Is THIS a Locomotive??

- It may look strange, but the Herzog Multi-Purpose Machine is actually a pretty clever design. The train has been heavily modified to help railroads maintain their right-of-ways and get the job done!

I've caught a rebuilt GP39-2 from Herzog that had a very similar cowl that fully enclosed the locomotive. It was HGZX 186.
Where did you catch the engine at
@@jacobdubielak El Paso, TX.
When I first saw this out of the corner of my eye, I thought that it was a P40DC locomotive at first.
Very interesting engine. I've seen examples of other Herzog engines with the cowl body covering the entire engine, but this is the first I've seen that still shows the unmistakable GP40 radiators.
that's a GP40, you can tell by the three fans
@@kafeelahmed6439 correct
How many times do I have to prove this?THIS LOCOMOTIVE IS NOT A REBUILT GP38! A GP 38 HAS TWO EXAUST STACKS, ONE DYNAMIC BRAKE FAN, AND, TWO REAR RADIATOR FANS! AND A GO 38 HAS A PAPER AIR FILTER BOX RIGHT BEHIND THE CENTRAL AIR INTAKE BEHIND THE CAB!
@@terrywallace4109Duly noted. Fixed my comment.
@@terrywallace4109 it’s a GP40 just with a cowl around it
Great video as always. Always found these things interesting to look at from photos and videos. Especially with the GP40 details on the engine.
Thanks dude!
You have some of the most interesting videos. and so well done. Keep it up man...
Really appreciate that. Thanks!
I saw that thing not long ago at CP Bridge. Couldn’t tell what it was, but looked cool! Glad you made a video on it. Keep up the good work.
Thanks man!
I’ve actually seen one of those trains parked in Buda, TX!
Well done sir
Thanks!
Nice video! I seen another example of Herzog engine. It was parked along the BNSF Aurora Subdivision in Wisconsin.
Thanks!
Your welcome @@v12productions!
Awesome video! I filmed that same train in West Virginia last year. I recognised the graffiti on it. lol
Yep that's the same one. Give Chessie a bone!
Same here and at Pearisburg Virginia at the Celanese Plant.
And at Ingleside West Virginia between Oakvale and Chester.
I saw one of these parked up by Berea in the NS yard
Loram technologies has a whole fleet of them called TSO aka Tie Set Out units, just GP38s from NS with the loram maintenance of way hoods on them. I operated them for a year
Definitely an oddball locomotive. I saw it running BNSF's Beardstown sub with a hirailer escort in the front. If I recall, one side had a P3, and the other a K series of some sort. From what I remember as well, when the flat car cab end was leading and would sound its horn, the rear GP locomotive sounded its horn as well.
Great video!!
Thanks!
Thanks for the info on this unit!
Thanks for watching!
The first MPM was built using a unit car that was used for double stacks. A floor was added along with the rail along the top. After that Herzog switched to building the well cars from scratch.
Great stuff.
Thanks!
Technically it is, it pulls a work train, it's not that heavy duty, it does do the job it's made for.
IT LOOKS LIKE A ASIAN VERSION OR EUROPEAN STYLE OF THE P42DC GENESIS
I live in St.Joseph, Missouri (Where Herzog is headquartered) I live on a BNSF branchline that serves the Herzog facility and I see these all the time from my house.
Great video, Charlie! Keep up the Strong 💪 Effort. 👍
Will do. Thanks!
Great drone shots & video!
Hey man, great vid again! Bizarre power and cool but bizarre train. Wild excavator! Can you imagine running that?! What a rush! Thanx for all the very cool info again on amazing stuff that keeps the trains rollin!
Thanks!!
Very Nice Video Man! 👍👍👍
Yes it is!this locomotive is rebuilt from an emd gp40.it was once a full blown geep. The main giveaway is the hood, the four cooling fans and the underframe,under-rated, the trucks and look at d the rear of this unit. So , yes she is a locomotive.
Saw one way back in 2017 when a train came right up behind me in burford
It can't be switched at a hump yard but it can be switched at the Norfolk Southern Bluefield West Virginia Yard area.
I saw one of these a few years ago in Galesburg, Illinois
Very cool 😎
Honestly I’ve always wondered why some cars say “do not hump”. Mystery solved! Thanks.
