That was the best era to be 'fannin the MRL...lot's of '40's and '45's, high hoods, and 1st, 2nd. gen geeps..They'd get motive power fresh off another road, simply repaint with MRL markings and numbers then press them into service..saw lots of ex SP and eastern road units like that. The original 'double slash' MRL paint scheme was always the best!! LONG LIVE the MRL!!!
ON MY LAYOUT THE (ATSF IN UPSTATE NY) ALL MY AMTRAK TRAINS ARE RUN W/ FP45'S AND THE STANDARD FREIGHT CONSIST POWER IS AN FP40H, 2 F9'S AND A FP45. IT LOOKS AND RUNS GREAT!!!
I don't care if the quality is 240p tops, this video is still golden 13 years later!

great shots of the Gas local
Lovin' the F45 action around the 3:10 mark!
8 SD45 helpers on a coal train? Dang!!! Love that consist of 3 F45s on one train too!
Absolutely Awesome!! thanx 4 sharin.
there's even a DMIR high hood on one train they seem to like SD45s alot .Theyre all gone now,just like the ones from WC
That F45 blow a mean K5H.
Love that K5H on that F45!
5:08-5:30. Epic!! Montana rail link action
Great catch. I love RR history on film/video.
I know F45 #441 was converted into a lodge to rent out, but what happened to #395??
3:20, BEAUTIFUL!, 5* & FAV!
The F45's sure were reliable because, on the interior, it's just a cowled SD45.
MRL will use the f45's if there is a traffic serge or a power shortage
If only they still used those F45's
lol at 5:40 one windshield wiper randomly starts going
Meus parabéns. É um belo vídeo.
6:39 what was that horn? i really like it. Nice Video!
