  • Is this the same train that hit's the ground hard?

  • yes

  • @redsoxfan423 Maybe you can clarify something for me, I know NS got the HH units from The Southern, but why did the order them with HH's? I suppose you could put a steam generator there but they were used for freight.

  • @AlcoFan2010 N&W also had highhoods, although their most recent SD40-2s came with the low nose. Look for the SD40-2s in the 6000s that have not been redone by NS. As to why Southern bought the units with a high nose, I'm not sure. I read around on the internet, and the only thing I saw was to get through a union loophole about the front of the engine or something.

  • I saw a ex-sou SD40-2HH two years back on a local In Radford, VA. It too had the NS paint wearing off revealing the original Southern decal underneath
