One Hell Of A Catch, CSX R410 With an " AC36000 " Lash-up!

The Noise in the beginning before the train is a B17 " Flying Fortress " flying over.

Shown here 6 AC6000's are powering CSX's R410 today!! Which equals up to 36,000 Horsepower for todays R410.. All AC6000's shown here have come back out of storage from WayCross, Georgia. Since the Es44Dc's which are heavily common out here were starting to fail, espically the 5200 series, the big brutes of CSX were able to return from a sleep! Once again, the CSX AC6000's return to do a job that GEVO's cant!

Awesome catch. Even in Utah, Wyoming, and Nebraska, I have not heard of or seen UP putting this many AC6000's on one train.

Thank You. Its rare enough to see 2 of these brutes on a train nowadays, but to see 6 and all on the same train at once is just quite nice to see such a sudden change in power. Sometimes it pays to be in the right spot, at the right time.

699 is the only derated CW60AC, rest are all 6000 h.p.! nice video man!

Sweet! Thanks For the info and Thanks Again

Only one or two of these units where actually running. These units have been in storage at Cumberland, Selkirk, and Waycross waiting to be fitted with the 6000hp GEVO engine. One AC6000CW can pull an entire 120+ car train all by itself depending on the number of loads and emptys. CSX AC6000CWs are also more powerful than Union Pacifics because they weigh more and have advanced adhesion software. CSX 432,000LBS to Union Pacific 420,000LBS. The UP AC6000CWs are also notorious slippers.

@xxxDeath9572xxx these beasts are loud too, when i saw a pair of um go by i was just a little too close and wah, that high pitched whine is deafining

[pengapop12]

@xxxDeath9572xxx because cn has alot more other engines, cn has barely any gevos compared to the us roads

[pengapop12]

@CSXno601 well i definatly dont mind, i mean at first i didnt really know what to think, i like the K5HL horns but not the engines, bring back the good power i say

[xxxDeath9572xxx]

Yes there is been talk of that. While on the subject, CSx was talking of making these brutes into ES60DC's and de-generating the power. From what I have known, it hasnt happened. But Yes, glad that CSX only de-rated one of these beauties as opposed to the entire class.

[cchan006]

There was talk of CSX derating the prime movers by computer to 4400 hp. Whether that's the case or not, only the real AC6000's got dual exhaust stacks AND the huge radiators like the ones here, so you can call this an AC36000 consist!
