Very awesome film Like to see more locomotive building films

I disagree and that we can bring back big steel mills and deep coal mines

Awesome video! Thanks

This channel is a goldmine! Thanks for all the wonderful footage. I’m just barely old enough to remember the tail end of locomotives running with Southern livery & the dawn of the NS thoroughbred scheme, so a lot of this footage really takes me back to some of my earliest memories with my folks & grandparents indulging my boyhood train obsession (which would eventually become a grown man’s train obsession, lol).

Assorted GE U-boats, old EMD Geeps, a myriad of mongrels (6 pack) engines from the Norfolk, Santa Fe comprised the Guilford fleet, the 6 packs were forbidden to operate on any Amtrak lines. Used to work the engine house, repair parts came from canibulized, disabled, locomotives near the fuel pit and most of the active engines were constantly tagged out of service by the FRA in surprise inspections

TOTALLY COOL VIDEO; I live on State Hwy. 304, just south of “cactus corner”, and worked for TXGN in the 90’s. We interchanged cars with the 84 local out of San Antonio, at the old Harwood yard.

There is something about the narrator’s tone & cadence, along with the stark absence of background music, that gives this video a haunting (almost unsettling) quality that really draws me in. Plus, who doesn’t love to see some quality SP action from back in the day?

Hi, anyone know what kind of car that is at 58:38 between the gondola and the flatcar? Can’t quite make it out in case for some reason it’s obvious to anyone.

I’m very excited for this locomotive restoration! I’m very proud to be a donor and I also take some of my KZbin ad revenue and donate it to this locomotive!

Great video.😊

there she is She's the star of the PRR and getting restored.

I just brought an O Gauge model of the NYSW 3622 SD-45 from Williams Electric Trains in September 2024 !

I remember those Norfolk and westren dissels back in the day 80's

Some of these freight trains are seriously hauling ass. They look like they are doing at least 70mph.

Awesome video! Cool the see the whole process of these EMD locos being put together from scratch.

funny how steam town screwd them over

My father worked for the Erie Lackawanna Railroad for 45 years. He had a Pass, and we rode the trains for free. Sometimes, on Sundays in the late 1950s, my dad would drive us to the Hoboken Passenger Terminal, and we took the local to Suffern, N.Y., leaving on Track 16. We rode in the old green Lackawanna Stillwell cars with the thatched seats. The ride was exhilarating, and we could open the window. At Suffern, we strolled around the station and the ballpark, stopped for lunch, and took the train back to Hoboken. The train stopped in the yard before entering the station to release the front engine to the maintenance shop, and another engine hooked up behind us and pushed our train into the station. Before leaving the platform and entering the waiting room, we walked first to see the locomotive. It was always a black with yellow grab bars, Alco RS (road switcher) with Erie painted in yellow letters on the sides. This was before the merger of the Erie and Lackawanna railroads in 1960 when I was seven years old. I remember my dad telling us about the merger in our home. And looking at that Diesel close-up made our Sunday! thanks 🧑‍🎤 🏁 👩‍💼👩‍🎓👩‍⚖️

Between the sea of Conrail blue, 8 diesel lashups with DPUs/helper units, cabooses (cabeese?), and the absolute multitude of SD40- and GP40-type locomotives, this is a historic video that feels so nostalgic.

Neff Video in the Late 90s And Early 2000s was the stuff

Very cool and interesting film

Very good film Took me back memorie lane. The 70s

Thanks for posting. I have this one and “Part 2 - The N&W” on vhs. JMJ Productions did outstanding work for the day.

Sure do miss all the action at East Deerfield back in the B&M days. Took me a while to shine up to Guilford but never will with NS.

Those Locomotives Will Never Retire

You Tube sucks excuse my language but Fuck You Tube with all them commercials and stealing money from people so they won't put any commercials they need to think of a better way to make money instead of interrupting the video 🖕sit on this You Tube

Fascinating video. i enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing it.

Prime mover?, What's wrong with Engine or Motor? Hmm. Just saying.

Maine Central got all those ex- Rock Island U-25b's. Some wound up in Guilford colors. Maybe someday some smart guy can explain how the sum total of The Rocks parts was so much more valuable than The Rock itself.

That was a great video

Miss the days of Guilford @ East Deerfield. Always a great variety of power. But I would still much prefer the bluebirds of the B&M.

This is probably my favorite era of UP. Love the variety of new EMD and GE products on the mainline. Better yet, CNW and SP are still independent.

Want to see a mine truck in close proximity of these trains

Those Locomotives Should Be Reproduced

Back before: Ditch lights were required on road engines, or any train exceeding 20mph. Stenciling on the wheel frames were required fuel logs were kept so an accurate amount of spillage could be formulated Track warrants were used, making DTC blocks a relic and making verbal authority a little safer. I remember so much of this stuff from when I hired out and have seen so many changes! Situations like this where the changes were necessary to prevent or minimize a repeat.

I worked for a large grocery company and I did a lot of work with Conrail using them to haul piggy backs from Ohio to near Boston. I got two invitations to ride this train. One was from Boston to Springfield and back and the other was from Hartford Ct. to Stanford Ct. and back. On the first trip I was in the cab of 4021. Had to walk through both engines while we were in route. It was very loud.

Great video !!!! LUV the sound of those E-8's !!!!!!!!
