Great Northern 325 Returns to the Rails! -Rare SDP40-

[@Trains-With-Shane]

Now that's a beautiful consist and an engineer who knows how to put on an impressive show for the cameras!

[@SD457500]

It was a neat, and fun sight on this photo charter. The smoke show was an added bonus!

[@andydickson5400]

Very nice video, the 325 looks great in her new paint.

[@SD457500]

I think so too, and it matches the passenger cars very well. Thank you for watching!

[@ShawnCalay-hi6gy]

It could be a him .....

[@EltonInott]

great video very well done

[@SD457500]

Thank you very much! Glad that you enjoyed it!

Fascinating how conditions changed during the runbys on the bridge. That first shot with the fog was very atmospheric (plus the graffiti wasnt so conspicuous).

[@SD457500]

Yes is was, and the change in conditions happened over the course of about 45 minutes. It was amazing see the sun slowly burn it off, and blue skies emerge.

I loved the history lesson about this scenic railroad. Ive always wanted to go there but always make the trip to Duluth for the longer ride on NSSR.

[@SD457500]

Glad you enjoyed it! They are fun to ride on, and the track is in good shape too. Thank you for watching!

[@innercityprepper]

great shots!

[@SD457500]

Glad that you enjoyed it, and thank you for watching!

Awesome 💚👌👏👍

Spectacular video Douglas! The entire train looks great. So glad the 325 has returned to its original paint scheme.

[@SD457500]

I'm happy to hear you enjoyed it! I am happy to see the 325 back in those GN colors; it looks great with the other cars.

[@StormySkyRailProductions]

Great footage! That is a beautiful train set! I saw some great photos posted online of it also. - Jenny

[@SD457500]

Thank you very much, and glad you enjoyed it! This matching trainset looked great, and right out of the GN era.

[@StormySkyRailProductions]

You're welcome!

[@dave6695]

Great to see a rare EMD back riding the rails. Some fake (aka: cosmetic) vents and exhaust on the long hood end would have been a nice way to complete the look of the unit as an SDP40.

[@SD457500]

Its great to see it plying the rails again! What vents are you talking about with the exhaust?

[@rossrossier935]

Nice work 👍!!!

[@SD457500]

Thank you!! Great to hear that you enjoyed watching it. :D

[@OfficialSEIC2K6]

Great Northern #325 back home in Omaha Orange and Pullman Green to match their Great Northern passenger cars in their collection. Thats a good video. Great Northern #325 is my favorite locomotive at MTM. She's a beauty. You did a good chase.

[@SD457500]

It looks fantastic with the matched train, and fall colors. Glad you enjoyed the video, and thanks for watching!

[@minnesotarailfan11]

Kind of wish they painted into the original blue and black but it still looks great. Nice video keep it up

[@SD457500]

I know a lot of people fell/felt that way with the BSB, me included. However, it looks great with a matching trainset, and goes well with the other passenger cars. Thank you for watching!

[@sernajrlouis]

Awesome video

[@SD457500]

Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for watching!

[@josephcipar3666]

Great video, thanks for posting. I have a still pix of an SDP40 leading a BN freight on the Q in Westmont, but it was in Big Sky Blue. Don't know the number offhand.

[@SD457500]

Very cool! Be interesting to see if it happened to be the 325.

[@richnunn49]

With all the smoke from the engine, it almost looked like a steam locomotive.

[@SD457500]

That engine would put up some nice exhaust now and then!

[@mackdoyle8673]

I'm going to a train ride in october at Osceola Wisconsin

[@SD457500]

I hope you enjoy the fall colors; its a great ride!

[@mackdoyle8673]

@@SD457500 Thanks and it sure is

[@brucejordan972]

Aah yes James Hill will be pleased.!! bj gn fan.

[@SD457500]

I think he would be too! It looks sharp, and right at home with those passenger cars. Thanks for watching!

[@rimodeler7963]

Fantastic video and a beautiful consist. The 325 looks great in the GN scheme. Well done! Mike

[@SD457500]

Thank you very much! This was a fun event, and neat line to shoot on.

[@trainknut]

I’ll forgive them for depriving us of Big Sky Blue and Cascade Green if and when I see her paired with the Hustle Muscle.
