- In todays video, we see multiple oddballs from BNSF, plenty of fallen flags, a few heritage units, and more warbonnets than you can count! Some of these lashups, will never be seen again!

12:55 Owld age
12:31 to 12:43
2:08 2:09 2:11 2:12
13:34 Scrapped a long long time ago
1:01 that statement right there is literally true with some people’s luck. It’s literally like going into trainz and then spawning your own consist in, with like 3 special interest units and then driving it around the line in the video game, then only to find the consist IRL when out railfanning. That’s how some people’s luck is.
Lol
"Something somewhere on these giant machines is always going to be leaking" Lmao, sounds like the Chinooks I work on daily!
Lol
Thousands of parts, rotating at high speed around an oil leak.
Or a pre-Evo Harley Davidson
Great video! Those lashups are INSANE! still gotta love Dash 8s!
Thank you! Yeah, D8’s are always awesome
It’s a shame that class I/1’s are being retried
And I mean class I/1’s are retiring them
CN has the Wisconsin And Southern Heritage Unit plus they have the Elgin Joliet and Eastern, Illinois Central, BC Rail and a Grand Trunk SD70M-2
We could really use someone like you up in the Twin Cities. So many oddities & historically significant railroad things of all sorts waiting for their day in the spotlight.
9:08 that lashup is incredible, looks like something straight out of the 90s! To bad the one bnsf unit was there or else it would really look like it! Either way that is an incredible catch. Definitely need to pick up some of those for modeling!
Thank You for making the video, great explanations about some of the units. You always go a great job.
Nice locomotive catches especially 1063 and the fallen flags and the heritage units
18:14 If your wondering about this unit this is a Ex-TFM AC4400CW, that was delivered to TFM, when KCS bought out TFM in 1997, it became KCSM since then. Now it's CPKCM after the merger with CP and KCS as of 2023. I think KCSM 4537 was TFM 2637 before the patch and renumbered.
I really appreciate your videos. Thanks so much for the research and time that you put into making these info filled videos. Keep up the great work.
I absolutely have to model some of these units! I live in Minneapolis and get to see tons of odd lash ups, unique locomotives, and vintage equipment on a regular basis One local railroad, Minnesota commercial never disappoints when it comes to strange power and equipment. I love your videos thanks!
RE: Geometry car- Granddad was telling me that back in the '40s the railroads he worked for (Pittsburg, Shawmut & Northern and Erie) had cars equipped with a recording seismograph. It used a paper tape synchronized to the wheels. So with 100% mechanical technology, you could automatically detect low joints, etc. by mile marker. This was of course combined with visual inspection.
I just watched that Yoopers video out of Christmas spirit - fascinating to see it here
CSX has A good amount of C40-8Ws left along with the CM40-8 Rebuilds.
Great video! I actually caught the bnsf geometry train on the BNSF Omaha Sub by surprise and it also had a fake bonnet in trail behind the leader which another cool surprise.
Awesome!
At 6:38 you can see one of the locomotives on the Z train is spitting fire!
Dale yoopers rusty Chevrolet is always a classic. 12:35
Amazing video! Galesburg is all about the good stuff.
I hate to break it but CN has retired ALL of their C40-8W’s. They are being cut up left and right across Canada and America. Ironic considering Lordstown also has CN/BCOL Dash8’s being cut up too
Great video! Thanks for covering Galesburg again!
Dang this guy knows a lot..Well done Sir!
1. Ex NS C40-8 8302 left LTEX a couple months ago along with a bunch of ex CSX C40-8W's that went to various G&W Railroads so maybe 8302 is going to one of them
2. One Norfolk Southern heritage unit GEVO has already got their treatment, 8099 (southern) it was in A wreck and then it came out of the shops probably about towards the beginning or middle of the year with a new coat of paint and new black number boards
I was lucky and caught BNSF #2042 sitting in the BNSF Eola Yard in Aurora Illinois earlier this year. I have a picture but not sure if I can share it with you.
I live about an hour from Galesburg so I like to come and watch trains there too.
Great Video liked when you talk about 325 and the brief history of the of the WC its means alot to bunch of us.
Thank you for putting out another great video.
You’re welcome, I’m glad you enjoyed!
Mind blowing catches! Great video!
0:41 nice to see 5632 again(shame it was scrapped)
And at 0:45 it’s 4960!
