GRAFFITI ON ENGINE, POWER MOVES, WRAPPED NATIONAL RAILWAY ENGINE, BNSF 7695 GOLDEN SWOOSH! NS 8022

[@imightormightnot]

Everytime i see the heritage units of CSX, i smile a little to myself!! Great job Waycross!!😊😊😊😊

[@donnaj9964]

Loved the contrasts between the horse-drawn wagon, the automobiles and that big engine! That Golden Swoosh is always good, and that Chessie locomotive looked so sharp. But I didn't think that engines ever sat anywhere long enough to get tagged; that was a shame...Thanks for another great one!

[@the-terrible63]

Wow! Excellent catching all the trains in multiple locations, especially the military trains, Heritage Units, and so much more, @Virtual Railfan, thank you very much and have a wonderful week.

2:00: AT&L, formerly PREX 1600, a GP16. Built in 1952 as a GP7 for the Clinchfield RR.

The New York Central makes me sad, but I LOVE seeing it!

[@TsalagiRailfan]

That ??? unit in Austell is a GP16, a rebuild of either a GP7, GP9, or GP18. ATL 1600, ex-CSX, ex-SCL. I'd argue the SD40E (rebuilt SD50) in front of it is almost as rare. I was there in Austell, recording that train when it went by.

Why can't they stop , graffiti on trains? Great videos,always learning something new.

[@SRF1978]

As much as they ruin you would figure they'd bump up security. But they would play the were short handed card.

[@jamesmckenzie3532]

It takes a lot of security to cover every yard where locos and cars are parked. That cuts into profits and the taggers are causing no physical damage to equipment.

[@juliencooper177]

I heard many 10 or 15 years ago that one loco got away for a short while, two men who got caught. I think that's why there's little graffiti on locos, people may come to joyride instead. This video is the first time I saw that, possible there are some few looking like professional paint schemes and if so, they likely are the works of people with a cess to resources, someone posted those painted as heritage. Anyhow, it's not good seeing graffiti on anything unless it is permitted by whoever owns what gets painted and is not offensive too. Maybe graffiti artists need to apply for the jobs and follow the lines of the company liveries and put their graffiti on canvas in frames.

[@jamesmckenzie3532]

@@juliencooper177 When UP parked 350 locos on the Pantano spur, quite a few of them were "decorated". UP hired a security company to stop this. It cost so much that UP eventually moved all the engines elsewhere.

The Locomotive at 2:02 appears to be a GP9, I'm unsure of the railroad, though it's paint job is similar to that of the Nickle Plate. Walthers has a model of this locomotive, though it doesn't seem to have much info besides that its leased.

[@TsalagiRailfan]

GP16, SCL rebuild of either a GP7, GP9, or GP18. Also ex-CSX. The Walthers models are of the GP9M, which was a similar rebuild program to the GP16. I believe either Conrail or Santa Fe as opposed to SCL.

1:09, Hello BNSF conductor from BNSF 8156!

[@juliencooper177]

Yeah, security is everywhere and expensive, often not well trained. May seem okay to most of us where this security was at until we all pay for it one way or another and or loose companies to such costs we can't pay for. Maybe if more of us just leave other people and their property alone, we'll see less uniforms and more of what they obstruct. And yes, it's good UP moved them, possibly cheaper to keep until they get found again if that happens. Let's hope that if they do get found it's not joyriders though. That one which got the tiger graffiti mentioned in this message thread, I haven't seen it, probably the coolest. However, if I could do that, I'd ask companies, pitch the idea and possibly take a sizeable paycheque in return for the work. It's not all that bad if it's respectful to both the owners and the viewers. I don't know if that was permitted work or actual graffiti from what I read in these messages.
