Nice collection of classic locomotives!

[@graphtonix6607]

Thank you very much. And thanks for watching.😊😊😊👍👍👍

Ex Amtrak Genesis 801 is being rebuilt at the GE Wabtec Relco shops in Albia Iowa.

And it’s being repainted in Keewatin Railway colors.

Could do without the buzzfeed music

you can always hit the mute button...

Could do without your comment 😂

[@calvingrondahl1011]

I like the music, a feeling of happiness over these lucky few preserved locomotives.

[@graphtonix6607]

Thank you very much.

[@Amtrak09]

None were preserved, these are either storage lines or deadlines. These locomotives are being stripped down for parts. Once they are just bases with nothing else remaining, they will be scrapped.

[@Trainboy3982]

Not gonna lie LTEX has quite the collection of locomotives

[@graphtonix6607]

Sady that is where my favorite Amtrak F40PH was scrapped. The spacific F40PH being unit 275.😢😢😢😢😢

[@Trainboy3982]

@@graphtonix6607 dang RIP 275

[@OfficialSEIC2K6]

B&O #8595 is there too after CSX sold it there by mistake. It's probably in the sea of dead locomotives awaiting an uncertain fate. We should probably notify LTEX that #8595 was meant to go to the B&O Railroad Museum not LTEX.

How does this “music“ in any way compliment the cool train pictures being shown?

[@graphtonix6607]

Because the song is awesome!!!!!

I had to turn down my volume to what ever garbage music you had playing. Neat lineup of locomotives though

[@graphtonix6607]

Thank you.

[@trainwatcher1976Lolz]

This song is probably from 2016

[@rottenroads1982]

All those locomotives, waiting in line for either 1 of 3 purposes: 1. To be converted to run on Bio-Diesel & other renewable sources of Fuel. 2. To be changed from Diesel to Electric. 3. To be Scrapped.

Hoping that the Ex BN E9's get rescued from LTEX's Macdonald, Ohio facility.

[@graphtonix6607]

Me too I heard that they were very famous on the BNSF racetrack back in the 1980'S and 1990'S.

[@DaimosZ]

@@graphtonix6607 Yeah they probably have my favorite E Unit paint job. They also were among the last streamliners in daily operation in the US. Which makes me hope at least one of LTEX's E units gets preserved since I know that of the 4 that they have some aren't in the best shape.

LTEX! STOP TAKING ALL THE GOOD ENGINES!

You should do diesel locomotives of Gecx (without the buzzfeed music)

[@iBackshift]

Great pictures, but the music....ugh. had to mute.

[@shawnwright4129]

What engine is the oldest and what is the average age of these? Just curious. Enjoyed the video!

[@graphtonix6607]

Thanks for watching. I would say that the EMD E9AM from BN and Metra are the oldest diesel electric locomotive.

Yeah CSX 8595 was the last B-O sd50-2 built it was supposed to get in a museum but CSX screwed up and Accidentally sold it to Ltex

Those locomotives should be Reproduce and rebuilt

[@lindsayhall7366]

Maybe a rebuilt for a few of there locos but they are never gonna need reproduce because railroads love gevos and crap but maybe a shortline would like these locos
