It's High Definition in 1978. Just joking. This is an awesome video. I wish DD35's and DD40's were still running freight on a regular bases today. The only DDA40X still running is UP #6936 for excursions only or maybe a freight photo runby maybe. But times change today. SD70ACe's, Dash 9's, ES44's, Etc. Also wish PRR's J1a Texas, M1A, M1B's, J #611, N&W #1218 and other's were still running today. But every once in a while an old Diesel or Freight Car might appear today on certain trains.
