@sidomitch

he is talking about the cars at 3:15

[csxsd70ace]

Great video but nothing uglier than a CN or CP locomotive! I just took apart two HO scale CN units and I am repainting them to CSX colors. Great video though.

[CN8840]

@csxsd70ace - Oh c'mon now! Red/black/white is an amazing combination! Although I'll admit, CP's newer color schemes (solid red) are a bit boring.  I miss their snoot-nose SD40-2's.

[royalflush5000]

@CN8840 Yeah, besides, Red and Black are our school colors!

[choirboyfromhell1]

The days before "three step requests" before going in between cars.

[wctrain]

wheres walkly yards? do you mean walker yards

[sidomitch]

Walkley Yards is in south-end of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. It was used by CN. and CPR. at the time.

@sidomitch

who uses it Walkley yard now? or is it abandoned?

[sidomitch]

@jpgbrookes It has Ottawa Central Railway using it. Pretty small-time traffic.

[doubleslottedflaps]

the hard hats protect you from falling airplane parts ! at least thats what they told us when i worked on the track gang for Illinois Central Gulf !

[Ivecofan09]

Is cn not so serious with saftey? @ 2.12 those mean are wearing hard hats but no saftey vests!

[enr3870]

Safety vests were not required by railroads until fairly recently. If you went up to those guys in 1992 and told them they had to wear a safety vest, they'd just laugh at you.

[Ivecofan09]

fair enough! lol i was 6years old in 92 so i wouldnt bother asking em to put one on since that i wouldnt have a clue about it then.

[trevorandy]

now that was the day, i was able to ride in a couple of sd 40s in the past

[burnuts007]

great video i grew up in nepean seeing cn run everyday... now maybe a couple shorties a day... thanks for posting..

[WISE873]

WHAT KIND OF HORN IS ON THAT TRAIN

[sidomitch]

I don't know.. There are guys who could tell you it's a Nathan, or a 3-chime Leslie, whatever.. I'm not an expert on what CN was using on those EMD locomotives in 1992. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[JumpinJurassicPark]

how do you even start one of these locomotives is there a safety key or something?

[sidomitch]

I'm not sure how its done. I think the engineer can take the throttle handle off the control panel, when he's off the engine, and it's running.

[DiesIraePL]

@sidomitch No, the reverser is the "key". There are also some other things, but I won't say because you never know...

[PunkyBear36]

Probably a K3H/K3L.

[hoggerdave]

What year is this and where are you from?

[sidomitch]

Filmed in fall of '92. I'm in Ottawa Ontario.
