The title pretty much says it all. Two EJ&E SD38-2's (led by J-Ball 662) and an HLCX SD40M-2 (in an SD45 body) struggle to get their train up the hill in Joliet, Illinois. Is there any better sound than a J unit in full throttle?

  • Thanks very much for the comments, guys!

  • Why are some of your vids took in the car? Were you happening to drive through??

  • Usually, when it's really windy outside, I'll film from the car to eliminate most of that muffled wind sound.

  • Are those coal cars ?

  • @skullcrusher301 N/m i read your comment wrong. I thought you said they were geeps. Upon noticing tri-axle, I agree.

  • @skullcrusher301 Um...they look like SD-40's to me......

  • Wish we had power like that when I worked on the "J"

  • @skullcrusher301 - Agreed! I must not have looked close enough at them . Thanks for the correction.

  • @busrailfan Actually the first two units are sd38-2's and the EJ&E bought those new in the 1970s, so they are not cp sd40s.

  • Working at Fermilab in Batavia, I cross the old E. J. & E. tracks every day!

  • Very nice. Looks like those first two units were Ex-CP Rail SD40-2's ? Am I wrong?

  • Awesome video 5***** awesome diesel power sound!!!

  • Is that the state line coal train?
