Cassandra, PA 10/19/08. ExCR/NS SD40-2 3347 and NS 3362 lead SD80MAC 7209 and 7206. NS SD40-2 3427, 3338, 3345 and 3373 shove on the rear. I let the shot run long at the end to listen to those 645s grinding away uphill.

  • @IIIJFRIII I agree, that would really be something!! The BB's were a sight to behold for sure! Those along with the Norfolk & Western Y6B's, another huge American behemoth all of its own. Happy days!

  • @formidable38 We will have to wait until im a billion air one day (hopefully) ! Then I will restore all the remaining BigBoys to working order and make new recocords with them, inluding the worlds longesy trains with atleast 5 BigBoys working on one load lol. Its a epic dream lets pray it happens.

  • @IIIJFRIII Gota say i highly doubt it. Bigboy' were an awsome engine but theres over 22'000 horsepower on that coal drag just to keep it moving at a steady 30 mph or thereabouts. The 2 SD80 MACS behind the front pair of helpers are also probably putting down well over 200 thousand pounds of tractive effort on the rail between them!!

  • I guess I'll have to come back east if I wanna see SD 40's cuz over here on the west coast, all you see are dash 9's and SD 70's and 80's. It's rather boring... :/

  • Wounder if a Big Boy could pull that all by if self.

  • How many coal cars? Nice 8pack Love those emd engines i could camp sleep relax in those benches haha.

  • that is the best 4-pack helper noise ever!

  • Well... EMD's are the best! I'm tired of these GE's engines... Long life to SD40-2's!

  • this video is one of my favorites of this line! i love those helpers

  • When my sub-woofer make the entire house shake it's good.