Love the work has always ! Great video!
16:51 At least one NS GEVO Heritage Unit has been repainted, 8099 - The Southern. Though this was after it went through fight, with a landslide, in Pittsburgh....
Loving the Allis Chalmers at 9:47
fun fact: BNSF 2042 Was actually rescued by an unknown person and was restored to where it can run so basically if BNSF see's this then it might get storage again
Today…
Sir, I have recently discovered your content and I must say, you are in a class of your own. After watching your dash 8 videos, I have a request. If you find the time, may you please make a video about the last remaining cascade green BNSF SD-60M’s like the dash 8 videos? Thank you in advance, and merry (early) Christmas, sir.
It's awesome to see red Warbonnet's, but sad to see them in such rough shape. Great info in this video - nice job!
I live in Red Wing, Mn and see alot of BNSF units up at the Northtown yard... I have been able to photograph alot war bonnets lately.
Great video 👍👍
such cool stuff there. I'd be visiting that yard everyday if i lived near it. Seems BNSF has lots to offer in terms of cool stuff.
18:40 Anyone catch that natural gas gevo in the background? Anyways, great video Southern Plains! Looking forward to the next video uploaded.
This looks so much better for BNSF to give 1755 it's classic ATSF Numbers instead of that Black Patch with White Numbers now it looks much better different than 552 but with it's Warbonnet Logo in red instead changing that fading Pink Color to it's classic Red and I was going to call 552 a Oddball
Love the video and also how did you get in the locomotive shop and also you never fail to see something cool
Great Video!
The warbonnet leading the inspection car did it have a k5la horn
I have a picture of BNSF 515 and 545 in Davenport IA back in 2016
Wow! Amazing to see a Smurf paired with warbonets! Also how do you know that code for a train? I’m still a little new to railfanning, well, 8 months but still. Love the videos keep up the great work!!
Once again Great Video and lashups! Also the BNSF smurfs always remind me of Conrail.
Thank you! Actually, 2042 did work for Conrail ~25 years ago.
@@Southern_Plains_Railfan Wow still in blue even after being sold!
I like seeing new videos
I got to see one of those special passenger cars seen at 10:08 today. A single H2 Dash 9 was pulling it but it looked like it was waiting for a passing mixed freight to go by. Saw it 15 or so miles south west of the Santa Fe Junction. I couldn't get a picture as I was going along Interstate 35 in KS. But I recognized it since I watched this video beforehand.
haha, thanks for "da Yoopers" cameo in your video.
Nice. Thanks.
I was impressed to hear the term electromagnetic energy used in a railfanning video
I know atleast some rail fans have noticed this.
The way the airline is ran when not connected and the 2 lights on either side make the train look like its making the ":3" face.
Great vidio, very informative article, like the fact so many Canadian locos depicted. Thanks for the morning coffee...
You’re welcome, glad you enjoyed!
At BNSF, we don't make the locomotive, we make it bluer.
12:02 sounds like that warbonnet dash 9 has a k5la
In fact I saw at least 12 BNSF dash 8's in Iowa as well as a bunch of ex Norfolk Southern Dash 8 and dash nines as well as some CSX ones and a CSX-B40-8, I've seen my fair share of ex BC rail dash 9 and dash 8's
I like how you blocked out sertain thangs without using that same ol blur that's cool thank you 👍👍👍👍
Very cool
Thank you!
@@Southern_Plains_Railfan your welcome
16:45 i thought the Southern HU (gevo) got the repaint after it was repaired from it's wreck? or am i misremembering?
It did, but it wasn’t rebuilt.
BNSF should make a Smurf heritage unit!
Come to Terre haute Indiana would love to hear the history and your videos.
12:32 I lost it 😂
Da Yoopers, “Rusty Chevrolet”. A great Christmas parody song, with a video here on TH-cam.
I saw a blue BNSF engine once on the main line once in Tennessee
18:12 I saw 4537 trailing on RCHI457 along with a Ferromex ACe
With motive power pulling the trains from start to delivery and back, now there will be many motive power road names seen anywhere. It is more cost effective than changing locos that moved to the end of a rail section owned by a specific company. Once lashed up, they just continue pulling the train to the end of the run or to a classification yard where the cars would be regrouped into different trains to move to their final destination. The motive power is just leased to the next block of ownership and to the end of the run. This vastly reduces locomotives dead heading (moving motive power only) back to get the yards to get another train. The locos lash up to pull another train back to their rail home base. Crews may change out, but the locos continue on. I hope I explained this well enough. It is a bit complicated. I tried to simplify the processes.
