Rariety on the NS Delmarva Secondary

[ACSCadillac]

Awww it's a little baby engine.

[adelgado75]

Damn, why so much shaking?

[conrail19900]

@adelgado75 It was cold and i was standing in theback of a pickup. Not really the most balance place to stand.

[mistersnapon]

You need a tripod.....BAD!!!

[johnjackstif]

does amtrak share that line with NS?

[conrail19900]

@johnjackstif yes NS gave amtrak permission to use the Delmarva so they could transport amfleets to their servicing facility in Bear, DE and in turn NS gets permission to use the Northeast Corridor to run freight.

Neat Amtrak switcher, this is in no way a GP15 though it's a Genset

[conrail19900]

@metraF40PH163 yeah a Genset GP15 not an EMD.

[metraF40PH163]

@conrail19900 So was it built off of an old GP15 frame?

[conrail19900]

@metraF40PH163 No its a completely different engine from MPI classified as a GP15 or GP15D whatever preffered.

[metraF40PH163]

@metraF40PH163 Hum, that's odd. Usually they build gensets off of old frames of GP's & SD's

Amtrak run shop moves between Davis Interlocking and Bear Shops on average 5 days a week.

[MrGerbilBrain]

hey, I have seen one of these too, it was number 574 :)

[trume12]

That horn sounds out of tune

[Railfan19960]

i remember seeing a pair of Amtrak GP15s when i was going home from Newark, i went to Pizza Hut to get some food, i was lucky to see them when i made a pit stop. i caught them in Bear Delaware, sucked i never got them on camera, they were goin 50mph

[suzukiman8408]

thats common at that area, they use them to run tie cars and passanger cars from the NEC to delpro yard where the shop is. you can see that almost twice daily working delpro.

[A10PANG]

Ugly lookin thing. lol

[hhp8]

omg, i think i saw that exact same engine, i was stopped on the rt. 72 crossing

[Bellwestern80]

What kind of unit is that?

[conrail19900]

GP15

[gumball469]

@conrail19900 Thats a GG20B, a Genset. Not a GP15....nice video!

[CSX8663]

@gumball469 its a ex GP15

[CSX8663]

@gumball469 or it is a GP15D

[gumball469]

@CSX8663 Could be that also .. there are alot of different Genset models.

[1998ChevroletS10]

@conrail19900 it dont look like a gp15

[ghostengineer]

GP 15 built (rebuilt) by Motive Power Inc. I get to run them in Sunnyside on the drill job, and they are a pretty good engine. NOt bad for something that has a cat engine in it :)

[hhp8]

this has a cat engine in it, and what is the drill job

[CSXRP]

The horn sounds more out of tuned than when I heard it Friday the 13th.

[conrail19900]

was it the same unit?

[CSXRP]

Yes.
