Wow! What a great day being at Galesburg! I always want to go there. See some awesome old locomotives that’s still in service. Great video!

Thank you! Yeah, Galesburg is just nuts. I think it definitely would be worth the trip, there's always amazing stuff there.

great vid. Edit: got to the part where the driver gave a horn salute. Glad to see at least some drivers have a sense of humour.

I spend A LOT of time at west Colton and they are rapidly building manifests with stacks and junk. I love that you respect the executive MAC. By far my favorite. The luck of the Irish! Great catches as always!!!

I grew up in socal. Bonnet's and SP with the pink nose. Never any green. Great catch with the NS heritage. Uncle pete seems to be the only other company that really gives them a run for their money in that department. I just don't get how there isn't one big blue Conrail or a seaboard running around. Keep that merch link up. Absolutely love the vids

58 is a TEBC6 made from an SD9 and they are basically traction motors with a cab and used to always be used on hump sets.

H1 is my favorite paint scheme. I like 965s paint the most, and IMO, it should be the standard scheme. The green and orange go pretty well together!

they are the only SD40-2Bs left on the roster because they were the only SD40-2Bs created. They are not the same thing as the GE B30-7As

@Southern_Plains_Railfan Жыл бұрын

Nah, BNSF had a small fleet of SD40-2B's in it's early days. They were all ex-BN.

@devernepersonal3636 Жыл бұрын

@@Southern_Plains_Railfan Yes all those 3. they were made out of a wreck. The others were the 4000s and 4100s which were B30-7As. they had a small fleet of 600 series GP9Bs and the had the 2249 the only Gp38-2B made also out of a wreck. During BNSF merger of course they got the ATSF 300 series GP60Bs.

SPR, it’s me, I have been here since you had 400 subs. I loved that you railfanned in OKC and where I did like the Norman station. I have a question, did you get any other photos of the CPKC patch, or if there was another patched loco.

@Southern_Plains_Railfan Жыл бұрын

Hey Tramtrak, thanks for sticking around so long! No, that one photo of the CPKC patch is all I have seen, and I haven't seen any other patched engines. It's not really my photo, its a screenshot from a railcam; hence the low quality.

I sometimes chase trains outside of the town I live in. There is this one crossing that goes down about 2 minutes before the train gets there. And I have seen so many people just go around the crossing. It doesn’t matter how far the train is, still not smart

@kevinhom8812 Жыл бұрын

I know this seems exciting to you. I worked as a brakeman, conductor and engineer for 22 years. The guys and gals get treated poorly. The company has no respect for private or family life. The execs make all the money. In short BNSF is a terrible organization to work for. Sorry to spill on you but my point of you is much different.
