That's a very interesting rare Canadian National CN consist @ around 7:30 with a standard cab GE C40-8 and interesting CN SW8 Road Switchers! You don't see this that often these days, especially with Road Switchers in the consist. Those standard cab GE C40-8's started to disappear without notice. One of my favorite locomotives built by General Electric GE.

Wow those Canadian national switcher locomotives sure look interesting. Cool catch.

[@BAHolmes]

Fun fact... When I worked at the Memphis roundhouse we would set up switch engines like that (cabs on either end) for the yard crews to work the inbound trains in the yard. 2 sets flat switched the trains each shift. We called them "double buckets"

[@AMPProductionsVideo]

That is Interesting, Thanks

[@benharleman587]

My friend owns those BUGX units!

[@jeffwhite3679]

Looks like the CN is moving a lot of power north. There was a train passed my house while I was mowing this afternoon that had 5 units on the head end. Switchers yesterday and road power today....

[@JustinTrackside]

Really nice video! I enjoyed the CN's.

[@TrainManBrodie]

Thanks for watching, Justin!

Like the old CN switchers. the rail looks worn out. Have you seen BNSF 5869 a 25th Annivsersary Unit? Its been on the Transcon mostly. Not sure if the BNSF 5869 will ever run on secondary lines.

[@TrainManBrodie]

I haven't seen any of the new BNSF anniversary units.
