Tower 55 :) famous question when u get to that tower from the dispatcher is usually ( whats your hours of service) then u know ur getting the shaft after a awesome trip!!!!!!!

[MrBingisser]

I purchased a Tower 55 UP ES44AC a couple of years ago and only run it about 1 hour in total. Last week I pulled it out of the box and put it on the rails as I noteced it is not moving. I pulled it appart and found out that the traction gears have split and turning on the shaft.. I'm very disapointed that this is happening on a Tower 55. Where can I get some new parts?

[leejax01]

Do you have a pic of the part? The newer Overland drives use some of the same components. I have heard of this problem before and you can also call Overland Products as they used to be T55.

what you say are SD60's are actually SD70's

[Magnumkevlar]

[Aero203]

I might want to go there sometime!

[LansingJct]

You should go there, it is one of the best places to railfan i think, you'll see a lot of action there.

[LocalRailfan]

Hey good quality, what kind of computer did you use for this? I use a iMac for my new videos and got a new HD camera but on youtube it looks bad so if you can could you tell me how you got yours to look like this?

[TexasPacific]

This is actually much more low-tech than my current videos. I used the movie setting of a digital camera to shoot this, because I didn't have anything better to use, and I used Windows XP to create it. I now use a HD camcorder and Windows Vista.

[LisaNova]

very cool-

[RonsTrainVideos]

Great video! Looks like a lot of hiways connect there, too!

[saxmanb777]

Yeah they pretty much rebuilt the intersection of I-30 and I-35W to connect right over Tower 55. Just finished about 6 or 8 years ago.
