These units are GE BB40-9W aren't they? Meaning they're 8 axles B-B+B-B truck placements meant for the narrow gauge or tracks with lower carrying capacity per axle... Dash 9s are rather old technology it's interesting whether these are newly made in Erie,PA or some old refurbished ones exported to country with less strict environmental laws??
From reading comments it seems that they're bound for Mozambique, There's another video that has the bogies/trucks following on rail cars. I suspect that they might be made somewhere else. th-cam.com/video/YIoCTT_idmA/w-d-xo.html
Courage Cougar That explains why they went through the trouble of putting the locomotives on flat cars instead of towing them on their own wheels. Mozambique uses a narrower 3-foot 6-inch rail gauge, and I believe they also have some 2’-6” gauge rails too.
Found some interesting information about these locos: They are eight axle narrow gauge locos (similar to the locos VALE uses in Brazil). The bogies may have been sent another route, because the flatcars with the loco bodies did exceed height restrictions (not quite sure about this teh page i found this was in Spanish) ;) Ths locos get partially armoured, especially the cabs.
The scenery Beautiful in this video. I noticed the rock slide protection along the tracks. First time I have seen it in this type of set up. How far out of town is this location? Thanks for a very good video.
Thank you for watching John. This was the Pennsylvania Railroads line over the Allegheny Mountains Just west of Altoona, Pennsylvania. It is just over 4 and a half hour drive from where I live. I was Just down there for five days. I shot lots of video.
Beautiful setting for some beautifully brand new locomotives. Great video!
Thank you.
Great Photography set up and Angel shots of both side view and oncoming train traffic

I saw those locos in Rockport Yard Cleveland! Nice to see someone caught them on video!
Thank you for watching Geoff. I have another video from when I caught some going through Altoona, PA in September of that year. If your interested.
Happy week! 🎉💯👍

Could be. A BB+BB track placement is correct. They are new made in Erie, PA. Thank you for watching.
Yes those units are CLN's BB40-9W
Excellent video

Awesome catch...!!!
Thank you.
Shoestring and Stobe were on that train
What a great video, but where are the bogies!
Thank you. I never found out.
Aww the sweet sound of an EMD prime mover.
Thank you for watching.EMD's were the light SD40E helper set that went by first. The train with the new locomotives were GE's.
Still get a far awake look in my eye when I hear an old train in the night!
Nice catch!
I love the color scheme!
Thank you for watching. It is cool looking.

New locomotivas, Vale 🇧🇷/ Nakala logístic , Moçambique africa.
Great Catch
Thank you.
Your Welcome
Just curious, where are the trucks?
Usually export locomotives are shipped with the trucks on flat cars in the same train.
That was my thought also but I have no idea. Thank you very much for watching.

There going to an African Mining company. There's more in Erie now..
Thank you for watching. Thank you for the info.
Please watch this:th-cam.com/video/8P_k8xAPIjk/w-d-xo.html. Thank you.

They were shipped to Mozambique, Africa.Thank you for watching.
Sweet video and catch Hans
Thank you Peter.
Where are these going??
Thank you for watching. Final destination is Africa. Details are in the description.
Very nice catch!
Thank you.
wonder what they are worth?
This is BB40-9W, a Narrow Gauge locomotive for Africa but these locomotives ate a common site in Brazil
Loco's but no trucks?
I think the BB trucks were already shipped. Thank you watching.
Where were the bogies?
I don't know. Thank you for watching.
I might watch Silver Streak tonight. That's is I don't game.😁
Thank you for watching.
👍 Wonder where the traction motors are?
Thank you for watching. I think they were already shipped.
Great catch! Where are they going?
Thank you. I don't know. Kyle Best says they're going to a African Mining company and there is more in Erie at the GE plant.
***** Oh okay cool.
th-cam.com/video/XmbJKwIkSzA/w-d-xo.html Judging by the paint shame they're going to Mozambique
Courage Cougar That explains why they went through the trouble of putting the locomotives on flat cars instead of towing them on their own wheels. Mozambique uses a narrower 3-foot 6-inch rail gauge, and I believe they also have some 2’-6” gauge rails too.
Were those yellow power units made in the USA? They looked like some nice units
Made in Erie, PA. Thank you for watching John.
Thanks; keep the videos coming and I will keep watching.

Thank you for watching. Yes these are the same locomotives as the locomotives that VALE mining uses in Brazil.
Very nice!
Thank you Chess.

Porque que as buzinas dos trens dos Estados Unidos e México são diferentes do Brasil

I agree. Thank you for watching.
