- On 6 October 1997 5 of the 8 C-630Ms were in operation along with two GP50s on trains #306 and #305. We see train #305 being assembled by GP18 4700 in Sydney. After #306's arrival we follow #305 from Sydney to Port Hawkesbury and then on to New Glasgow. As the sun sets at Trenton we see a pair of RS-18s in action pulling cars from Trenton Car Works and the power station.
Great catches man!!!
Captain Justice Thanks. It was fun watching the old warriors at work doing what they were built for!!!
No prob!
Nice catch! The horn on the ex-Burlington Northern Geep sounds like a Leslie S3K that's in slight need of a tuneup. Still, neat to hear as they're becoming less common.
ACLTony You have a better ear than I do!
Well, not necessarily. It's just that one of my favorite locomotive horns was the Leslie S4T, which was used on Amtrak's SDP40Fs and I heard very often when I was a teen. Although not exact, the horn on this unit is in the same "family" so I recognized the sound right away.
ACLTony Years of practice!!
Well, thanks. But if anyone wants to become more familiar with locomotive horns, on TH-cam just type in "Leslie locomotive horns, and Nathan locomotive horns. A lot of video clips of each of these brands will will pop up, including the S3K and S4T.
ACLTony Good advice. Cheers!
Or am I think the "Cartier"?
NewBoston Truck 1 Cartier had second-hand Alco built C-630s whereas CB&CNS had MLW built C-630Ms which were purchased from CN.
Nice to see loco's with names in Canada!
peter forden Unfortunately the more recent CB&CNS locos do not have names and the named locos have been retired.
David Othen that is sad, a Loco deserves a name even if it isnt a good one... a narrow guage railway running out of Stockholm nicknamed one of their loco's Hitler as it had an awesomely bad ride possibly Buttercup didnt do it !
peter forden May be Bucking Bronco!!
David Othen From what I gathered from the former driver, that would have been a compliment!!
Most or all of this line has been ripped up, correct? I believe the monster MLW's now work for the Western New York and Pennsylvania. Still love those Nathan K3L's though.
NewBoston Truck 1 No the line is still there and in fact there was a special train last week from Sydney to Port Hawkesbury with a car that had been taken to Sydney for repais. IIRC two of the C-630Ms were purchased for use in the US.
