It's been 18 months since the announcement of this series, and now it's finally here! This video can also be considered a celebration for 5,000 subscribers (Thank you all)!
In this first episode I talk about General Electric's Dash 8 model, mostly the B40-8, B40-8W, and C40-8W. Also in this video there is a short skit of a guy who thinks Amtrak and Santa Fe's wide cab units are the same models. I encourage you to go support and subscribe to his channel: / @triplec_2220

The dash 8s have been one of my favorite locomotives for both passenger and freight. My favorite paint scheme on a dash 8 was NS's whitestripe scheme.

@Zackman217 3 жыл бұрын

The Dash 8s were a favorite in my childhood. I do hope some of them will be sold to railway museum’s to remind fans like myself of the glory day of Dash 8s.

dash 8s are cool but my fave is the Conrail U23's

Several have, such as UP 1848 and NS 3563. BNSF 539 and CN 2150 were recent donations, and supposedly, BNSF 871 and 888 are being held for preservation together.

Awesome video I really love this series and I can’t wait to see what it brings I have really loved -8s for a while now and my favourite engines are standard cab C40-8s thank you for sharing!

@Jennifer-K5LA 3 ай бұрын

I've always believed the standard cab dash 8-40Cs were some of the most handsome looking locomotives ever designed. They had classic locomotive looks with a high tech futuristic next generation construction. They told the railroad community a change was coming, and soon a new king would be on the throne of locomotive dominance. I will always be a hard core EMD fan......but I always new the dash 8 was the beginning of the end for EMD supremacy.

As for CSX, 7300-7396 were sold to GECX. FCCA units 1033-1034 is ex-CSX. Pan Am Railways had 6 units, which is ex-CSX. Some set to be rebuilt as a C40-8WM. For UP, some C40-8Ws and C41-8Ws were sold to GECX. More here about C40-8: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/GE_Dash_8-40C

Enjoyed the video! The B40-8Ws still show up from time to time on the Thayer Sub (Springfield, MO to Memphis,TN ex-Frisco mainline) on BNSF trains. One Dash 7 you omitted at the beginning of the video was the C36-7 which are very cool locomotives in their own right. Also enjoyed the funny bits you added there to. For a minute there I thought you were going to pull a Masakox and yell UNSUBSCRIBE, lol! Can't wait for the GP60 video! Subscribed to your channel too!

Understandably, they are getting a little bit old. Railroads seem to prefer the newer and more efficient Evolution Series or even some of the older Dash 9's. Still, these C40-8W's have had a good long run, and to some they will be dearly missed.

I AM THINKING IT WAS EITHER 7400 OR 7401!! I WAS WORKING AT THE ARGENTINE DIESEL SHOP AT THE TIME ALL THIS STARTED HAPPENING! I ALSO GOT TO TAKE A ROAD TRIP ON THE 7410 WHEN IT WAS BRAND NEW!! WE MADE ONE STOP ON A DOWNHILL GRADE MAKING HEAVY USE OF THE DYNAMIC BRAKES! IT WAS QUITE IMPRESSIVE WITH THE DYNAMIC BRAKE GRID BLOWERS SCREAMING LIKE BANSHEES!! KEEP THEM ROLLING BROTHERS!! 👍👍

Cool video dude 😎👍 the General Electric dash 8 is the coolest locomotive they ever made 🙂👍 it's cool that Norfolk southern, Burlington northern, union pacific, LMX, southern pacific, Santa Fe, Amtrak and other railroads companies got all the different dash 8 locomotives 👍 it sucks that the B40-8W wasn't selling good 😔 but at least the train companies kept the locomotive 🙂👍 and that part with triple C's reactions was funny 😂😅😆🤣😹 and awesome 😎👍 and the Leslie RS3L air horn sounds cool 😀 but overall no matter what happens to these dash 8 locomotives they have served the railroad through the years well and they will be in the hearts of the ATSF and BNSF railways 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Hopefully atleast one of these wide cab units if spared for preservation and if so, returned to its original livery(whether it be a faded unit receiving their first fresh coat of warbonnet paint in a while, or being reverted back to Warbonnet livery).
