The Lancaster and chester railroad in Lancaster SC owns 8784 now ive seen it paired with 8770 which is 2 of 4 SD60s they have ive filmed them several times love the AC6000s as well!!🤠🤠🤠

its a power move folks. they use 400 to send power from the south to Cumberland for PM and repairs.

Went to the archives for this, well worth it.

Fantastic filming, great work 🙏 Have a happy day 🌷

[@DirtyLilHobo]

There are multiple units but likely only two in actual use. The rest are just along for the ride transferring them to where they’re needed or for repairs. I used to select dynamic brake for those unused locomotives for the extra braking action unless they were tagged out of service.. BNSF engineer (retired)

[@BrooklynPerson30000]

Whoa! Acid trip at 7:00

[@carolsutton7828]

131 cars being pulled. Nice to let us see them long enough to count them. Nice video. hmmmm. I see a couple of others counted 129. Well darn, that means I am just going to have to watch the whole video again, aww shucks. ha ha love this video

Nice crew change! I'm hoping to catch a crew change someday in Nevada,Iowa on the Spine Line!!!

[@davidng2336]

A sight that can no longer be seen now that CSX got rid of their AC6000CWs

[@hakeemsd70m]

And their 60 Series EMD's have bit the dust too along with the AC60's, sadly. Railfanning CSX has never the same since..

[@davidng2336]

@Rusty Shackleford Unfortunately unlikely as all units have been repowered thanks to the 6000hp engine not doing its job right.

[@hungary191296]

[@AwesomeDesertTrains]

Will Hilliard how could you tell they were covered

[@hungary191296]

There's a white covering on the exhaust on the remaining engines.

[@hemipatton7799]

IF you look at least TWO of the C60AC's are NOT running only in tow, as the stacks are capped off!

[@AlikStansberry]

Classic AC6000s! They may have been a failure, but they sure won’t be forgotten! I also really like the yellow CSX logo they have on the sides.

[@BaltimoreAndOhioRR]

Same here, it's my fav csx logo!

[@FFred-us9tw]

They really weren't a failure. They were simply too powerful for the railroads needs which is why newer versions were never built. When i worked for CSX i ran the AC6000's all the time. Never had any issues. CSX ran them for a long time until they were worn out.

[@picturethisalso]

seems this train always has massive power . nice catch

[@CSXEMDTrainLover]

[@usm-4kagnew165]

I miss the old days when 8 banger consists were common fare & we used to change crews on the fly.

[@Henry5623]

You could make that argument for most things anymore honestly. Having spent almost 19 years working for UP (scary as that is to think about) I've seen a lot of changes over the years. Most of the changes are filed as safety improvements but in reality they aren't for the safety of the crews. It's simply to reduce crew/operational liabilities to the company. Hence why most of the ever changing rules we have to follow do little if anything to actually improve system wide performance. But rather just to micromanage you to death in an attempt to reduce crew liabilities to the company all the while stressing you more and more knowing you have to somehow work faster and safer yet with less and less freedom to do so because you have endless rule book traps trying to limit what you can and can't do. It makes my head hurt just thinking about it. Doubly so since we live in a day and age in the industry where you have to adapt to endless rule changes, yet any infraction is almost a guaranteed termination. I saw the writing on the wall long ago when DPU's were becoming more and more common. The industry is trying to get rid of us in every way that they can. Hence why we are being trained to be more robots then humans in this industry. There's a reason so few new people to the industry last for long. Most can't take it. Can't say I blame them.

[@gregbarker6292]

hey can anyone tell me what the lightening bolts stand for the singles and the double bolts?

[@BaltimoreAndOhioRR]

from what i understand, the bolts mean ac powered, and the double bolts were only put on the ac6000's with their unique paint scheme. but i could be wrong.

[@-zgizmo224-5]

wow, Im glad i came across this video. assuming all the power was running (it looks like some were not by the exaust caps) it would add up to 44,200 horsepower (6000 x6 + 4400 + 3800(sd60)) even without the 3 6000's its still an insane 26,200

[@BaltimoreAndOhioRR]

Yeah, obviously some were being transported, but that would be insane if all were running!

[@richardhill3531]

At 5:36 is that first gray car getting the most strain on it's couplings? I guess starting out slow is key in not to breaking any couplings. But is seems that that first gray car is currently under the most stress. Am I correct here? Thanks.

[@BaltimoreAndOhioRR]

the laws of physics would say the most strain is on the car closet to the engine, then getting less on each car going to the rear

[@sirmartinfrobisher]

BaltimoreAndOhioRR : but what about the shock load as the trains takes the slack out of the couplings as the strain builds up speed? Surely, as this occurs down the train, you are going to find the cars going from rest to forty mph in a metre?

this question is for anyone who knows about railroad work, when more than one unit is attached are there crew members on each of the units or just the lead unit?

[@BaltimoreAndOhioRR]

just the lead.

[@tylersneed1329]

There is times where crews are in the second unit as well

Why do train wheels make that high pitch squealing noise? I used to think you only heard it during braking (at 06:00mark)

its not the braking, its the wheel flanges scraping the rail

[@charlesdell2864]

How long are they on a locomotive before change? seem to have a lot of baggage. Are they regulated like truckers?.

[@gravelydon7072]

+Gary Plastek 12 hours max on duty and that includes any time waiting for a train to get in that they are crew for once they are on the books. 49CFR Chapter 211 covers it. When their time is up even out in the middle of nowhere it is known as " Going on the Law" or dying. The railroad then sends someone out to get the " dead " crew and delivering a replacement crew. Due to problems on the AutoTrain back in June, it got in late to Florence, SC. The crew went on the law a Satsuma FL. Just a little ways away from the Sanford AT terminal. But they were replaced with another crew and they knew it might happen before we got to Jacksonville FL. Only a 30 minute delay.

[@gravelydon7072]

+gravelydon And the trucking rules stem from the RR rules from as far back as 1907. Long before the CMV rules came in for trucks. Depending on the operations, the FRA can restrict service even more for passenger service.

[@randytierney2291]

12 hours shift. That is what I do

[@woohunter1]

Why are some of the engines backwards, never understood this?

[@EastCoast_RailFan]

Good question: Diesel-Electric locomotives are “bi-directional”, same amount of power is generated in either direction. It is more efficient to leave the locomotive(s) facing there original direction; rather than waste time and fuel to face another direction.

[@woohunter1]

CobraBoss 302 makes sense, thanks for the reply.

[@qymellkim8093]

beautiful location

[@BaltimoreAndOhioRR]

[@TZrailfaning]

How do you tell the difference between an ac4400cw and an ac6000? Do there wheels look different, do they sound different? Do they look different?

[@BaltimoreAndOhioRR]

the most easy way is that the 6000's had their logo painted differently. also you can tell by the road numbers.

[@TZrailfaning]

@@BaltimoreAndOhioRR ok thanks!

[@FFred-us9tw]

The easiest spotting feature was the "CSX" on the long hood was yellow and not blue and the cab had dual Lightning bolts vs the normal one. And then of course, the numbers. 600 series were the AC6000's. From the rear the MUCH larger radiators were an instant spotting feature.

Yes, generally the crews stay at a hotel and the end of their shift.
