We watch 6 Chessie units in the lead, and a 4 unit helper roar past with a loaded coal train just west of Meyersdale, PA. With all that power, she will have no problem getting the loads over the west slope of SandPatch grade. The trestle in the fall away shot was the Western Maryland Rwy, and is now a bike trail. Where I'm standing is now a 4 lane highway overpass. So this entire area has now changed. Thanks for watching, Jackmp294...

  • What is the engine next to the last Chessie unit with the yellow and red logo? I know I've seen it before but can't make it out.

  • @carriersignal That was a Seaboard Systems SD50. Thanks for watching...

  • The bridge in the background as the helpers go away...is that apart of the old Western Maryland? Same as the track that crosses this line over Keystone bridge?

  • @Seaboard1321 Yes it is. Its a bike trail now. Thanks for watching...

  • Okay, who doesn't know their power? The 4th; 5th; and 6th Units on the head-end look more like GP40-2's to me.

  • @KB1NWR No. Just the 4th! Its a GP40-2. The 5th and 6th units are SD50's, as are the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. Pause it at each unit, and you will see. Glad to see you know your power. LOL Thanks for watching. Jackmp294...
