Historic Railroad Equipment Moving!

[@willberestartingthischanne9984]

Awesome Video

[@MrWolfSnack]

4:57 that's BNSF 6976 that Maersk paint scheme is rare! The 6976 is the ONLY locomotive in the world to ever wear that paint scheme. (The "rare principle": do and keep what is rarest.) This is the only preserved former Amtrak SDP40F locomotive (apart from the test bed unit EMD still apparently has)

[@RyanChugg]

UP should help you guys out! More

[@Jimoff2Gaming]

That F7A behind the tanker is AWESOME!

[@trainmandan05]

That isn't an F, that is an ALCO.

[@Jimoff2Gaming]

Ok, sorry I just saw the cab of it and typed! My apologies.

[@JoyceLund]

I think they should take the alco fa and put it in a sp&s paint again and run it with nkp 190

[@Midland1072Productions]

they should paint an Amtrak P42 in Southern Pacific colors

[@F40PHR231]

Thanks for documenting this move, video looks sharp!

[@NicksCollectableCreations]

Interesting set of equipment they moved. The Daylight and GN paint schemes are 2 of my favorites.

[@OfficialSEIC2K6]

They had to move the equipment due to the Union Pacific demolishing the Brooklyn Street roundhouse. The #231 and #644 came along too. They later had to leave Oregon due to extreme vandalism in 2013. 11 years later, BNSF #3613 would be preserved by Oregon Rail Heritage Center. BNSF #3613 is undergoing restoration offsite as of 2023. Also as of 2023, DYRX #644 is operational as #6976 again and DYRX #231 is undergoing operational restoration. The rest of the equipment seen in this move is in good hands.

[@jacksalvin364]

Here's Sp&s FA locomotive #866

[@railfan101]

Awesome video bro! Love the whole consist, especially the UP painted tank car!

[@LongHoodKW]

@Barricade360 Actually, that unit is an SDF40-2, rebuilt Amtrak FP45s.

[@BWyrick]

What's going on with the 4449 and the 700 while this is happening?

[@shorttrackthing6919]

is that a southern pacific emd sd50

[@EMDSD14R]

awsome vid..very cool!!!

[@gordantad9085]

the bnsf had a sick horn

[@844Steamtrain]

@F40PHR231 Sure, no problem! Jordan got some footage too, hopefully he'll have it up soon.

[@JeffShultz]

Got to admit, that would have been a move to see... Are the 644 & 231 at the end in hopes of being able to bring them out independently if needed?

[@nyc3001]

The horn on the BNSF sounds like an RDC.

[@nikosjk1]

Why is the equipment being moved now? I though they had till sometime in 2012 to vacate the roundhouse?

[@northjerseytrains]

Awesome catch!

[@NEFeldman]

Former LIRR "Powerpack" 613 is in it which was a former Spokane unit! I see that FA is undergoing lots of TLC there!

[@freighttrainsahpassing9790]

I actually panned my camera into a shot of one of those Nickel Plate Road Engines at the end of one of my railfanning videos. I was shooting a freight train going west along Division St. in SE Portland, Oregon. The Engine was at the Oregon Rail Heritage Foundation !!!

[@FastFreightStudios]

1:13 Is that a daylight schemed engine that they never used on an excursion? If so why haven't they?

[@blackbirdgaming8147]

YourLocalRailfan Yes. That is a former Amtrak F40PH repainted into Daylight colors.

[@FastFreightStudios]

I could have much preferred that engine on 4449's excursions.

[@blackbirdgaming8147]

YourLocalRailfan You and everyone else except me. I would have liked to see Doyle try to lease the former Cascade Daylight E9 (She's currently at the CA State RR museum in Sacramento and operational as far as anyone knows. She doesn't get out much.) for excursions. Would be a bit more appropriate if you ask me since both are "actual" Daylight locos and probably ran at about the same time.

[@jeffdemition2308]

Blackbird Gaming thats owned by the california state railroad museum so there is no way that it would happend

[@308RoadReady]

How did they store all that equipment at the new facility where they house 4449 and 700? The place don't seem to be big enough for all the rolling stock and diesels

[@intermodalman123]

it was still a sf locomotive but sf painted the one seen here, a gp60 (146), and a set of well cars in the maersk scheme for promotional reasons. ns also painted a maersk unit (#3329)

[@adamhinkle7982]

Where is the last two locomotives??? I have seen the ALCO... but not the other two.

