NS Manifest with Surprise UP Unit!

[RailroadExpeditions]

Wish you got 212 2 weeks ago. Had a UP Lashup with a ACe Leaing a GEVO and a SD70M. Also 203 with a SD60, UP SD70M, and UP SD70ACe. Got it last weeks. It was cool!

[SpeakerPolice]

Sounds cool! How many weeks ago? x3

/@SpeakerPolice The 212 was on 12/27/11 an the 203 was on 12/31/11

[SpeakerPolice]

Ahhh :3

Nice catch! It's nice to see some Norfolk Southern footage from you.

I'll tell you, before 2008, CSX was my favorite railroad, but now I like Norfolk Southern the best. This is mostly because of paint schemes and road power. :)

[SpeakerPolice]

I do get out when I can. x3

CSX remains my favorite for now, just because of all their older power, including all those unmodified SD50s. :3

[RailWolf7306]

@SpeakerPolice But NS still has high-hood units. :D

Then again, CSX never really had any of those to start with, except for the few high-hood Chessie SD9s and such back then.

But yeah, sorry for bragging; but this is NOTHING compared to what I've seen all throughout last year! LOL Especially riding a BNSF Boy's and Girl's Club Special!

[SpeakerPolice]

That definitely comes across as bragging, mister.

[StarWarsTrains]

@SpeakerPolice Well, I'm not trying to be rude, or anything! =P

[SpeakerPolice]

Nah, it's no big deal x3

[StarWarsTrains]

LOL I see UP and former patched and unpatched SSW and SP units everyday as well as US Army and Ferromex units! (Beauty about being part of a military family and living in El Paso, Texas!)

Nice catch on that SD70ACe. The only railroad so far ive seen a SD70ACe is Norfolk Southern.

[SpeakerPolice]

I have seen more ACes on the UP than anything else. I live near a major CSX yard and visit nearly every week, but have still not seen a single CSX ACe. (Probably because they only have 20 of them!)

[trainmasta227]

@SpeakerPolice Yeah. Im about 20-30 Miles from the CSX Old Main Line.Seen a whole lotta Conrail but nothing else. No UP No CSX SD70ACe's No BNSF. It seems i have better luck with NS. NS Ive seen CP's (Latest Video on Channel) UP's BNSF's LMSX Ex.Conrails. Eco Units from PRLX and Brookeville. Maybe because im only 5 miles from the NS Line. But i saw one of the NS SD70ACe's up on the Pittsburgh Line. If you ever get the chance to take a trip up there do it. SD80MACS are really common.

[SpeakerPolice]

You had me at SD80MAC. 8D

[Bobofet241]

Awesome! You really should write a Book on Trains.

[SpeakerPolice]

Thank you! Maybe I will, one day...

[Bobofet241]

Two vids in one night,be still my heart. :P You have to love the Doppler Effect. I love it!

[SpeakerPolice]

It's great, isn't it? x3

[shadowknight227]

DAng! Well, it is the same old UP for me, but look at the shininess of that C40-8! Whew

[Jts6394]

Talk about a rare consist build

[SpeakerPolice]

That was pretty cool to see. :3
