THE BURLINGTON NORTHERN HAD AT ONE TIME ,OVER 700 OF THESE UNIQUE LOCOMOTIVES!
Yeah. I found that out from an earlier commenter.
Tribute for SD40-2 Locomotives from India 🇮🇳. These locomotives can never be old. Long live SD40-2s.
Best and most versatile loco ever built in my opinion. I repaired locomotive electrical systems for 12 years and worked on a lot of models.
I don’t understand why you come up with other information besides SD40-2.
Too much to keep up with in my head. 🤯
BN had the biggest fleet of SD40-2s almost 900
EMD 645/710 is a pure symphony of sound that will never get old
Well put together!! Nice! 👍👍✔✔
Got to love the emd prime mover especially when they are in full throttle
EMD SD40-2 (THE GOATS) Best EMD 6 axles Locomotives
Favorite SD40-2 for me is any C&NW unit with that wonderful Leslie horn.
Crazy how the GP30 is now 60 years old.
I model the Grand Trunk Western, so I love the clean lines of a Non-DB locomotive.
Merry Christmas AC!
CP actually had 580 SD40-2's. You are forgetting about the 25 SD40-2F Red Barns.
This is the start of a great highlight on the diesel that changed the rules through many of its predecessor units that helped make it possible for the 40-2 to become the icon it is today.
The D&H livery is beautiful, the cursive lettering on the shield is messy but must be traditional. I appreciate your detailed insights, a lot to take in but I enjoy coming back to listen again.
Great commentary on these 💯😎
Thanks.
I remember the Susie Q era. I live in the Washington DC region and it was pretty cool to see those "Yellow Jackets" and "Lightning Stripes" on a regular basis (not to mention that Conrail was still a thing).
Nonetheless: long live the SD40 and SD40-2.
Binge Watching Christmas Morning, Raining here so can't be in the woods logging, kids long out of the house..... Thank You :) Excellent series
Best unit ever manufactured I loved working with them throughout my career. Dependable, strong , easy to maneuver around ,good heaters .
SD40-2 Never Say Die.
Thanks AC! There aren’t too many channels out there that spread your knowledge with us. Thanks! 👍
In the mid 80s to the early 90s when on my way into cleveland I'd pass collinwood and get a view of the loeocomotive facilities. It's strange, I kept expecting to see a variety of locomotives but only ever saw the familiar 3 fans on an EMD long hood - 40 series power. It was as if that was the only model they used.. heh. I have seen 38s on that line, mostly around willoughby, but until the dash 8s came along that was about it.
Love these mini docs from you AC! Such a wealth of knowledge and quality video man. I always watch these from beginning to end! Thanks for the email. Look forward to hearing from you bud. Stay safe.
I do greatly appreciate all the effort you have put in this episode and the next four. I can not wait to watch them. But I would like to pose a guess/question for you and your comments section. What do you think will be the longest lasting EMD product SD40 and iterations, or the GP40 line?
SD40s
My favorite locomotive thank you so much for sharing I’m definitely subscribing to your channel 👍😀
BN had 835 SD40-2s
Now NS Has currently 4 or 5 locomotives built, the rest are being built at the Juniata Locomotives Shops (Altoona, PA) I can’t wait to see 6400-6405!
Outside of the F units, they're the best - and best looking - freight locomotives made.
i'm interested in whatever you put up--i want to see a great future growth for railroads.
Fantastic Video Lets Watch Some More AC You Are the Best
Good job AC I love this documentary keep up the great work very enjoyable I love it when you narrate your videos and give us loads of information and knowledge about our favorite hobby locomotives and railroads the SD40-2 is my favorite locomotive of all time it has a very unique sound that's unmistakable when you heard them run sd40-2s will probably one of the most reliable locomotives ever built it's amazing to think that these locomotives are 50 years old but they are still working strong doing what they were built to do still to this day peace out into the world man have a great day AC good job with this documentary keep up the great work I loved this video very much good job
Excellent video! Glad you brought up BNSF's GP40X (now classified GP25X) and GP50s, there's one of each working the 101 local at Jonesboro, Arkansas, saw both of them this morning as a matter of fact! They also operate a North local that runs from West Plains to Springfield, Missouri and is usually powered by a pair of SD40-2s (BNSF 1777 and 1998 respectively), although there are instances when a third SD40-2 is added when the local calls for extra horsepower. Happy holidays!
nearest railroad to my home that runs SD40-2 from Norfolk Southern that are based at Lock Haven.