I am sure many current road names will change in the next ten years or so. When reconsolidating into a new railroad name, they get to write off the cost of the motive power, rolling stock, rail right of way, and track for tax savings after the tax deduction has hit the statute of years it can be written off. Most corporations do this like clockwork. You can almost calibrate the atomic clock by it.
9:14 could've fooled me being in the early 90's. Wow! I hate to admit it, but Galesburg, IL is WAY better than watching trains in Boone, IA and North Platte, NE combined.
Looks like my model RR.
Nice trainz raiway
1:10 rip 2042, got sent to storage recently.
Love your content,I don’t live near Galesburg
The blue paint on a BNSF eninge isn't new. Back in the day, before the BN came into being, the Great Northern played around with a blue and white colour scheme. I remember some of the GP9 and the E or F series painted blue, along with some passenger cars.
Question: why do they always put a hopper or something behind the locomotive other than the geo cars or passenger cars?
9:08 Yep it speaks for itself
Im on the CSX and NS so I probably wont see a Warbonnet
Did 691 have a K5LLA?
There are a lot of leasing companies power at donkey creek yard near Gillette Wyoming
1:44 “BNSF… doesn’t care much about looks…”
Paint don’t pull. That’s how I heard it, at least.
Smaller companies, meanwhile, that are keen on attracting new business see it as a valuable promotional tool - as the big companies did in the old days.
I guess that when a company gets too big it gets lazy and complacent, believing that it can exist forever on the business it already has
10:10 that is a very nice locomotive
Man I love your videos. TH-cam keeps unsubscribing me. This is the 2nd confirmed time that it's happened. It's ticking me off. I want to support content creators I like but how am I supposed to do that when it won't even let me stay subscribed?!?!
16:55 8099: Am I a joke?
There is a Chessie closed hopper at the Elgin County Railway Museum in St Thomas Ontario🚂🇨🇦🇺🇲🙋
Love your vids. Planning a daytrip to railfan to Galesburg and see my first humpyard. Checking google maps they don't show a 4th street bridge. They show 3rd street and Hwy 10 crossing the yard. Am I missing something?
The 3rd street bridge is the 4th street bridge. Idk why the street names randomly change like that. The gravel patch by the wye just off Seminary street is also a good spot, but the bridge is the best; you can see everything.
@@Southern_Plains_Railfan Excellent, thanks.
I can tell you that the 1755 was "repainted" at some point between July 7th and August 27th of 2023, I have 2 pictures of it, and the first doesn't yet have the new number style.
Edit: this was actually intended for the video I watched before this one, so I'll repost it there, but I'll leave this comment here since 1755 is also in this video.
When did 1755 get a new number font in the ATSF style?
Ex atsf 647 has a conrail c40-8w blue part on the left side I don't know what it's name is but it's there
12:31 Rusty chevy
Diesel shop break
16:56 is incorrect, 8099 was refurbished after wreck damage
Total noob, I just do yard assists through a outside contractor. But I did mention my surprise at seeing one of those Illinois Central locomotive to one of the conductors.. They seemed pretty happy about having it as head end power.
I think BNSF 1063 was involved in the Roswell Train Wreck. . .
I saw a kcs in battle ship grey it was nice but it was showing it age
Hello from alva
Folks see what happens when we all get along ❤, but no we wanna homogenize everything and run it through a Macco paint booth .I'm going to name it Jessie's 🌈 collation collision train ser 😂
The Z train is kinda like the ATSF Super C train
In New Mexico I was recording and then I stopped and then a Geo train raced passed me
Da yoopers are funny
#5972 Good stuff sir☺️
Lash ups are a term coined by foamers,as a former railroad employee it’s called a consist,,nothing else
Got to see a ghost i was so surprised she was beauty i have it on my channel i cant recall her number
I HATE this video!
along with the oil top off they sample the oil send it off to be analyzed and they add in supplementative oil additives for wear protection, seal conditioning , friction and viscosity modifiers ect... they only really get an oil change when/if the oil gets contaminated
