  • Whats with the covered hopper at the end of the passenger train?

  • Its a refer that has been converted to a tool car. They take this with incase of mechanical problems. You will see it in my other WM clip. Thanks for watching. Jackmp294

  • theres a BL-2 working somewhere around elkins, wv.

  • That's the one. This train was heading to Elkins, and so was the passenger extra. Thanks for looking. Jackmp294

  • Was something special going on? Interesting to see these older units running.

  • It was a weekend photographers special heading out of Elkins later in the morning. I have another clip in here with a running meet with the trains passing each other. Thanks for looking. Jack...

  • Whoa, that's REALLY cool! I didn't know cool old stuff like that was still in service in the US. Living in Kalifornia with the draconian pollution laws SUCKS! Thank for posting!

  • Didn't the tapered profile of the long hood on BL1s & 2s help the crew get better rear visibility for switching?

  • @bigdan4712 theres also a MONON BL-@ operating in central KY at the KRM

  • Nice looking locos.Great footage.

  • No doubt that's the oldest loco that's ever pulled those CSX hoppers.

  • Yeah, well when EMD manufactured the GP-7 & the GP-9, it's designer thought of it as such an ugly diesel that no railroad fleet would want to purchase it. He thought wrong

  • really really neat video thanks

  • good looking FA and F unit. However....entirely too slow

  • Marland! Maryland, still enjoy your videos Jack

  • @CSX trackworker You're right, but only for a short while. Afterwards, EMD overruled with the GP7, & then the GP9.
