[@struck2soon]

Great GE 4-stroke sounds.

[@SD457500]

They sound great, especially when lugging a heavy train. Thanks for the comment!

[@raulameca8650]

48 is Ex Frisco 864, Thank you for filming they sound awesome!

[@SD457500]

Glad you like them! These units look and sound neat, and their history is pretty cool too.

[@kouher4370]

I live in Minnesota and i see all alot of them

[@SD457500]

See a lot of the Minnesota Commercial?

[@keithwest2575]

Thanks. Thoroughly enjoyed.

[@SD457500]

Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for the comment!

[@lexpo181]

I love the coughing sound of those old GE's. Great video Douglas! ;)

[@SD457500]

You and me both; its so neat to still be able to hear and see these almost daily. Thanks for the kind comment!

[@RailPreserver2K]

Im glad to see some ex tti units getting a new chance at life.

[@SD457500]

You and me both; the TTI was such a neat operation. I have heard they still exist, but only operate as a transload RR these days.

[@matttrain3960]

I have never seen one of your videos before, but I might subscribe now. Great camera work and commentary!

[@SD457500]

Welcome aboard, and thank you for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed it. :D

[@andrewhayek6573]

GE's at there best multiple units on a heavy train and on a grade they sound great 👍

[@SD457500]

They sounds great working hard, and lugging a heavy train upgrade! Thanks for the nice comment!

[@rossrossier935]

Nice video. Any chance of a update where my old GBW Alcos are these days? thanx!!!

[@TimothyJazmineFamily]

Awesome 😎

[@SD457500]

Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for watching!

[@matthewrinehart9514]

Checker board frame rail reminds me of gbw. Excellent video😊

[@wildbill9919]

I like older GEs such as U boats, Dash 7s, and standard cab Dash 8s.

[@SD457500]

You and me both! They look neat, sound cool, and overall have a neat look to them. Thanks for watching!

[@RandomRailfan828]

Great shots man, what cool little railroad! I’ll have to check it out if I’m ever in the area!

[@steventurner820]

Love seeing those old GEs, though too bad the Alcos are going. I like 48 with those red number boards

[@kennyt1674]

Wow

[@SD457500]

It was neat!

[@Runt3132]

Going up to Minneapolis next month. What is the usual schedule/operating practices of the MC and what are some good places to catch the action?

[@SD457500]

Good Morning! I would suggest checking out the Minnesota Commercial and Minnesota Railroads FB page. Typically, most jobs go on duty at or around 0700 each day. During the week, the Hugo works Tues (0700), Thurs (0700), and Sun (0900). During the week, M-F, the Belt Job should go to work at 0700. This also applies to the Hennepin Job, but that only runs M-W-F. Hope this helps!

[@chuckhalen9543]

76 has that MoPac blue color to it. Surprised it was a previous Seaboard locomotive.

[@SD457500]

Its still wearing its former TTI paint, and I hope so for quite a while longer. Its a nice change compared to the normal Minnesota Commercial Red.

[@osrr6422]

Sad the Alco's are starting to fall.

[@SD457500]

Its an all GE railroad now; all of their ALCo's are dead, drained, and waiting to be sold/sent to a new owner.

[@buecomet831]

Honestly I hope they just repaint her with the blue and white and just add the Minnesota Commercial logo on it.

[@SD457500]

Some classy Minnesota Commercial lettering in place of a full paint job would be pretty neat!

58 is missing part of it's radiator grills. I feel like those should be looked at

[@traingp7]

What's missing from the roof of the Dash 8? Is it a screen cover or a section of radiator.

[@TrainmasterGT]

Do you know what kind of horn #48 is packing?

[@JamesWellman-hk2zl]

Does that mean the rsd17 is scrapped
