ATN Train M715 Smoking it up!

2/21/2011

I figured I am way overdue for a new video. Apologies for the delays.

On this day I caught the ATN M715 as it finished up it's last switching operation for the day. The old geeps really smoke it up as they work hard to pull the train from a stop, up grade. They also kick up a fair amount of dust as tyey pass on this rather windy day.

Sorry about the cars passing in the beginning. There really wasn't a good spot to set up on the other side of this crossing.

As always, hats off to this awesome crew!

Also, notice the wonderfully level track we have in this area. ;)

I am spoiled I know. LOL There is the locomotive featured in this video that frequents the area as well as another one nearby that is confined to a scrap yard for switching duties. Both have RS5T horns. The sound never gets old I must say. :)
