[@LibertyRailfan]

Nice video man I liked that Defect detector at 2:02

[@SelkirkSubRailFilms]

+Liberty Railfan Productions Thanks!!

[@kristiebeals3]

was there any coal in the hoppers?

[@SelkirkSubRailFilms]

They had either ballast or coal in them, I'm not sure.

[@AgrarfilmeNorddeutschland]

Great video, and amazing engine. Thanks for posting!

[@eman7579]

Do you know who was operating that train? My dad worked for d&h at the saratoga yard

[@SelkirkSubRailFilms]

No I’m not sure, it was a Saratoga and North Creek crew

[@eman7579]

SelkirkSubRailFilms ah

[@kristiebeals3]

geese that looks creepy when its shooting out flames

[@irelandbloke]

Wow, awesome shots ! 👍🏻

[@ECRV]

[@SelkirkSubRailFilms]

TransportationGuy101 Thanks man! I'll PM you the info

[@ECRV]

SelkirkSubRailFilms Great! On where exatly?

[@SelkirkSubRailFilms]

TransportationGuy101 I sent it as a personal message to your channel.

[@JoshuaTheTransitProdigy]

**Subscriber #1,810** Very beautiful! I love it and boy that train was on fire!

[@railroadmike6843]

That locomotive was hardly struggling with that tiny train, they might want to fix the injecton issues before they cook the turbo.

[@Maine_Railfan]

Those were loaded ballast cars, which I am not sure the particular weight, but are a lot of tonnage for just one unit.

[@TimWhiteRailProductions]

The fuel wasn’t burning properly so it caught fire in the turbo no harm done to the crew or locomotive just some fuel being on fire out of turbos it is very common for that to happen

[@tafgull53]

Wow I just love you big big Diesels we got smaller Locos here in the UK but Hi you guys Build some Awesome Locos

[@urbaninterfaceliving4273]

no last car transponder when they were backing up .

[@shininghappyperson7]

wow! No other units around to help?

[@SelkirkSubRailFilms]

***** I heard the rest of their power was broken in North Creek.

[@shininghappyperson7]

Yikes, thats no good!

[@elite_codedogg056]

Plus SNC only had one freight like locomotive they had a BL 2 but with so few ever made y risk the chance of breaking it. Then they also have 2 passenger trains that are most likely from Amtrack so this is basically all they had to haul the coal trucks with

[@dukctape]

@@elite_codedogg056 An F40PH is perfectly capable of hauling freight as well

[@CSXO721PRODUCTIONS]

Why was it red not black

[@TrainManProductionsofficial]

its fire

[@SelkirkSubRailFilms]

Dylan Scott What was red? Thanks for watching.

[@CSXO721PRODUCTIONS]

why did fire come out of it

[@TrainManProductionsofficial]

Because its a GE, just kidding. may be fuel in the exhaust, that's my guess

[@CSXO721PRODUCTIONS]

lol that is possible

[@martonify]

Did he tell you to get of the radio?

[@class8866]

Yes !

[@BenjaminEsposti]

WOW, good GE chugging action! They better get that fixed soon, seems to me like excess oil or something is in the turbo, or there is a fueling problem (or a turbo problem lol).

[@richarddegus8227]

Great photo. Like the snow. Struggles is right

[@MeBallerman]

Don't they have emission laws in the USA? This would certainly not be allowed in my country.

[@domrus8144]

Where did the hoppers comes from? Are they from CP?

[@SelkirkSubRailFilms]

Dominick Russell I think they are from the Vermont Railway but I'm not 100% sure.

[@elite_codedogg056]

They were from CP

[@09JDCTrainMan]

What kind of diesel was that?

[@BenjaminEsposti]

+09trainman A Stiesel! .... haha just kidding XD It's a GE locomotive, looks to be a dash-8 to me. These locos are known for smoking it up like this XD

[@JoshsTrainVideos]

Pardon the late reply, but it looks to be a GE B39-8E.

[@EdmontonRails]

A GE not older than 30 years running worse than a 60 year old EMD.

[@indiarail325]

Very nice video;)

[@SelkirkSubRailFilms]

+indiarail Thanks!

[@haroldreardon8070]

Flames out of the stack on a GE is not uncommon, happens on EMDs also. Means its working wide open or close to it and has a load on it.

[@SelkirkSubRailFilms]

Yes but still cool to see and especially on a railroad that very rarely runs freight.

[@H3avyHaul3r]

you can get a ge to do that by notching up then backing off...then notching up again...too easy

[@shariys1]

I love the smell of BBQ'ed turbo in the morning ....

[@pkranz937]

shariys1 Nothing wrong with turbo ...

[@joewood1335]

what were they hauling

[@SelkirkSubRailFilms]

Joey Wood I heard that it was coal.

[@MaineCentral114]

Nice!!!

[@SelkirkSubRailFilms]

MaineCentral114 Thanks!

[@MaineCentral114]

Your welcome!!!

[@waiyanhung8326]

This engine is diesel pump problems please change diesel pump .

[@waiyanhung8326]

Andthen change MTU V16 or V20 Twin power Turbo Diesel engine .

[@EdmontonRails]

And CN's GP9's , some of which turn 60 this year are still running after a rebuild. It sucks that the EPA (thank god Trump is dealing with them) forced EMD to dump their 2 stroke engines, originally built for the D-day landing craft.

[@fiddlyphuk6414]

Yep - TRUMP 2020. Throw the libs under the Trump Train again.

[@allanegleston13]

damn still cams ruined it for me.

[@cats0182]

SNC was a "sad-sack" operation. Thankfully it folded.
