LOCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Hi😊

[@Micheal_Jackson_Official]

Common TheWinnipegRailfan W love the dash 8s 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@buccaneerrailfanning1776]

Thanks for featuring my video 2:14

[@SPRailfan4449]

The Dash-8’s will always be a fan favorite amongst Railfans. So it’s sad that most are being replaced. I’m happy that some are getting preserved or sent to Class 2/3 railroads. Great video dude. ❤️👍🏻😎

[@NorfolkandWestern1]

Wsg dude

[@wagrtrains]

Glad us West Aussies got a mention in this video. We still have a few surviving Pilbara cab locomotives with at least two Dash 8s surviving the scrappers torch and some Alcos. Sadly the preservation society in the Pilbara hasn't operated in ages as the population isn't sufficient to keep up the condition of the locomotives.

i was a switchman for the chicago and northwestern... the CNW bought the SD50/60s brand new for powder river coal service... they BOMBED out... CNW then tested some C-40-8s... they liked the dash 8s performance and bought a slew of them

um theres bnsf

[@SouthernMaineFoamer]

I like to call where I find trains “Dash 8 Country”. Not only a reference to Mogul Country but also the fact Pan Am had a good chunk of Dash 8s and a lot are still running. They’re like my GEVO in a way and that’s why I like them. Some may hate them but they’re one of, if not, my favorite diesel locomotives.

[@jessekeith9847]

This is a good tribute since hardly any exist in late 2024

[@kevinbaker4241]

A couple of years ago, I was on Amazon looking for a railroad-themed square pillowcase to use in my man cave. The one that caught my attention featured CN C40-8 2125 (probably one of the ex-C&NW/UP units that CN acquired). I ended up buying two of them, and they are still on the couch in my man cave to this day. That's one way to pay tribute to the Dash 8 units, in my opinion.

[@jerrysimon793]

Awesom footage of the dash 8 never get tired of watching these locomotives

[@isaiahcromarty5134]

Yoooooo there's my photo at 5:33. Awesome video!

[@F40M07]

I love the Dash 8! This video is pretty sweet!!

[@Track_Side]

2:03 nice to see my clip! Great video!

[@BNSFrailfan01]

Awesome video!! The Dash 8s are definitely some of my favorite diesel locomotives of all time.

[@RDC2003]

My favorite locomotive. glad CSX still has a handful of operational ones. seen a few in Maine, where they tend to reside (new england in general).

[@WJP1361]

Sad to see the D8s go luckily my local short line which is G&W owned has a handful of ex CSX D8s.

[@ZombieSlayer-dj3wb]

Ahh the cowls , memories of my childhood

[@CP8720productions]

6:55 BCOL 4609 is my favorite engine of all time!

[@metalheadrailfan]

You can see the video on my channel, but when I was alerted that Santa Fe 552 was placed on the BNSF OCS headed to Topeka last month, I bolted trackside to wait for it. There was no way I was letting that slip under my nose. There's also another pair of ex-Santa Fe units being used in transfer duties out of Argentine Yard, so I'm gonna get those as much as I can.

[@ColbyGrants]

CN 2100, a standard cab dash 8 has been kept at CN's walker yard in Edmonton for quite some time now, albeit not in service

[@TheRuralRailfanner]

were tributing to the dash 8 of shame with this one🔥

[@labradorite8760]

as a labradorian i love seeing the QNS&L getting the recognition it deserves

[@labradorite8760]

i only got to see the 3 dash 8's for about a year seeings they got scrapped in 2016. i was pretty young so i dont remember them that well unfortunately. (im also getting a HO scale rapido model of one of them)

[@Thenumbersthatareodd]

I would love to see a widecab dash 8 and a dash 8 standard cab. 2466 and probably like uhh, Cn 2134. That'll be cool!

[@BN_GP39]

You never thought we would notice @Locopro’s video in there.

[@AmtrakFlareon]

It’s sad to see these engines go. Great video btw❤

[@MattTheAllertor125]

Those are the greatest nostalgic workhorses for those railroads who bought them but now... they are still in the process of fading away and their future is unknown but atleast they still have more years until they are finally gone.. just what happened?! These were part lf making up my childhood.. but now they are disappearing..

[@transportsaucanada2844]

CN has storage of many Dash-8 and Dash-9 on the network at different locations only the future will tell us if it will come back into service one day. It all depends on the economy.

