You have some Amazing Power on this video!!

Thank you.

[@f304]

some nice shots of the boys in blue

[@traintyme]

the yellow was used when it was under BC electric, then BC Hydro in 1962, and up until about 1985, when the blue started being used. Then when it was sold, that blue scheme stayed on as southern railway of BC.

Great video!Like the SW900s!

[@lexpo181]

Nice stuff!

[@ComicBookGuy33]

I can remember when the B.C. Hydro locomotives were light blue, then later they were painted yellow.

[@camsmith7651]

@TMandN Thanks for the comment. Those old beasts just keep burbling along ;-)

why is the train behind 122 called a slug?

[@SkeenaPacific]

"A railroad slug is an accessory to a diesel-electric locomotive. It has trucks with traction motors but, unlike a B unit, is unable to move about under its own power, as it does not contain a prime mover to produce electricity, and there may or may not be a cab for an operator. Instead, it is connected to a locomotive, called the mother, which provides the needed electrical power to operate the traction motors, and the motor controls." - Wikipedia.

[@quizzyboi2320]

also why is there BNSF Norfolk southern and Burlington northern trains there!? I thought they are for the united States of America

[@SkeenaPacific]

They are U.S.-based railway companies but have railway lines into Canada. In the same way, in the U.S., you can see CN and CP locomotives pulling CN and CP trains, because they own tracks in the U.S.

[@NPTNReddek]

Yeah BNSF owns trackage in Canada, Tracks in Manitoba for switching and here for Coal, Manifest and local trains