Epic P5 on that NS manifest!!!
Nice explanation, just like The Brick video.
Thanks!
ive seen this in Fargo, ND. like you said vry weird looking, but they are pretty sweet.
This is an emd gp40 locomotive rebuilt for herzog company. For work train services
The MPM built by Herzog can't be switched at a hump yard. My guess would be that it can be switched at the yard in Bluefield West Virginia. Also I saw it at Ingleside West Virginia between Oakvale and Chester and Pearisburg Virginia and the Celanese Plant.
looks like a polish locomotive
Eh, it would need to have those red end lights inside of the headlights to look Polish. Thats the distinctive thing about locomotives produced by Fablok S.A.
But I do see where you got the similarity from. It does resemble a EP09 a bit
Great video, bro. I'd love to see this in operation
Thanks! I would too.
When i was in the 4th grade i saw this train since the school was it next to the track... my and my friend ( who is also into trians ) saw This locomotives and we were so confused. When we went home we both did a bunch of google searches and never find it. It wasn't until a years later i googled it and only found 1 photo of it..crazy
i got a hornshow from one. they have nice RS3Ls
It can be switched at a railyard, but under it's own power and not down a hill using gravity.
This is the new Stealth Herzog model from DARPA industries.
Yes it is
They should equip it with a giant vacuum cleaner and sent it to Los Angeles.
I saw that on the end of a BNSF westbound
I’ve seen something like this dropping bundles of ties along a track they were going to refurb, pretty cool
Another interesting video with new information for me. Thanks,
Thanks!
It can't be switched on a hump yard, but it can be switched at the Bluefield West Virginia yard.
Nice technical information video. I had no idea. Would like to see a deeper video on the "do not hump" explanation. Thank you
Thanks! I'll probably make a full video on the "do not hump" warning in the future.
@@v12productions I will be looking forward to seeing it 👍
I slightly disagree on the "Do Not Hump" comment made in this video. This piece of equipment can be switched at/in a hump yard. It just is banned from going over/sent over the hump.
Also I own that particular train in g scale at Mountain View Elementary Middle School in Union West Virginia.
Is there some reason some cars are not hump-able? Maybe what is inside is too fragile ? I can see this Herzog train is pretty specialized but I have noticed sometimes the cars that are not hump-able look pretty orginary. I look forward to you upcoming videos but also, hopefully, this hump vs do not hump might be addressed. Again, Thanx for these videos. I especially enjoy your enthusiasim.
At the Celanese Plant.
Caught the same thing a year ago back in April
I’ve only caught this once never got a picture though.
I caught one of these once, i thought it was quite interesting
I own a g scale replica of the particular model set in Mountain View Elementary Middle School in Union West Virginia.
Never saw that before
Seen that at weywega siding weywega wi
Where is this yard in Dallas, GA?
Just south of downtown Dallas.
It looks like something from Chuggington
Like I said 373 was changed to I363.
First the ns brick now this? whatever next? lol
Heard about the metro crash
Metra
These things are NOT "considered" locomotives, that way, a non locomotive engineer (i.e. Herzog employee) can operate them.
A SD40-3.
No this is Patrick
This g scale version is number 1403.
The engineers don't wave from the trains anymore, not like they did back in 1954.chris
it like d14e from my country vietnam
It's Fisher Price.
There's NS 373.
I like that train.
It looks kinda english. Weird
This locomotive is not rebuilt from a gp38!this unit was rebuilt from a gp40!notice the three large radiator fans ,and the single dynamic brake fan! You should never mistake this unit from a gp38! A gp38 has only two radiator fans in the rear of the carbody!and it has only one dynamic brake fan! It is really sad that most people don't know a go38 from a gp40! This locomotive is a rebuilt gp40!not agp38! COUNT THE NUMBER OF COING FANS! A GP38 HAS TWO REAR RADIATOR FANS!AND A GO40 HAS THREE REAR FANS!
You mean recognize.
Nah that's Patrick
Yes, but no.
So the RRs classify it as motw equipment. So they don't need to put te&y crews on it. Saving them a buck
do not hump
ah
There's NS 373.
