I had literally just crossed over the tracks from where the truck was parked when I heard the horn for the far crossing. I just barely had time to get the camera on the tripod and couldn't believe my eyes. For the first time, I saw an SP unit (Either an AC4400CW or CW44-9) with my own eyes and the paint wasn't even faded. All this and the UP unit that was leading had a great horn.

this train brings fresh fruit from California to a plant just up the track from here that is owned by Price Chopper, It is the highest priority train on the line at any time.

  • damnnnn great catch. I LOVE REEFERS! where was this video taken, and where is this factory plant type thing you talked about in the info section?

  • the video was taken in Rotterdam New York. check the video location on that google map thing later if I can get it to work. As to the price chopper warehouse, you cant really get any closer without going under a bridge and the warehouse is more like a military base, barbed wire and everything.

  • Nice!! Actually the SP unit is PATCHED with UP's Roster numbers.

  • ah, I always thought that patched meant that the SP was painted over with UP

see all

  • @hoorider13 Another way to tell the difference on the engineer's side is to look at the vents behind the cab. AC4400s tend to have 2 that are the same height right next to each other, while Dash 9s have 2 that are the same height bracketing a shorter one.

  • Nice ex-SP AC4400! The number (6700 series) indicates an AC4400. A C44-9W would be numbered in the 9500s and above.

  • Yes, like in a previous post this unit has been patched. It looks to be an AC4400. Nice vid.

  • I thought CSX locomotives took over the train.
