This isn’t a dream it’s a nightmare. Those locomotives are there to be scrapped

@@K.S.V_railway I could be wrong, but I think that NRE has idled this facility. I read an article about it a few years ago. Idk the current status now.

The Alco RSD1 is an exceptionally rare locomotive. It should be preserved! It started life on the Alaska Railroad before being sold to the TVA. Incredible!

Amazing to see all this old veteran motive power that once ruled the rails now in locomotive purgatory. Those two C&NW GP40's in original paint were cool. Beautiful place this is although sad too. Excellent video 👍🏻

I’m so glad that Minnesota Transfer endcab is still around. Hopefully someday it’ll get to a museum.

@WashingtonDistrictRailfan Ай бұрын

Pretty cool that an obscure road still has a surviving engine!

@ryanfrogz Ай бұрын

@@WashingtonDistrictRailfan ‘obscure’ is unfortunately an accurate assessment, but they were a BIG deal back in the day. It was jointly owned by nine of the major railroads in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area, and provided interchange service via a massive, centrally located yard.

@MrJuarez1 Ай бұрын

How come there is an ALOC there? Something that vintage around semi-modern locomotives sticks out more.

Do you railfan when you’re on tour with your band?

@armandoperez7967 Ай бұрын

If the economy was booming like it was in the early 2000s and before the war on coal, most of these locomotives would be rebuilt or at least turned into slugs. Some of them look horrible but others look like they could be rebuilt without much difficulty.
