watching that made me feel like I was back at work,worked at etr as brakeman and conductor(in the 80`s)

[@razvandobos9759]

Love those SW1500's. Great switcher.

[@shawnpowell5876]

AWESOME VIDEO MCL, switching is the BEST thing abt short line railroads! I could watch them all day. I live by a short line railroad and our backyard is butted up to the ballasting at the track and get to see 2 MP15AC's twice a day. They're my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE locomotives and on occasion I'll chase them to get pics and videos. I'm new to your channel and I'm viewing it from Delmar, Delaware.

Every day is a good day when there's switching involved. I'm sure these railroaders are paid well, must be nice. Video with narration was quite good and enjoyable.

Dimi Domo thank you!

Are the trucks on that SW1500 from another locomotive?

[@tomheringer2047]

Most SW1500's have the EMD Flexicoil trucks installed. This switcher had the lighter duty lower speed trucks installed that are a carry over from the SW1200. The SW1200RS was originally built with the Flexicoil trucks as well.

[@gatblau1]

Thanks, I guess that’s what threw me off. I’m used to seeing the flexicoil trucks on them. I see that the SW1000 had these slower speed trucks.

[@markrocovich2234]

The Elder family are the owners of this transfer line..I was a good friend of their daughter Nancy...

[@dannyholt105]

That was cool! Does she work in the family business now (or then)? Hope you two have remained friends and kept in touch. Cheers, Dan

[@markrocovich2234]

Danny Holt Nancy and I became acquainted thru the horse business..i had horses at Windsor Raceway and she worked for a trainer there...we had many good times...

[@GRBVideo]

Great video... please stand farther away from the crossing bells... they over power your video!

[@444mrjimmy]

[@25mfd]

[@terrygross7390]
