4 CN GEs at Grade Crossing

[qwandiddy]

I like those Old School RR Signals.

The third unit looks like an EMD.

Wicked.

[JimboRailfan]

wow, great video! :D

zebra stripes and blue guy all on 1 train, what luck. i cant even manage 2 get a singe cn photo or video :(

[trainzandbridgez101]

Is the leading locomotive an ES44DC?

Nice video!

[icecardinal]

@trainzandbridgez101 I don't think so. Looks like a Dash 9 to me. I couldn't see the tell-tale "hump" on the radiator housing in the rear.

[beastyjizzle]

nice horn.

[nawrock]

nice video...love the blue devil in lashup...its ashame they wont be around much longer

[BNSFman08]

is there two Stephenson St. crossings in Freeport? anyways, nice vid!!!

[ic6071]

thanks! ope, only one.

[ic6071]

thanks! ope, only one.

[rolls283]

listen to that amazing P5!!!!!

[Linkdude678]

Sounds like a K5H but I dunno.. it probably is a Canadian-tuned P5.

[pennsyr1]

rolls283, I think what you're hearing is actually a Canadian-tuned K5. The only P5 horns that would be wandering around on CN would be affixed to former IC equipment.

[ATributeToBCRail]

true about P5's being on ex-IC units

that's actually a K3L/K3H (the standard for CN) in the clip and not a K5.

K5H's (the original Canadian-tuned ones) are only on BC Rail and Quebec Cartier Mining Railway units in Canada. You can hear the sound of a K5H in most of my clips if you want to compare.

[pennsyr1]

Thanks for the correction and extra info, ATributeToBCRail. The clip sounded richer than I would've expected from a 3-chime horn.

I've seen (and bookmarked) many of your clips, and they're pretty awesome!

[ATributeToBCRail]

thanks pennsyr1!

ya that's why you gotta love the rich sounding K series bells :D and ya it can sometimes be hard to discern if there are 3 or 5 notes in the horn's chord

[trainsmaniac2009]

U can see that the east side gate is halted a bit when it came down. I did that. I held the weights down so that it couldn't go down. HA! lol! ttyl!

[trainboi21]

nice CN train !

i like the video :)

[ic6071]

Thanks!

[imprezzed42296]

3rd unit is a CN 2400 Series Dash 8-40CW

[VespineVid2]

Do they not have the GE radiator "wings" or are my eyes just not making them out?

[GEES44DC]

3rd unit is a CN 2400 series Dash 8-40CM while the 4th is an IC Dash 8-40CW.

[VespineVid2]

Nice video. Correct me if I'm wrong though isn't the 3rd unit some kind of cowl bodied EMD?

[bryantfamily]

nice vid

[LenaVideos]

Awsome I like that old IC rental. What is that 3 unit called. It looks like a F45.

[trainzandbridgez101]

Either an EMD SD60F or a GE C40-8M. But, yes, they do have the same paint scheme as an F unit.

[dkc149]

great video

[ic6071]

Thanks!

[Hiei2k7]

Just Remember, CSX, that Freeport and the places that ic6071 films aren't close to the CSX/NS/former Conrail Lines in Illinois. Most of them are inner-city Chicago or downstate toward Quincy/St Louis/Springfield.

[CSX6000]

Nice clip. I liked the Lash-up. Especially that BLUE GE in CN paint. Is that a patch-job or a special scheme?

[ic6071]

Thanks! The blue GE was at one point a Conrail unit. Then, it was sold to LMX, and then CN got 10-15 from LMX, and had them sublettered for the IC.

[trains91]

good video 5 stars

[ic6071]

Thanks a lot!

[trains91]

no problem buddy
