Listen to the turbo sounds coming from locomotive. I enjoy getting to "hear" the power as the turbos spool up; know what I mean? 4250HP from the 4cycle V16, impressive how advanced the diesels are these days, even though this locomotive in not exactly cutting edge technology anymore, it's still very impressive.

59 was seen stopped with the headlights out there at the tail end of the Yazoo Sub, just north of the yard tower. The video is compiled from a still image taken just seconds after the headlights came back on with two video segments and a second still used as a filler. A CN man can be seen walking next to the P42.

Thanks for sharing. I went to see the CON at Flora yesterday morning and end up with a Union Pacific auto train. I guess the CON was either late or I missed it. I know it leaves Yazoo city a 9:51am I got to Flora about 10:20am. Who knows...hehe good video. Keep up the good work.
