The Horn is way out of tune. The Dash 9 horns don't sound like that.

@GEES44DC Okay your right. Its not common for a C44-9W to have a leslie, cn has K3LA's on theres. Its a real treat to hear a leslie on a C44-9W. Watch my video called "CN Train Spotting: C44-9W ON FIRE" (yes i know its an exhaust fire) btw it has a real healthy leslie.
-
@DieselSmoke92 Pretty sure it's not that common. I rarely ever hear one of our Dash 9's with a horn like that.
-
@GEES44DC That was a Leslie. It was out of tune but its common on a C44-9W to have a Leslie. They usualy have P3's and K3LA's.
-
@rolls283 Yeah really.

Another nice capture, nothing like the sound of a pair of (or more in some cases) of SD70M-2's more than half throttle, when they really start sounding like the powerhouses that they are. 2 of these locomotives can haul the tonnage which required 4-6 older ones. The very few locomotives, if any I've seen in my area have been GP38's, GP18's...and even the "antique" GP9.

That is one long train. Nice vid.
-
(Most) Dash 9 locomotives use the Nathan K3H. Depending on what company. Like Norfolk Southern for example, their C40-9W use mostly K5LA's.
-
For most movements it is tonnage and not 'carloads' tht count. A 100 car empty train weighs may come in around 3000-3500 tons or so. No problem for 2 units.

That was our car, it was a good 20 feet from the tracks, but the zoom makes it look closer.

Wow! Love it. :-) I know cabooses are so outmoded these days but I miss them nonetheless. My Mom grew up in a little town outside of Appomattox, VA with the Belt Line (Norfolk Southern) right outside her front porch. It was great!
It occurs to me that with the rising gas prices, freight trains just might make a big comeback! I hope so.

Glad you liked it! Yeah, trains are making a big comback on this line. We went from 2 trains a day to 3 to 6 here recently. One freight car can haul what three and a half trucks can.
