Dude, seriously such an awesome catch and mix of units! I'm glad to see that scrapyard is receiving a healthy number of cars.

[@therailroadtiespiker]

I was surprised to see them pull out 5 cars and I got them taking apart the grain train earlier. It's always a good day when you don't have to leave town to film. Lol

[@gmftrainvideos]

@@therailroadtiespiker Exactly! And Kokomo has some nice locations and trains, so it's a win win.

[@carltongadgettmannprice352]

Good video Sir! I haven't been able to figure out the need for so many locomotives.

[@cythree]

Great video.

[@therailroadtiespiker]

Thank you cythree

[@ChainsawNW1218]

ChainsawN&W1218, nice looking GP38-2.

[@therailroadtiespiker]

Yes it is this was the first time I've seen this locomotive here in Kokomo.

[@danbedford5419]

Good video

[@therailroadtiespiker]

Thanks Dan I also caught them tearing down the grain train at Kokomo Grain using the two UP engines.

[@danbedford5419]

Ur w , cool , don't get to see trains assembled or taken apart very much

[@daybot4466]

Strange to see GE power on that track

[@therailroadtiespiker]

Yes it always is.

[@quintinivey9359]

Those GE's for Kokomo Grain. Was this branch line or a former main line of a fallen flag?

[@therailroadtiespiker]

I know Conrail used this line for a time and yes they brought the grain train into town.

[@proudfoamer2]

Why was dragging around those big U P hogs? Not for that one move.

[@therailroadtiespiker]

Yes so the conductor didn't have to ride the point and it was so I could make a really cool video. Lol

[@jimrockford3662]

Dude….A filthy part of American speech.

[@therailroadtiespiker]

Yes and on a bridge that's painted to the town/State college. Lol
