**ADD "&fmt=18" AT THE END OF THE ABOVE WEB LINK TO VIEW IN HIGH QUALITY!**

2/18/09: The greatest words ever heard spoken from the operator of ALTO Tower thus far have been: "NS 3375, couple ahead of the 65J, and you'll be going west up 2 Track." Well, thats what was said at around 10am on Wed Feb 18th, 2009, as the triple-headed road power was not enough to haul the loaded trash train 65J over the Alleghenies that day, so the 3375 and the 3352 were the helpers for the job. This is a perfect example of the "unwritten rule" of the East Slope of the Pittsburgh Line over Horseshoe Curve and the Alleghenies: "The East Slope...where EVERYTHING is in 8!"

65J Road Power: SD40-2's 3383/3389 / C40-9W 8908 Helper Ahead: SD40-2's 3375/3352

  • You can have your EMDs ! I will take the sound of a GE ANY DAY !

  • @gringo4x4do Sounds like you and me have got a deal!

  • Now that's the way they sounded when I was a kid!

  • @DarthDemaric Those must have been some great times, too bad they won't sound like that by the time I have a kid that can listen to the railroad! Oh well, times have to change at some point.

  • I think I would have to disagree with Gringo4x4do. GE's are to quiet anymore. Because of the 4 stroke diesels, they sound like they are not working very hard. Even in notch 8. The EMD 645's are a 2 stroke diesel, making them wrap out faster in full throttle. And there is just something about those 2 stroke diesels with the turbos screaming that sends chills down my spine. To me that is just raw, unadulterated horsepower. Now don't get me wrong! I love the sound of a very throaty GE. Cheers!

  • GE's sound like shit, and that is final 

  • Listen to that howl!!!!!!!

  • @AliceInChains243 Not even the tracks, where I lived at, exist anymore. They were taken up well over 10 years ago.

  • notched-8 SD-40-2 are to me like the Supremes' Hit of the 60's! I HEAR A SYMPHONY!

  • EMD Rules xD!
