finally somebody caught one in action, thanks.. Oh, i hope that big CAT powered bastard tears those ge's appart

4001 is a rebuilt SD50. If ya can try some vids away from grade crossings. That obnoxious horn drowns out some of the engine sound.

Thanks I thought I read somewhere it was a GP.

And if I can get 4001 and 4000 2gether I will stay away from the grade crossings.

4000 just got released, so hopefully you get to catch em together. Any steep grades in that area? I'd like to hear em really working hard, but like I said earlier I'm glad to see what you got already. I do believe the GE's are isolated because I can't hear them at all.

For about eight miles, NS trains climb uphill (up to 1%at one point) from East Peoria to Crandall.

Great catch.. Congrats on having first video of these units on youtube.

Thanks Willie189. The 4001 is the only one I have as of now this D49D usually runs @ night so when I heard him call the TZPR dispatcher early in the morning to ask if he could move out of the yard track to pick up guests I new something was up and this was gonna be a good chase. I hope I get the chance to get both 4001 & 4000 together.
