And a center depressed flatcar at the back. Man, what a find. I'm subscribing for sure. Hopefully it doesn't brake down or anything, so they won't have to use that flatcar for it. Great video!
used to photograph the dda40x's in Cajon Pass, when I lived in southern California in the late 60's and through the 1970's. by 1980 there weren't many left running. numbered from 6900 to 6946, so only 47 were ever made
Ok, giving you some history. The DDA40X was the LARGEST locomotive ever made in history. As time progressed, tracks got narrow, and technology got more advanced. They had to start the decommission of this successful locomotive. Only 13 remain to this day. Besides, the centennials don't have much of an agreement to the T-4 EPA standards. Only 1 is still in service, UP 6936. This video is 6944, as because it is preserved for a museum. Sorry, I just had to get to your dumbass comment so I can help you.
People say this one wasnt running but it sounded like it was to me, its like the excuse for it not running is some government regulation if it that was the case southern pacific couldn't run theres, I seen one exactly the same as this only painted black and it runs as a regular freight train pulling coal cars.....it went threw southern IL not to long ago.
It’s not operational at all. Most of the preserved centennials were gutted of parts for other locomotives before being sent away to their respective homes.
All EMD!!!!! Excellent video and catch.
Wow DDA40X
it looks much better then before
That was cool great shot.
Man that thing was flying. Came out a lot better than mine did.

Nice job , nothing wrong with the camera angle to me.
thanks for sharing
Awesome
Was it restored to running condition?
No just repainted
@@skipperpenguinofmadagascar8273, that sucks that it's a "dud" engine.
I'm hoping UP does another DDA40X to be a runner.
how come DDA40X is not allowed to be used?

Can it run ?
Dumbass. It's decommissioned, It was cosmetically restored. Only 6936 runs today.
@@seaboardspastic Jesus dude you don’t have to be a cunt about it. He was just asking a simple question.

Preserved prob, wont ever run again
Of course, because once a diesel is retired stays retired
