Great video. The ALCOs that EL runs what horsepower are they as they seem to use a lot of them on each train?? Love the sound of the ALCO diesel engines when they power up..

[@railroadstuff]

They are between 2000HP to 3600HP just need alot of engines dues to a heavy grade.

[@sinatralerby7545]

[@UTubeGlennAR]

:) Thanks of Catching n Posting, Great Vid with out Question.................... :}

[@amtrak713productions8]

Why do some of them look like they have split fuel tanks

[@SDRP_4406]

How many trains does DL run a week?

[@MNpolarbear]

Looking for more alco's? Try Minnesota commercial railway Minneapolis, Minnesota

[@williamh.jarvis6795]

They also have the CP Rail M636CAT (formerly numbered as CP 4711, now 71), with a Caterpillar prime mover installed in it. Mr. Scott Whitney has a video of it, in CP Rail paint, titled: CAT ON THE HILL, posted here on KZbin. Approximately 1/2 hour long. The Caterpillar's prime mover supposedly runs around twice the RPM of its former ALCO prime mover, and utilizing antifreeze as a coolant instead of using water. Sounds definitely different! It's exhaust stack has also been relocated, so to suit this prime mover, towards the cab on the Engineer's side.

[@elperroazul9992]

Wide cab ALCos? They had wide cabs in the 60s or what? I thought only GP38-2s and GP40-2s etc had a comfort cab.

[@1575murray]

Those M420W's were built in Canada by Montreal Locomotive Works who had the rights to continue building Alco designed engines after the US company stopped production in 1969. Most of the M420W's were built for CN between 1973-1977. They had different trucks than US C420's as well and were one of the first wide cab locomotive designs.

[@paulwarner5395]

Thanx . I was wondering that myself..

[@victoriacyunczyk]

Maybe D-L will run freight over the rebuilt Lackawanna Cutoff in the future.

[@evankolb8705]

Victor Cyunczyk the cuttoff is only going to Andover and they have been talking for decades to connect it back to slateford so it doesn't seem possible. If there were freight running most likely NS or Morristown and Erie will do the job because the cuttoff is ending at Andover.

[@ronstrulic4388]

The cutoff will never be reopened. The opportunity was missed 25 years ago.

[@GoseiGuyProductions]

New Jersey Transit will and will be reopening the stations in Tobyhanna, Anamolink, East Stroudsburg and Blairstown and will be opening new stations in Scranton (The original will still be used as the Radisson hotel), Pocono Mountain, Delaware Water Gap (The original will still be used for Steamtown and will be a mile west from it) and Andover

[@tommyhunter1817]

And jointed rail to boot.

[@daniellaubach8412]

Love the sound of jointed rail at speed. Reminds me of the days watching the Erie Lackawanna on the Bloomsburg branch with these Alco's doing their job haulin freight down the line back in the 60's!

[@williamschenold7056]
