I like the merch when I get paired I’m going to buy a shirt

@@minnesotarailfan11 Thank you so much! I’m glad you like everything!

When I get some extra money I will buy some merch! :D

You forgot there is an SD70ACC.

@@Southern_Plains_Railfannothing beats seeing a southern belle or Santa Fe warbonnet

Thank you! That’s what I thought but I wasn’t 100% sure. Thanks for the confirmation.

Thanks! I didn't expect to get inside the cab either, lol. It was totally a spur of the moment thing. Hopefully something like that happens again!

No problem! Hope so as well for ya. I know it’s an experience to remember.

Yeah, I guess I could’ve. In the moment I really wasn’t sure what to do though, and I didn’t want to ask too much of the crew since they had already been very generous.

@Southern Plains Railfan good point, I mean I was like that to, when I was younger I was always scared to wave at the crew when they passed by 😂

You're very welcome, I'm glad you enjoy my content!

Thanks! Yeah, the crew of the Warbonnet Local said they used to invite people in the cab all the time. That's pretty cool, how were you able to get inside? Dang, sound's like the RR is pretty strict about trespassers where you are.

@@Southern_Plains_Railfan Yeah, I live on BNSF trackage and it’s very hit or miss on how friendly the crews are. As for that cab tour, they (and a bunch of other trains on the line) were being held up for some reason and after a little while, the conductor literally just opened the nose door and waved me and a younger friend of mine over and asked if we wanted to come inside. I would share the footage but I’m afraid of getting the crew fired, although I can’t say that I’ve had a confirmed sighting of either of them since (this was a little over a year ago). The unit had a very loud but nice K5LA at the time but unfortunately that horn was switched out afterwards. I’m not going to mention the road number publicly but it was not the one featured in this video (you saw NS 1823). The ACC’s do have a cab camera mounted on the back wall behind the engineer btw.

Agreed; you’re welcome!

Thank you so much! Oh man, you won’t be disappointed, Galesburg always has awesome stuff. I certainly will!

Thank you so much, I’m glad you enjoyed the video! You do the same!

Oh interesting, thank you.

You're very welcome, I'm glad you enjoyed the video and found it informative!

Interesting. That would be a K5LLA, wouldn’t it?

@@Southern_Plains_Railfan yes it would indeed.

@@jacobpfeifertrains19981823 is an SD70ACC, right?

Thank you very much!

@@Southern_Plains_Railfan No problem! Your videos are some of the best on KZfaq!

Thank you! How cool, it bet that was amazing!

Thank you! That’s cool, I think it’s neat how locomotives make their rounds like that.

Cool

681!

Thank you!

@@Southern_Plains_Railfan welcome anytime.

Relatively rare. There’s still several in active service, but they’re not common.

@@Southern_Plains_Railfan I figured. It was leading a train of what looked to be older EMD locomotives (it was too)

Thanks! That's cool, I hope you see one in real life sometime!

Pretty recently, a couple months ago I think. If I’m not mistaken it’s up in Topeka.

Thanks.

Hi

GECX isn’t buying the locomotives, because they were theirs to begin with. BNSF is just renting them from GE, and whenever an engines lease is up, GE takes them back.

@@Southern_Plains_Railfan but I still see BNSF reporting marks even tho GECX is writing over the BNSF mark. I honestly thought that GECX bought them back from BNSF and thanks for the information

They’d be fired immediately, as anyone who isn’t a railroad employee isn’t allowed on the locomotives, and it’s also trespassing if you’re a civilian on railroad property/equipment.

Ah, I see
