Nick,

Very sweet job! We occationally get these GTW units out in Freeport as locals, but this is one of my favorite train vids I've seen for some reason. The GTW is one of my favorite roads to. In fact, just this past Sunday I purchased a GTW GP38 for HO scale. I currently have a GTW SD40 that has been featured in several of my vids. Anyway, keep up the fantastic work!

Thank you very much, Adam! Yours videos are very nice also, as are your pictures! It must be nice to have the GTW's on locals in Freeport. A GTW GP38 in HO would sure look nice. Thanks again and I'll definitely keep the videos coming!

For some reason when they stop for a red signal, or shut them off for an oncoming train, the engineers or conductors forget the headlight needs to be turned back on, like an automobile's headlights after parking for a few minutes.

Knucklehead forgot to turn on his headlight and no the ditch lights dont count....
