  • I know: sectional track, clickety clack! A GP9 with a 567 EMD prime mover, and no turbo.

    The sound of the 50s

  • Nothing sounds better than an EMD 567 wound right up. 5 stars.

  • Best locomotive ever to roam North America.

  • @fordtaurus93 In those days, they were actually butt-to-butt. Lol.

  • this is what CSX looks like in 1981 look at them now in 2011

    I was born on October 02,1981 in Greenville, North Carolina

    I'm 29 now i was newborn back then.

  • this has a really good sound clip of the bell and great video.

  • Those people did what I did as a kid in the 80's. "WOW train!" then overwhelmed by the loud haunting industrial whine, and have to back away in awe.

  • I will be out in DC next week I may try to catch the MARC out to here for some train watching

  • @meccaturbo On GP9's and 7's the long nose was the standard forward end unless a road wanted otherwise.

  • What a beautiful sight listen to those wonder diesels

  • @fordtaurus93 They'd probably say, "Holy shit a talking train!"
