NS #2724 Leads an UNBELIEVABLE ALL EMD LASHUP IN KELSO, WA!!!

Filmed August, 2008

As soon as you see this, you are going to wish you've seen such an epic lashup with no GEs in sight, FURX & BNSF SDs and road switchers in the lashup all behind a Norfolk Southern SD70M-2! You can't find lashups like that anymore at this time. This is a southbound BNSF Everett to Vancouver, WA manifest stopping at Kelso for the crew to pickup food from a Mexican restaurant nearby and NS #2724 is leading. And then got it highballing with it's Thoroughbred power and flashing ditchlights. It's always good to see 'The Future of Transportation' in Kelso, Washington.

Thanks!!

That is a great consist, not just for the NS SD70M-2, but also the FURX silver & green SD40-2, a pre dash-2 SD40 (6312) and the BNSF yard slug and its master. What an amazing catch. For the record though, there are no Geeps (GPs) there. GPs are 4-axle units. All these EMDs are SDs.

I'll have to change the description on that, thanks for reminding me on that.

Oh my gosh, HOW DID YOU FIND SUCH AN AWESOME LASHUP! the best thing i ever saw was an amtrack cascades being lead by a BNSF C44-9W.

Odd but nice sounding K5LLA to boot!

That 1812 6 axle switcher looks odd. Never seen these type of switchers operate in a rail yard. Instead they use them for normal operations but very rare.

[verastaki]

Thats what I havent seen since 2008. An incredible lashup like this. With SD units and odd looking 6 axle switchers. And whatever happend to SD40-2's my favorite motors.
