Great Helpers and OLS on NS 36A...TURN IT UP!!!

**WATCH LOUD AND IN HIGH QUALITY!**
7/18/08: Norfolk Southern eastbound Conway, PA to Wilmington, DE manifest 36A makes its daily trek east over the West Slope of the Alleghenies and roars upgrade on the No. 2 Track at Cassandra PA, behind OLS C40-9W #9251, and ES40DC (GEVO) #7553. Pushing 36A up the hill on the rear are SD40-2's #'s 3374/3354. The sound of the 6,000 HP of 2 SD40-2's leaning in to the back of a 100+ car long manifest up a 1.15% grade is unumatched, and the 3374/3354 pair are by far one of the greatest pairs of helpers I've ever seen/heard on the mountain. With that said...TURN UP THE VOLUME!!

An error in your info., you indicated 4

SD40-2's, I just saw 2, then I noticed the

HP didn't add up.

Dennis thanks for letting me know, fixed the typo and now we're good to go, wouldn't wanna mislead anybody. The only thing better than a 6,000 HP 2 pack is a 12,000 HP 4 pack!

"The sound of the 6,000 HP of 2 SD40-2's leaning in to the back of a 100+ car long manifest up a 1.15% grade is unumatched, " What about 4 SD40-2's?

That's rare!

Because, look at 0:20 and 0:35 - 0:46!

I surprised that NS 36A had a special deliver huge steel grider into large flatcars! WOW!

But, actually sorry I don't caught them NS 36A at last Dec 2008

A-I-C not exactly misleading, typos happen!

One of my favorite pics shows 3 UP DDA40X's with a UP fast-40 leading. Heavy head-end power sets are awesome.
