BNSF SD70ACe at Cass Lake

SD70ACe taking off after a fresh crew takes the controls. First SD70ACe I've seen in person, and only SD70ACe I've seen on the Lakes Sub. The SD70ACe is my favorite modern engine.

Forgive me if this has been asked before, but what are Clay Boswell Loads, unless it was a typo.

Thanks!

@BoogyWoogyCreep Clay Boswell is a coal fired power plant in Cohasset, MN.

Can I ask what camcorder you used? The sound quality is about the best I've ever heard shy of a "professional" video (like Pentrex, etc.).

[casslakechris]

This is actually a piece of crap point and shoot Kodak camera.

Why do most trains start off slow and then throttle up, why not just pin it and go?

[casslakechris]

Slack action can cause the couplers between the cars to break... which is horrible news for the crews.

[ProTwoAm]

You've got to be kidding. What's the camera's name/model number? I want one!

Just saw a SD70ACe leading a coal train last night in west Michigan

@casslakechris wow and 2 SD75M's trailing rare catch

The 16-710G3C-T2 engine in the newer SD70s is without question the best sounding locomotive engine ever on the rails. The deep rumble and turbo whinning at idle is just amazing.

@Altecss I know many people may have answered your question, but these days, at CSX, we'll get fired for breaking a knuckle as "bad" train handling.

that loco makes the greatest sound ever.