great video AC I saw on of those D&H Stickers units on train H76 if I recall it was numbered 3476
Green Bay has the ESCANABA AND LAKE SUPERIOR RR regional that still uses SD40-2'S from Green Bay North on the former MILWAUKEE ROAD track to Pembine, Iron Mountain Michigan in the Upper Peninsula, and Channing, MI., plus other track that are semi abandoned but used for car storage. Three(3) diesels are still painted Conrail Blue. Which also matches the E.M.D. and G.A.T.X. Lease Fleet units. But, unit 1338 is called I.S.L.X. and painted in the GREAT NORTHERN livery of Orange and Green for the "EMPIRE BUILDER" Passenger train. And those colors also match the GP40 Number 400. And the special BALDWIN 300 Class RS12 used frequently on the Presidential Inspection train. Plus other special excursions. MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎅 🤶 🎄 ❤ 2021 A.D.!! AND, HAPPY NEW YEAR 2022 A.D.!! GOD BLESS EVERYBODY WITH WISDOM, HEALTH, HAPPINESS, AND PEACE ON EARTH!!!!! ALLELUIA!!!!! AMEN 🙏.
By far my favorite modern diesel!
The SD-38 Reading and Northern Engine number 2004 is a Ex DT&I Engine the Reading and Northern bought all Six SD-38 DT&I Engine's at which time became the GT Railroad.
18:21, what the...? That badly-painted unit is very reminiscent of SSW 7655 and SP 7675!
This series is a good Xmas present to your fans
Yes sd40 was the goat of all railroad engines
Illinois Central Railroad GP40X #3075 was prototype GP40 #433A, she was later wrecked and deemed beyond repair. My information cones from Jim Boyd thanks to his book Illinois Central Monday morning rails.
Saved And Shared. Catching up here. The series is off to a great start.
OUTSTANDING. ! WELL DONE. ! 🇺🇸🏆👍👍
Another great video from AC!
Keep up the good work AC!
What A Way To End 2021 Start 2022 Thank AC Your Great
Marry Christmas buddy I hope do photography with 5 years being buddy
Ontario keep them all we guess
GATX, my friend and I gave them the nickname "Gay-tex" since the 1990's. At the time we didn't understand what or who the railroad was (before google), so we called them as we thought. As of today, we still call them by their nickname as it seems fitting.
Can you please do a video on the EMD Amtrak F40PH/F40PHR next???
My favorite Sd40-2s from NS are the ex-FURX or EX-NW units. My favorite of which is NS 3490.
I love it!!!!!. Your video I mean. Excellent as always.
Would love to see SD 90s
the REAL sd90's, there are none left. the 4300's, hundreds left.
I have seen 5413 before. So it is a SD40T-2 not a SD45T-2 Even though some of those engines were made for the Rio Grande this is not one of them
🎄 Thanks AC trucker man rail fan 🎁 you should go take a ride on reading Northern holiday train
Correction: January 1972 marks the actual month the DASH 2 series was known to the public. Still we get what you're saying. Thanks.
what locomotive is the most sold is it GE ore EMD
a c44-9 or an ac4400.
The IC GP40X you showed with a photo had nothing to do with nor was from the second group of 23 GP40X units and was not connected to or had anything to do with EMD developing the 50 series, and is a very different GP40X than the GP40X used by EMD to develop the 50 series. The GP40X painted IC orange and white was used by EMD to develop the GP40 series in the 1960's.
So maybe I accidentally used the wrong photo.. So sue me.
What does G. O. A. T. stand for?
Greatest Of All Time
hey AC do you think CSX will do a heritage series?
I know you aren’t asking me, but I know a lot of ppl who work for CSX and live in the heart of CSX territory, I highly doubt it. CSX is very big on saving as much money as possible, and special paint schemes such as heritage units just spend “unnecessary“ money.
@@ProLGL yeah i don;t see it happening either but you hear things here and there and it's a question!! although i do hope they got a good deal on that grey paint some of the engines are sporting and will be painting more with it! that tri color looks a hundred times better than just the yellow on blue!!
Another great video
Why is the Reading and Northern reporting mark RBN and not RAN? Is there another railroad with the RAN reporting mark?
Also, since NS abandoned the Nineveh-Albany line, who owns it now?
R&N's reporting mark is RBMN.. I'm not aware of any Nineveh-Albany line that's been abandoned. Thanks for watching.
