Alrighty, time for a couple of Burlington engines. First one is a beautifully repainted Burlington SW7, and the other one is the recently reapainted BN #5383. We were right next to the horn when the switch engine came up. I have a U30C in HO scale, only that its in Chessie System paint. Enjoy.

  • did they buy that from BNSF?

  • They had that U30C for a long time, and they just repainted that, and the switcher.

  • This is a great video, that switcher looks awesome in the old Burlington Route colors. What is the engine trying to get started?

  • Thats a U30C that they just reapainted.

  • at 1:56 big old U30c or U-Boat

  • They call them U-boats, and that is a U30C.

  • they are in the process of building a small version of the IRM down here in Frisco Texas the muselm formally know as the Age of Steam in Dallas I only wish they would have live working track like this to run equiptment the switch will lead into an active BNSF mainline

  • Wonder if the 5 gallon bucket hanging off the air tank was original with the SW? Beautiful U30C.

  • bnsf should use that U30c as a heritage unit, that would be cool.

  • yep, it is a snoring alco!

  • I heard that the U30C actually went in for Engine Overhaul work at one of Union Pacific's Car shops too. Not sure about that, but I did hear the engine was overhauled.

  • Love the Big Green Machine. Nice video

  • in the background is that the snoring alco?

  • If you're talking about the one you can hear kind of throttling up every now and then starting at about :29, that's an RS3 that just kind of chugs every once in a while.

  • Nice videos, Just Loved the Q Switcher

  • o ok
