GE Hulks and Erie Plant Switchers *Drone Video*

[@garysnider4305]

What an industry! Your drone coverage really gives us a comprehensive of that facility. Thanks once more.

[@victormioduszewski4729]

Great video..one thing I got out of this..by subscribing and watching more of your videos..Thanks..

[@chuxproductions1090]

Totally enjoyed watching the GE-Swither/Tonner #21 moving the frames around!!! Great footage! I subscribed to your channel!

[@BNSFBishop]

Incredible footage, I enjoyed looking at this! I always wondered how Erie looks from above. Makes me regret not videoing my trip to Paducah and Mayfield.

[@mattygunn693]

Thanks man, I appreciate it! Thia is one location I'm glad I have a drone for, I just wish the drive wasn't so boring lol. Hopefully one day you can return there and film it. 🙂

[@Railfan-uf9mw]

Aw man it hurts me to see all these classic golden age era of the 90s and late 90s and 2000 locomotives to be scrapped or replaced or rebuild

[@lnproductions3227]

Very neat video here! Love the Drone Tour of the Plant very neat to see the original GE locomotive plant. Very neat finds here too like that one CSX/WNYP Patched AC6000CW, several Ex-UP C44-9Ws, Some Ex-BNSF H2 C44-9Ws, and several YN2 AC4400CWs for CSX. That one Ex-LTEX nee NS SD40-2 which appears to have been converted to an SD23-T4 "Genset" was a really neat find. Also really like some of those Prototype units like GECX 809 the demo B40-8W, along with some Demo GEVC units and GECX 3000 basically a Battery GEVO. Really neat video here, have a great day!

This is the perfect industry to model for those who have more engines than common sense. 😀

And switches!

Amazing RR complex, your videos take us to interesting venues, many thanks

[@sandysmithvideos228]

Terrific video, thanks for posting.

[@roydrink]

A SW-1? Wow!

[@mattygunn693]

Yessir, and only the second one I've seen in operation!

[@P.Rack25]

Great catch Matty!

[@annettelaurence5716]

I saw a UK class 70 Freightliner locomotive, Do we have a rail tunnel under the Atlantic? Thank you for making and sharing your videos, much appreciated this side of the pond!🙃😉

[@mattygunn693]

Thanks for watching!

[@Musicman45612]

as far as the tunnel, i have no idea. but as far as the foreign locomotive that class 70 has been in the states for a while as far I I can tell

[@gone1098]

Wow! Excellent video!

[@mattygunn693]

Thank you!

[@williamorton7600]

I agree...either rebuild/overhaul, or recycle. I served on three old nuke subs, and they all operated 30+ years. Once out of fuel at end of life, they were recycled. Maybe the locomotive design is not matched to the engine lifecycle because there seems to be a ton worn out locos in "storage." I guess recycling also cost $, and is lowest priority for the class 1s.

[@tfs4499]

Great catch!

@@tfs4499 Thanks!

[@davidstrawn9272]

So.. Some of the former CSX AC6000CWs (my favorite Diesel of CSX) were at Wabtec, huh? Interesting.. if one AC6000CW was preserved in Lake Shore Museum, then hopefully one of them or two might have a chance to be preserved and also hopefully one will get repainted into CSX YN2 livery (with Yellow CSX lettering) before the preservation!

Amazing! Beatiuful video, greetings 🚂👍🔔

Excellent video my friends awesome 😊

[@TrainFan119]

Ironic to see a EMD sw1 and mp36’s at a GE facility

[@zacharycalgher3978]

I see former Amtrak P40DC 805 at 13:56

[@amtk821]

Doesn't look like it's being worked on right now, but hopefully they do something with it eventually. Even stuffed and mounted at a museum would be better than rusting away, especially since we've just seen that there's at least some demand for the LTEX P40s.

[@andyknott8148]

I see the former FL Class 70 is still alive and well. They may want it back soon.

[@HJDore]

I can see Colas being more interested than FL, that’s if they could as 012 is an insurance write off, and I’m surprised Colas haven’t yet put an additional order in for more 70’s

[@andyknott8148]

@@HJDore I was told this afternoon, that it was made runable, but would need a lot more work to get to pass for main line running. Probably not worth the effort.

[@HJDore]

@@andyknott8148 oh she's definitely in running condition as she's frequently used by GE to drag new and refurbished locos round the test track. Issue is, as I say, because they claimed it on insurance as a write-off they can't sell it.

[@briank.8925]

WNYP 6003 that starred in a video of yours.

[@mattygunn693]

Four to be exact, but who's counting lol 😎

[@thesouthsiderailfan9201]

Are both MP36's getting fixed soon?

[@rickdee67]

What locomotive is that chassis in the opening shots? Amazing footage!

[@KidTrainCollector]

Why are the WNYP C46CW at Erie plant?

[@mattygunn693]

WNYP's getting rid of their GE fleet. Due to recent changes in traffic, they no longer need them.

[@RichardKroboth]

Very interesting video. Any idea if those stripped frames are going to be used for remanufactering an upgraded unit?

[@mattygunn693]

Thank you! Yep, I do believe that's what those chassis are being used for.

[@jims6323]

That was excellent! It's damn near impossible to get up close, outside the fence, believe me, I've tryed!
