I was working in New Bern North Carolina contracted to Norfolk Southern. These locomotives were on their way to the port at Morehead City North Carolina, to be lifted onto ships. The flats came back through New Bern a week later, The Norfolk Southern bridge supervisor was worried the weight would be too much for the draw bridge in New Bern. This is the first I actually found out they were on their way to Bangladesh.
It's cool how the locomotives are placed on flatcars that hav quad axles! Normally just the standard double or pair axles will do for most flatcar loads. These cars had two quad axles sets one at each end of the car. 8 axles per car, even more than the locmotives themselves!

Suffice to say these are Progress Rail export locomotives coming from Muncie and going to an east coast port for waterborne transport. And now, some irony. I have a copy of the ConRail Final System Plan from 1975, a line by line description and expected outcome. In it the former Erie was all but acquired by the N&W from Marion west as an outlet for the original N&W from Columbus. Obviously that didn’t happen. So imagine a parallel universe where those export locomotives as well as much of the freight you saw coming east on the former Erie and turning south.
It’s quite possible they’re on Flat Cars because the Flat Car would be Rolled onto a Ship with Rails up in Canada and could be going Anywhere Around the World. 🌎
GE builds locomotives for heavy hauls and also builds for European markets- What your actually looking at. Locomotives that are European - they re heading to Europe.
Those are shipping containers that they can be put on a ship so it can get delivered to other countries i seen them a lot on the trains cars like the ones you have on your video and one time I have seen a coal train that was delivering coal
Those odd locomotives have a very high undercarriage and short top area. The Base is pretty much dead center! Very interesting! Not a U.S. locomotive for sure!
Yeah, Bangladesh and maybe they interchange with Indian railways somewhere, which is why they have knuckle couplers with buffers. Also they look like broad gauge, which is whey they are on flats. I was trying to remember if the railways in that part of the world, still use vacuum brakes, which is another reason they would be on flats.
Although it has been commented that these particular locos are bound for Bangladesh. There are numerous countries where narrow gauge is the standard such as Japan, New Zealand, Much of Australia ,Thailand ,Vietnam , Malaysia and South Africa. Plus many places in Europe also use narrow gauge for certain short lines
Looking for the coupler type that combined with the buffer, it's can be for India, Pakistan or Bangladesh. It's because they have inconsistent coupler type between wagons. Some still using buffer & chain coupler type from the British occupation & some using Janey coupler type because some locomotives are imported from the US & Canada (they just add a chain converter to the coupler to connect the locomotive to the wagons)
You are partly correct. The Bangladesh Railways consist of 1,258 miles (2,025 kms) of 3'3 3/8" metre gauge and 979 miles (1,575 kms) of 5'6" broad gauge. These locomotives look to be destined for the metre gauge system.
@therailroadtiespiker the ones i have seen in the plant going to Egypt are awesome looking, and the ones for India (i think been a few years since I worked there) where blue, red, and green. And the refurbish shopping had an old 1200 switcher getting all new traction motors, and some wiring redone should say cables. They were huge.
Here's the scoop... They're built by Progress Rail in Muncie and usually (not always) shipped to the Port of Morehead City here in NC for export. NS will bring down several of these a month from New Bern NC on NS train P90 or P97. The last outbound shipment left the Port about two weeks ago, headed to Mongolia. The PRSX reporting mark is a dead giveaway.

Can someoneplease answers me on how some of these double stacked rail cars work? I see them with two cars sharing the same set of trucks and they all have couplers on the trucks so I know that they can be uncompleted uncoupled. But just how it's done I can't wrap my head around.
There are double stack cars that are individual units that have axles and couplers at both ends. But there are also articulated sets of 3 or 5 cars that are permanently joined together with a single wheel set between two units. If articulated double stack sets need to be separated, that can only be done in the maintenance garages. But uncoupling sets from each other and individual double stacks is done with the Janney knuckle coupler at each end of a railcar or set of railcars. The knuckle that couples two railcars together is held closed with a pin that drops into a slot within the coupler assembly. In order to uncouple two railcars, that pin is connected with some chain links to a rod that can be accessed at the corner of the railcar. This rod is turned upwards, pulling the pin out of the knuckle, allowing two railcars to be separated from each other, usually at rail yards or industrial sidings. Hopefully this wall of text answers your questions.
They haul those locomotives to keep from putting any miles on them before they get to where they’re going to, and that way it don’t take away from their warranty on the locomotives, but their standard gauge locomotives, but that’s what a railroad friend of mine that works for the railroad told me That’s the reason why they haul them
@timmyfrierson2684 Sorry about that, but you and "railroad friend" you put in front of you to shield you are liars. These locomotives are BR BP-32, they run on broad gauge, which is 1676 mm, and need therefore to be tranported until they are in Bangladesh or India. That’s the reason why they haul them
I think they're US locomotives they have a US coupler. The rails sitting on flat cars seem to be in line with the rails below the train so I think they're US locomotives.
That is not a US-Coupler, it is some crap for rcpotrt locos. In addition, US railways do not use buffers. The Number of the locos is BP-32, made by PR for Bangladeshi Railways.
India and Bangladesh are transitioning - slowly - to the USA coupler system. Looking closely under the coupler, one can see a dangling link for the older link-and-pin system; the two bumpers (buffers) are easier to see. All new engines on the Indian subcontinent have this either/or coupler arrangement. Concerning gauge, at 18:17 the near shipping rail appears to be directly above the outer cap of the bearings of the flatcar wheels.
Those are most likely going to Mexico. Remember they're building a new "Panama" Canal down there, and this will mean enlarged Port facilities and freight handling capacity. They'll need locomotives to move cars around the yards for shipment. Those looked like Yard Dogs, with small fuel tanks and large air tanks. What does everyone else think?
Mexico is track is standard gauge. New standard gauge locomotives destined for U.S., Canada, and Mexico travel on their own wheels. These are on flat cars because they are not standard gauge and therefore cannot run on North American track.
The End-of-Train Device is not required to flash in clear weather during daylight hours. I believe the rule is they must flash from one hour before sunset until one hour after dawn, and when weather conditions are such that the silhouette of a standard box car is not clearly visible at a distance of 1/4 mile, IIRC.
