My top 5 favorite high hoods,,,,,No.5. Southern GP30s and 35s on the auto parts train "Spark Plug" as it climbs out of the OHIO river valley south of Cincinnati in the 1970s. No. 4. Ex NW now CNW high hood C628s working the UP in *ichigan. No. 3. Southern High hood SD24s on the SRCO/COSR(Southern-Columbus run through). No. 2. N&W GP30s with the bell mounted in the high nose! I caught a few of these back when. AND,,,,the No. 1! Back in 1978 CR was power short(again), so they leased several ex-Frisco U25Bs. These were the former GE demonstrator high hoods! I saw two of these running around.

The fact that they preferred long hood forward, makes me wonder what the hell they were expecting to hit on the railroad

There was four GP38-2's that were owned by Ferromex with high hoods.Their numbers were 2004,2005,2006,and 2007. There is hardly any footage of them and it's from a long time ago at that,so their whereabouts and how they were present has remained unknown.

High hoods are good for tourist trains, we have one in Utah, HVRR.

To my knowledge there’s 44 active running High Hoods left on Norfolk southern

Fun video and catchy tune. I also believe the SR ordered heir locos long hood forward because if they were running short hood forward it was easier the the engineer to sight the signals, as he'd (basically) be on the wrong side of the loco - the signals being set up for the engineer sighting from the right hand side, or something like that....

@openeyes-411 Жыл бұрын

Agreed Phil - iirc, this was also said about the Alco C420's on the LIRR too, otherwise visibility becomes abysmal running LHF from the "wrong" side...

@@openeyes-411 Signals could be on either side of the track, depending on the territory of the railroad. That was the job of the other crewman, whether it was a head end brakeman, fireman, or conductor (depending on the era).

I recently saw a NS high hood #5011 in Sterling Heights Michigan at the old Conrail yard off of 17 Mile Rd west of Van Dyke Ave pretty cool to see one in the wild!

There’s still high hoods that run on CSAO here in southern New Jersey. Always a cool sight to see

Another fun fact, Crab Orchard & Egyptian RR in Illinois was the last steam operated common carrier in the USA. They were still serving customers with their steam loco up into the mid to late 80's until they sold the locomotive. They also had a wig wag signal too, not sure if its still there now but I saw it on google earth street view. Cheers Rob

Yep, I remember. Didn't know about the wig-wag though.

@freebrickproductions Жыл бұрын

@@Trains21 Sadly the wigwag has been taken out of service and is due to be preserved (from what I understand) at Pioneer's headquarters in Minnesota. Don't think it's been removed yet, but it's no longer operational. IIRC, it was the last wigwag in Illinois.

@@freebrickproductions I take it that the wigwag in Galena on CN’s IC is no longer there, then?

@@JohnGeorgeBauerBuis No sadly. IIRC, that was replaced years ago.

Just finding your site on you tube. Where does SP's EMD SD9's fit in this type era? There is 1 still switching in Albany OR. There is a video of it on you tube from 2020 or so. I used to watch one switch nightly at Weyerhaeuser in Cottage Grove OR.

Great video Aaron! Would have even better had we been able to get over to crab orchard in person and shot some footage of the mine and tracks etc. In due time I'm sure we will man.