[@844Steamtrain]

adam hinkle The 644/231 are on display in Ogden, Utah: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iaCkdXlspcaZb5o

[@adamhinkle7982]

Cool, thank you 844Steamtrain​. A friend of mine showed me where the Alco and cars are. They are still on that siding.

[@Northwest_Railfan]

adam hinkle So the Alco is on the siding the 644 and 231 were on?

[@geomodelrailroader]

@@844Steamtrain they were moved to Nevada to the State Railroad Museum in Boulder because Dynamic Rail did not pay the bill and they were blocking an active UP siding that was needed for 844 and Big Boy to come into the museum.

[@OfficialSEIC2K6]

And now as of 2023, DYRX #644 is operational as #6976 and #231 is undergoing operational repairs and a repaint.

[@billporter9494]

query on the Daylight painted F59(?), and FP-45, I get the Daylight paint, looks kinda cool, but the powder blue War bonnet?, gettin' kinda floofy there?

[@jayjowers5530]

maresk shiping had a show loco with said paint

[@MrWolfSnack]

that's BNSF 6976 that Maersk paint scheme is rare! The 6976 is the ONLY locomotive in the world to ever wear that paint scheme. (The "rare principle": do and keep what is rarest.) This is the only preserved former Amtrak SDP40F locomotive (apart from the test bed unit EMD still apparently has)

[@shorttrackthing6919]

i ment emd sdf50

[@iggyjill]

Isnt the SDP40-2 a control cab unit? I heard it was redone to one when acquired.

[@catlover2368]

I love the BNSF horn

[@mikeday62]

It's the Stervley Steed Peeper express!

[@Kyle-cv2hj]

My friend was the one driving the BNSF Switcher 3613.

[@daylightbigboy]

Woah, an FA, what's the story behind that? Ex SP&S perhaps? Would love to see her going again.

[@TheDeputation]

i heard the steamers are being moved today are you going to capture it?

[@allanegleston13]

didnt get to see the discription as youtube loves to hide them now :( nice vid .

[@upheritage6]

yep

[@TrillBill]

Maersk freight company had they're own train unit?! :O I thought CSX was the only one

[@1940limited]

Anything that runs on rails is good. The consist is more interesting than what you usually see so the horn doesn't bother me much.

[@Millenniumforce]

Oh Wow!! The Orange Coach Car Reminds Me When In The 70's I rode the North Jersey Coastline from Bay Head To Newark in the vestibules in these cars. I love them. Beautiful Video!!

[@bnsfwarbonnet]

is that a Maersk F45 at the end

[@OfficialSEIC2K6]

No that's DYRX #644 an EMD SDP40F, not an F45.

[@oregonwesternrailroadprodu5239]

What type of horn dose that sw1000 have

[@TheDeputation]

when will it be up?

[@intermodalman123]

that is the BNSF maersk unit

[@andrewbethune5]

Former Amtrak EMD SDP40F #644

[@844Steamtrain]

already did

[@Northwest_Railfan]

Does anybody know what happened to the alco ? As far as I know it isn't at the ORHC

[@503railfan]

It is still in storage in NW portland here is where it is on google earth earth.google.com/web/@45.54703328,-122.71590531,19.54742706a,121.78946556d,35y,0h,0t,0r

[@TrillBill]

Whats the name of the blue and white train at the end?

[@geodeuce]

What City is this located?

[@4449steam]

ex-Amtrak SDP40F/BNSF Maersk SD40F-2

[@alexander1485]

shame you were on the shadow side a lot.

[@raymondleggs5508]

ScreeeeeeeeeCHHHHHH somebody oil those bearings and axles!

[@geomodelrailroader]

the temporary move did not work The Bloods got into the yard and smashed the locomotives that they had to move them to Utah.

[@abcinbc]

A few frames would be adequate, instead of redundant and repetative scenes of sameness. Lack of a descriptive monoloque overlay also detracts from this presentation. Sorry to be negative, but that is how this viewer feels.

[@rgsnidow1]

Get the jumper cables and a can of starting fluid and see if any of this junk runs...lol

[@Petemonster62]

What city is this in?
