That's some nice action there. I've only been to Ashdown a couple of times.

@TezJ16 You can see Arkansas Southern there too! Quaint little town, good RR action

Great Video! Just how close were you??

[unkonshus]

@MrSw9guy_I'll admit when I'm wrong, there was no zoom. Just 2 weeks ago, there was a derailment in this exact location.

Is this normal for them to have 7 units with what sounded like only 4-5 units online?

[gaycowboy31]

cool footage I have seen that old CN unit before I got a shot of it up St Aubins Vermont on the New England Central RR sitting in the engine terminal

Great video! I like the sound of the track heard under the weight of the train. Nice up close work!

Nice video! Actually, there were only 17,000 HP represented, since there were GP38s, GP35Ms, and GP40s. The 35Ms and 38s have 2000 HP, while the GP40s are 3000 HP. But my goodness, that was a big Ashdown Turn! Wonder what they took back to Hugo?
