    Many of these locomotives have not operated for years. This 2428 for example, I saw a story about it, this model was designed exclusively for CN. They have already been taken out of service and these survived in this courtyard. This video is very good. Congratulations.

    They still use some of these series engines out in BC. As an engineer, I can say I didn’t look forward to having to drive these older units, underpowered for the massive trains they build now and the dynamic brakes on them were basically useless. It was a long trip when you had one of these as the leader. Biggest bonus though for a CN unit is they all had a microwave

    My dad was a conductor at CN and I remember getting to ride around the yard on his lap in one of these types of engines and in a caboose ( this was the 80’s so they still used them and safety rules were more lax) It’s a super cool memory of mine. They also had a phone on the engine and when he’d call us from the road he’d always blow the train whistle for us

      Back in the mid 70s, when I was a technician with CN Telecommunications, I frequently rode freights in Northern Ontario. While usually in the engine, I sometimes rode in the caboose. On one occasion, I had an overnight trip from Foleyet to Capreol and tried sleeping on a bench in the caboose. I was occasionally tossed off by the motion!

  • @James_Knott
    @James_Knott 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

    I used to be a technician for CN Telecommunications and back in the mid 70s frequently rode freights when I worked in Northern Ontario. I haven't seen the inside of a locomotive since then.
    BTW, back in those days, when I hopped on or off a train, it was usually moving slowly, as the engineers didn't want to stop the train if they didn't have to.
    There was one trip where I was taking pictures, while standing under the headlight and the train was traveling at speed. I still have those slides I took.

      @@benjlar1902 evidently you know not of what you speak because there are several locomotives built as far back as 1965 that are still in service to this day without issue provided that regular manufacturer specified maintenance is performed.
      The EMD SD40-2 and EMD F40PH are two prime examples of old power still in use after many years.
      Hell, there are two axle scale test cars still around today that were built as far back as 1930.... Age means nothing in terms of equipment. It is how well and frequently that it is kept up with that makes the difference. Things made long ago were actually built and manufactured to last. Anymore, things are designed and engineered to fail after a certain amount of use to bring the consumer coming back to buy the "next more advanced model" every so many years.
      The older tends to be the better and more reliable actually.

It was a good catch! The same day more BCOL "Cowls" were going to LTEX for "Scrap!" Even more the next few months! I believe more Dash 8 variants, including "Cowls" are stored in Homewood, IL!

    IIRC, a lot of the older GE's had trouble with their turbochargers, resulting in engine fires. An engine fire in the previous generation of GE loco, the C30-7, was a major contributing factor to the Lac-Megantic rail disaster.

    I'm not big into trainspotting, more just a passive hobby with railways and alike. But one thing I will say you have to take your hat off to with spotters is them documenting trains when they were active. That CN 2407 loco at 5:55 got filmed by some guy here whilst hauling: th-cam.com/video/O6O9DSYQWj0/w-d-xo.html

    These graveyards are private property well technically it could be CNs property and trespassing isnt advised because if caught its at least a $200 fine . your lucky the company or yard was closed because normally youd see employes working . the log cars seem brand new and wonder why their put there . this place i think all they do is strip out the engines and electronics then i think whats left is sent somewhere else to be chopped up torching would take way to long and youd need a lot of dumpsters to haul away the metal and the fuel tanks are considered hazardous waste the wheels can be removed and reused same with the cupplers . theres a big company in montreal that does the same thing to cp and cn engines all they do is salvage the engine parts the rest is sent to aim scrap metal .
