I worked for Daimler Chrysler as a machine repairman/ machinist at the Kokomo, IN casting plant. We worked with some quite large machinery, but I'd love to see the some of the machining processes in action. I am impressed by the cleanliness of such a large facility! Loved the tour..thank you.

Love to be able to do a tour like this. Back in the 70s-80s, I was a member of the Navy Reserve, the center was across the highway from these shops. Saw them from the outside many times, but never inside. Quite interesting.

Deryk, that was a great tour. By "family day" is Norfolk Southern only allowing employees families to look around or are they open to the general public? I forgot how huge North American rail equipment is. This puts it back into perspective. Thanks for posting, looking forward to part 2.

The tour required a ticket to get into, and those tickets were only available to and from employees. I got that ticket from and employee who wasn't going to use it. I'm not sure if they ever open to the general public or not. But I know they don't have tours very often. Thanks for watching! And part 2 is now up! Deryk

the SD60s and the SD70s are very good looking units until some idiot starts makin alterations in the attempt to make it more user friendly. I have seen a lot of stuff lately that just looks off. The short hoods on the SD40-2s are missing the upper radii that gives them the strength to resist a slow speed collision. they just look cheap as hell!
