dad used to say, "They was sure layin' the coal to that un!" Good catch

[JgordonAmtrak1]

lol haha, thanks man

[NS2589]

nice catch Jeff!! definitely faster than that SD40-2 is used to I bet haha.

[JgordonAmtrak1]

Thanks lol yep for sure, especially when they get from around all of these curves on the other side of town

[pwalpar]

Bet he felt differant in that locomotive LOL

[JgordonAmtrak1]

lol Im sure he did! very diff engine from the GE P42 lol

[up199519981982198319]

u know Amtrak did this with UP 1989

[JgordonAmtrak1]

THink i saw it

[kanjo007]

Just to clarify, did Big Moe get control of that NS SD40, or did he just let one of the NS guys know to do a horn salute?

[JgordonAmtrak1]

No the Amtrak engineers was driving, He was at the throttle & another Amtrak conductor Ive met before was conductor until they switched at the station

[DJGENEX71]

He put you a decent show on there bro! Awesome catch and NEW paint on the SD40-2!!! At least they gave them a nice one to use! Thumbs up!

[JgordonAmtrak1]

Thanks bro, yep Moe was nice on that horn, he said that old bastard got up to 75mph lol not bad. Yep at least it was not ragedy

[AMTK24]

Aw, come on now. Don't tell me "my" engine is broken now...

[JgordonAmtrak1]

Maybe they fixed it in New Orleans

[rufec12]

Wow!! Awesome!! I think that train looks sweet with that SD40-2 leading with Big Moe too!!!!! When in doubt use EMD!!!! Added to my favorites!!! Wonderful catch bro!!!!!

[JgordonAmtrak1]

THanks man, Someone gave me heads up, I heard the horn I was like woaahh lol then it came, its rare and cool wish it was a M-2 or GEVO,thanks bro

[BamaRailfan]

Awesome catch Jeff!

[JgordonAmtrak1]

Thanks!

[TNT314159]

Holy shit dude!

[JgordonAmtrak1]

lol I know man

[CSXRP]

Excellent RS3L not a common site but EMDs to the rescue. The amtrak crews seem to be the best.

[JgordonAmtrak1]

Thanks! rare man, emds are the best I guess lol Yep the cool crew!

[amtrk128]

HELL OF A CATCH, man 24 and 140 both must have failed, GREAT S3L and BIG MOE!!!!

[JgordonAmtrak1]

Thanks man, I was thinking thy could have switched the engines if able, but I afree with you, one awesome catch to wait for in the heat lol

[TezJ16]

D@@@@m! Big Moe was lovin that S3L!!

[JgordonAmtrak1]

THanks bro lol yep he was, man I wish the had a beast leading like ACe or M-2

[SOU5111]

Very neat video & catch!

[JgordonAmtrak1]

Thanks alot bud

[gp40mc]

Awesome video!

[JgordonAmtrak1]

Thank u for commenting

[guitars14]

Sweet catch!

[JgordonAmtrak1]

Thanks!

[CSXKid5016]

There didnt appear to be any damage on 24 so it probably had MAJOR mechanical issues.

[CarNutandTrainNut2]

@CSXKid5016

Like a turbo failure.

[JgordonAmtrak1]

Probably so!! They were late so that could be the reason

[JgordonAmtrak1]

I talked to my bud, he said something about water, and motor locked up I forgot the rest

[DJGENEX71]

@JgordonAmtrak1 Dang GE's always blowing up and locking up!

[JgordonAmtrak1]

yepp lolo

[NahuntaSubFoamer5115]

Oh man, maybe something like this will happen with the Silver Service!

Great video!

[JgordonAmtrak1]

Yep just let those P42s go out lol would be cool to see a csx on amtrak, thanks
