HiDef: 8 Locomotives and an Operation Lifesaver GP38-2 Working at Hershey

Chocolate town USA, yes, where there truely is an aroma of chocolate in the air, but today, and even bigger attraction other than cocoa, or Hershey Park: A gathering of rare locomotives for an awesome show of shifting. All nine have an ex-Conrail history... and you will see:

NS 19G setting off loads / picking up empties with:

NS D8-40CW 8420
NS D8-40CW 8315
NS GP38-2 5329
NS GP38-2 5277 "CRQ"
CSX GP15-1 1554 "CRQ"
NS GP38-2 5312
NS SD45-2 1705
NS SD45-2 1703

And H2A, the famed "Hershey Shifter", moving tankers at the main plant with NS GP38-2 5669, in nice clean Operation Lifesaver paint.

"So the 1554 is a CSX, huh?" --- You darn well bet it is, one of the remaining two CSX GP15-1's in Conrail paint!

Enjoy all this pure epicness.

Thanks, I love all your videos too. Hopefully someday I can come down there.

it's kind of sad that you just caught 10% of Conrail painted power on NS. Nice video though!

[Barricade360]

[jmream1]

oh my god!! I fucking love the sound of that cherry diesel engine at 7:25! :)

Great video! On the one other video I left 2 comments telling you which were the old numbers of the Ex. Conrails painted over.

Ozzy,

I looked at a few of your vids the other night. Your sound is really good and I appreciate your tripod work.

I really appreciated this clip, which reminds me of something. The two SD45s here are former EL power, and I was watching Emery Gulash's film of that.

Here's the deal....Emery didn't have a zoom. He picked a focal length and stuck with it. You have some points where your framing is just wonderful and you should just leave the zoom alone and let the sound do the work.

were some of those engines destined for a Graveyard run?

[celica825]

i dont know why my comment came out like that. what i meant was why is ns 1705's horn blue? was it ex-conrail?