[@CentralManitobaRailfan]

top 10 dash 8

[@RAtheGoodRailfanner_888]

The class 1 railroads could care less if they have to get rid of their remaining dash 8s but for class 2s and 3s they can’t afford to usually lose any engines so these small railroads will keep the dash 8 rolling, hopefully for another decade or 2.

[@protosheep]

8:46 B&E!!!! HELL YEAH!!!

[@TrainsOfNewEngland]

other half of the pan am sale is now dry af (except waterville for some reason 😭😭)

[@Thenumbersthatareodd]

My fav varient is the c40-8w

[@amtrak713productions8]

Amtrak actually classifies its genesis locomotives as p42-8

[@TheRealJazz359]

this video is so very awesome sauce so far 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@oehttheidiot]

we love dash 8s oh yes we do

[@theconceptualist8626]

Look at the little baby foamer!

[@TheRealJazz359]

[@sernajrlouis]

[@SamLovesTrains]

Helllll yeahhhh

[@railfanningjay]

Imagine a dash 8 rebuild program

[@RAtheGoodRailfanner_888]

That happened Bnsf B40-8Ws. And ns C40-8ws and Csx upgraded 10 of their C40-8Ws.

[@LourdesReynoso-x7p]

I like your content, and you funny too

[@JustATeenageRailfan]

*IC 2461 is also a training unit

[@FallenFlagFoamer]

Where?

[@JustATeenageRailfan]

@ CN training campus in Canada CN 2124 and IC 2466 are also used by the training campus but they are at the one in homewood

[@Straight2_Offical]

@FallenFlagFoamerhomewood, Illinois

[@Lordbillystrains]

@@JustATeenageRailfan 2466 is in long time storge hasn't been used in 2 years and i was at homewood 3 weeks ago same spot for 2 years

[@JustATeenageRailfan]

@ IK lol I’m posting this from the homewood station lol it’s technically in storage but they have used it for training purposes

[@VCRR1560]

Was surprised they restored the atsf b40-8w ngl

[@TheOklahomaHotrail]

My video is at 8:54 with the mash tater quality. In my defense, i had to drag it off Facebook XD

Hi The Winnipeg Railfan & it's is Randy and i like yours video is Cool & Thanks The Winnipeg Railfan & Friends Randy

[@Cnw8701]

C36-8 was the first six-axle model, not the C32-8.

[@OntarioRails]

dash 8 C6M rebuild program thingy when

[@mamarussellthepie3995]

Rip -8s Big old DASH9S ARE NEXT (O)_(O)

[@RAtheGoodRailfanner_888]

AC44s eventually then AC60s don’t forget Oldest GEVOs too SD70MACs will be in the middle of older Gevos and AC44s. The YN2 will be gone one day. I think the Santa Fe scheme or H1 could be complete vanished but not for another decade or 2 maybe.

[@PascackValleyandMainline]

8:32 what is that thing on the right

[@GrandOvertureLaughter]

I thought you meant the centennial but now I see that like squished cn thing and I'm asking the same thing.

[@kalelharrison2162]

Stupid ass 570 triple -8 will live forever

[@omerolopez9741]

I like my Dash 8's preserved bruh

[@Mr.CTP_Here_Now]

Is anyone here talking about the p40dc featured at 2:35

[@CRR7609]

I love it.

[@CPKCrailfan]

Also mlw did not make the hr 616 it was bombardier (unless mlw made them before being bought by bombardier

[@Straight2_Offical]

If you do a dash 9 your set for Atleast 30 minutes

[@RAtheGoodRailfanner_888]

The dash 9 is only 20-31 years old.

[@doncasternorth]

and sooner or later the 9wls are next

[@rocketswarn82]

I see my name in the credits (Rose Hayward) but it doesn't look like you used any of the pictures I sent in, unless I'm blind and completely missed them which is possible

[@ZombieSlayer-dj3wb]

21:44 thats not a bad spot to railfan but lately homeless people been around there

[@Elliottblancher]

Ahh yes, the absolute shitbox HR616

[@BattleshipOrion]

The b40-8's are a favorite, however the rest IMO are garbage looking.

[@CPKCrailfan]

IMO the p40s p42s and p32s aren’t dash 8s

[@GamingRailfanner]

CN Bad
