I remember back in the early 1990's when I would hear the Southern Pacific SD40 or SD45 units with their really loud growl going uphill over Donner Summit or Tehachapi Pass. Nowadays, it's mostly GE (neé Wabtec) ES44DC or ES44AC units with their very distinct "chugging" sound.
Those SD40-2s rumbled and roared, alright. And they were intimidating looking, too - like a dragster with the raked out wheel bogies and long platforms. Still see some of them in mainline service, but usually as trailing units. I once suggested to Norfolk Southern, that they should add some Conrail blue - and green, or something - to spiff up that dull paint scheme.
from 13:20, what an amazing beautiful shot! Whit the moon in the background... fantastically shot, how the train from a distance becomes bigger and nearer...
Thank you for this video. I can’t say I’ve ever seen a cream colored locomotive before. I also enjoy seeing the old Conrail blue paint locos every once in a while. Always enjoy your work. Thanks again.
I miss those blue SD40-2's with two white bars. I used to see them all the time when I used to live across from the locomotive bypass. Then the green and gray leaser units started showing up. 10 years I later, GE's Dash 9's started showing up. Now it's all you see these days is the wide cabs. I do like SD40-2's SD50&60's better than wide cabs. Even EMD's SD70Mac's and SD70ACe's are wide cabs now. I like Spartan cabs better for some reason.
I'm guessing that one of those N.S SD 40S Is the former Milwaukee Road 200 series Engines , involved in the fatal Pandora wreck . on the abandoned pacific coast extension
Great video and catches! The local freights in my area typically use one or two SD40-2s. In fact, the A81 I caught yesterday morning featured a nice pair of them running LHF making quite a racket, even though they were moving rather slowly. A82, back when it still ran, was always a fun catch as well due to usually having a three or four SD40-2s for power (or some other older EMD, as I caught a high-hood GP38-2 leading it once), along with a good-sized freight, but sadly, NS got rid of the train earlier this year.
Maybe it's just me, but I find the P3 horn to be the most musical 3-chime horn around, and there was a LOT of music starting at 5:11, and again at 10:50.
My favorite horn is at 7:27 I love those sad sounding Canadian horn I’m quite fond of them (BTW can you tell me what horn that is? I’m still trying to learn all of them)
It's a cheap patch job. Connecticut Southern hasn't repainted their locomotives but most of the ex-UP locos on New England Central have since been repainted into G&W orange.
Hakeem Sd70M I live in Arizona east of Phoenix. I’m somewhat close to the PHX sub but it’s been a few years since SD40Ns regularly visited Phoenix and because of my schedule I’m lucky to get trackside at all. I know BNSF occasionally brings SD40-2s here but I’m never able to go out that far to see them.

The greatest sound in railroading! LONG LIVE EMD!!🙏🏿
absolutely NOTHING beats a 645 under load
There's nothing like the sound of a 645 turbocharged prime mover!

2 stroke for the win
@@Sacto1654 yeah they sound so sanitized. The new SD70ACe-T4s also sound like that.
An SD40-2 in notch eight is music to my ears too.
Amen. Nothing nowadays sounds better
One of the sweetest sounding locomotives in the world...
YESSS... music to my ears
Indeed! Thanks for watching...and listening!
Last one is the best of the bunch: the sights and sounds of a train, natural beauty and a moon shot.

I’m not sure if I classify as a railfan yet but I do love these videos!
I grew up next to the Conrail tracks in Sidney Ohio. Miss seeing them.
From all of us with OCD, a big thank you for making your videos in lengths cut to that minute! As per usual, great video.

Always enjoyed seeing the Conrail blue loco’s

I love locomotives and long trains
These are some really good Quality clips of Conrail for them to taken in 2009. No pun intended 😂
B-4 Conrail I had the HONOR of being a part of history. The READING!
I didn’t know there were any Conrail units left that hadn’t been repainted! 😃
There aren't. A lot of these clips are from 2010-2013ish

Go EMD
A FANTASTIC GREAT VIDEO..😍. I love the engine Sound at notch 8 wery wery much...great to hear...the video is wery good filmed 👍😃.

Awesome Video 🇮🇳
Got to make more videos of 94m
Loving it. I guess that person who gave ya thumbs down didn't like the flurries on the ground.

That is a Nathan K3L
The head engine has a great sounding horn
Is the SD40-2 your favorite modern diesel locomotive? Don't forget to watch Part 1: th-cam.com/video/hoMrqU2sMRE/w-d-xo.html
All down on fast track
This video is phenomenal!!
Thanks!
Nice Catch
At 7:02, why do those UP locos have red paint with stripes?
It's a cheap patch job. Connecticut Southern hasn't repainted their locomotives but most of the ex-UP locos on New England Central have since been repainted into G&W orange.
Whats the best time to catch a train in richland? 5-6pm?
I can’t tell if some of the horns heard in this video are Leslie’s or IC’s Nathan P5
Are these actually from 2009?
A couple clips are. But the video is 2009 through 2015, dates are in the description.
Ive never seen an SD40-2 in person (Other than a T-2 in a museum)
Maybe someday you'll get to see one. Do you live near any railroads?

Everyday I live, i’ve become more anti-GE.
Man !!! You need a hobby !!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🍺🍺
I have the anti-GE touch, want it!
12:28 What was that , oil, steam, fuel, water ?
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
1:12, can anyone please explain to me why this radio callout is heard? And what's its purpose?

Talking defect detector. Let’s the crew know the condition of train by radio.
