Great video! Once again, absolutely superb editing with this episode. I'm also particularly interested with the song choice being mostly MF DOOM, since I recently got into his music. I also never knew that FM was still being considered to make engines after the 60s.

Yup, still plenty of C40-8's rolling around up here on the former Pan Am. Sometimes the lashups on NS trains in Ayer MA get a bit odd when NS cant get an SD60E up here with ACSES PTC and they end up having to put one of the old Dash 8s on the front. Great and funny video! Also, 7489's horn sounds like ass

Railfans favorite Dash 8s known as c40-8

I wouldnt have called sd40s vets then , they are now and the irony of it they out lived the dash 8 's and cn tested 2 c32s in 1986

3:40 and 3:45; those dash 8’s: “no need to thank me”

I remember seeing these all the time when I was younger. Crazy that there’s only one standard cab unit left.

I legit don’t recall knowing if Conrail ever had standard C40s aside from the C39s, the more you learn I guess lol. W video as always!

I will be getting a HO scale version of the CSX C40-8 and it will be working on the CSX EK sub as mainline power by far my favorite desel of all time

The C40-8s didnt skip mewing march for sure

Very good do the SD40-2 but remember to include Crazy Eights However one of the Stealth Units 7587 was the last to carry the Stealth Gray YN1 Scheme but was Repainted to YN3 in 2012 and now remains at LTEX as 9036.

I never got to see any of those engines ever before!

Great video The C-40-8 was my favorite locomotive to operate on CSX when it was in the lead of the consist The old control stand, was a plus over the desktop control stand on the dash 8’s. Never had a problem with the throttle powering out the 16 cylinder prime mover. The locomotive would dig in and keep pulling. The handle on the K5LA whistle gave you the cadence equine to other engineers!

Wait Maine Central is still a railroad I did not know that that’s one of the original Eastern railroads besides the Boston and Maine

The csx c40-8s have something against school buses 💀

Didn't Southern Pacific test them out at Tehachapi (sp) and the road was impressed enough to buy them? Have heard it said that those Dash-8s were instrumental in getting GE in the top position in sales of railroad locomotives. I think the hood unit, late 1980s GEs are the best looking engines they made.

Oh that ge! Continuing the legacy of alco! 😂

Great Video! One of the best GE engines by far! Miss these units.

I don't really like to publicly nitpick but the Dash-8s didn't have the HDL engine. That was used for the AC6000. They still had the old FDL. Otherwise good video!

Thank you for these videos! I am amazed at just how much of a learning opportunity they are. I think it would be interesting to make a video about the most recent iteration of the SD40-3 "square cabs". Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.

LETS GO!

Been waiting on this one my favorite locomotive that turned me into a Railfan

Nice dude.

The Optimus joke earned my like

C40-8 is my favorite GE model by looks. And the K5LA is my favorite chime arrangement of all Nathan models. Thanks for putting together such a detailed history on the original Dash-8's!

Great video on this locomotive.

THANK YOU!!! I’ll help you do the SD60s

Great video. An interesting thing about 9280, it never actually had the standard PTC you find on the rest of CSX. 9280 is only equipped with ACSES PTC, which is used mainly on passenger railroads in the northeast, including the MBTA which Pan Am ran on a lot. Most of Pan Am's locomotives were equipped with it, including 7627. But, when it got repainted, the unit never actually got standard PTC, and it to this day only has ACSES, which is why you never see it leading outside New England. CSX today only has (to my knowledge) two widecab Dash 8s left active, which are on very short time now. Many of Pan Am's Dash 8s recently got sold to the new startup shortline Berkshire & Eastern and the remaining ones are still active on former Pan Am trackage that CSX still owns. 9280 has now rejoined the Pan Am units in New England and will probably stay there until more newer power arrives to replace them.

The Cube...

Good video!! Love them man

Interestingly, during the early days of CSXT, there was a faction of management unflatteringly referred to as the "Chessie Mafia" that opposed the initial purchase of these locomotives. The operations department had to go directly to then CSX CEO John W. Snow to get these units ordered.

Thank you very much!

This was a great video and very well edited

Yeeee The coolest locomotive with a new standard design with 4000 hp

CSX Dash-8 trying not to kiss another school bus (hard)

More engines of csx

It's here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Amazing video!

Great video

If you haven’t can you do B40-8 since I want see what B40-8’s csx had and got giving to pan am/ b&e

There rebuilding there c40-8s to yn3c rare guys

NICE!

Awesome video

W vid man

clean.

I like how most of this series has some sort PSR in it lol. But in all seriousness this series is good.

The eggshell express

Awesome Video!

Noice episode

w vid!!!!

You should talk about SD40-2’s next

Can I please be featured in your next Engines of CSX video?

5:33 *my brothers and sisters may be dead but I shall carry the Legacy for years to come no matter what comes my way and what stands in front of it BRING IT ON!!* *CSX 9280-*

2:38 BYE BYE 🗣️🗣️🗣️

Since the SD60s are coming up next, are we gonna look at all models from CSX? Standard cab, M and I

I like your videos I liked and sub to you😂

Can you do a video of the csx slugs

Used to love running these. They had crazy side lateral motion at 60 mph in idle but they were fun to run. Closest engines csx had to alco sounding. I like the video just get rid of the ghetto rap in the back 😂

Please let this be normal field trip

i love the sheer shitpost nature of this video, Please do more

Real solid work lad, but unnecessary to say but... What is it with the Dash 8-40C and school buses in accidents???

Will any be put in muesums?

B40-8 next please

Can you do a video on the super 7?

Very interesting video but I’m not sure what hitting school busses has to do with the reputation of the locomotive. Generally speaking, crossing accidents are not the fault of the train.

Next You should do the Sd40-3

What is that NS engine at 0:12?

Aren’t the dash 8's and 9's being reactivated? Also can you do the sd40-2?

SD40-2?
