Three Night Trains - 09/30/06 - Calling it a Day!

Combination video of Amtrak 822 arriving at Ardmore, OK; Southbound manifest caught at FM1173 and the BNSF Fort Worth Sub in Krum, TX; and the I SAGOKC 30 (Roadrailer) with an unknown C40-9W NS engine providing the power (observation documented at MP 355.6 (or Bailey Boswell Rd/Lake Wanda, Saginaw, TX)). If you listen carefully in the first segment (while Amtrak 822 is arriving), you can hear the horn of a southbound rock train on the farthest east yard siding, powered by two GP60M's in warbonnet colors and a SD40-2 in H1 color scheme.

I liked the effect of the dualing horns when Amtrak 822 entered Ardmore Amtrak Station.  That southbound GP60M had an interesting horn; was not able to make out what type it had.

Bob, do you get the feeling that the comment section does not appear to be working?

Richard

[BobWeaver112]

how so?

[rwhitenight]

I suspect there was a gliche on the web site, as the comments were not appearing underneath the video itself. But, that problem seems to be worked out, as they appeared today.

the microphone on the camera really warps the true tone of the horns. I couldnt tell either. might want to use a better mic or camera next time...
