OMG! A WC SD45-2 #7551 and #7551 is the number of a SP locomotive.

[rockguitarist946]

the low resolution makes this video seem like it's much older than it is, like it!

[UnionPacificBNSF]

BNSF and NS are the only 2 class 1 lines who still use high hood locomotives. The others have either been retired or had their noses chopped.

Miss SD-9s used to see them alot.

[verastaki]

And whatever happened to SD40-2s. Havent seen those in a while, mostly Dash 9s or GP38-2s

[verastaki]

That was freekn AWSOME!!!!!! I have never seen any real video like this, your so close, so different from other clips your not afraid of getting right up to these units, I know you can zoom in but this is just the best clip I've ever seen. I've never seen a trailer train before (semi trailers) on rail trucks? Wow. Ain't seen them types here in the Co, Wy, Nebr, borders. 5 stars!!!!!!! Great job!!!!
