BNSF #1743 Remote Control SD40-2

I shot this on my first day of vacation in Galesburg, Il. It is early evening as it Has taken me 16 hours to get there from Fayetteville, NC. I am feeling a little disoriented from the long drive. But this was a good stop. Not much to this video but this engine is labeled remote control. I couldn't tell if anybody was in the cab anyway.

@railman2015 But if there was no crew in the cab, how would they know that he was on the platform?

@Alwaystrains from the remote control panel they can still honk

@Alwaystrains Well, the unit probably blew it's horn for arriving at the nearby station platform!

Someone was in it! If it was remotely controlled, the yellow beacon on top would of been flashing!

Someone had to be in the cab. If the cab had nobody in it, then it wouldn't have honked the horn at you @1:07.
