[@tooling_engineer]

At the 16:13 mark why are 2 crewmen running to get onboard?

[@Trains21]

One was the NS engineer. The other was a DL crewman.

What is the name of the junction where you show K79 at 15:06? Trying to find it on GEarth

[@jeffmurphree2937]

What type of units are the old locomotives and how old are they?

[@trezjr73]

Challengers on the D&H didn't travel below Carbondale due to weight restrictions on the bridges.

[@Trains21]

Interesting

Hey AC why are the rock sand cars so much smaller than grain hoppers?

[@babayaga2977]

Because sand is much more dense than grain. Less volume makes up full load limit of the cars.

Are they Canadian built alco C424 the first locomotive has different trucks,

[@Alco16-251F]

The first engine 2045 was definitely Canadian built. That was built as an MLW M420 series locomotive. The other Canadian built engines were 3000 amd 3643, 3000 being a MLW C630M and 3643, being a M636. The other engines were American built Alco C425s.
