Super like. I was at the Lahaska station on Tuesday just to take some clicks. Most of my life in the area, I never took this train. I suppose I should. Looks like great fun!

I'm from Philly, have lived in FL for 30+ years. On July 5th, I will be meeting some old friends and we are going on this train. Can't wait! Even a bad train ride is better than a good bus ride! Great video!

its to tell the crew that the signals are working properly and if the light is completely out before they get to the crossing signals that means there is a melfunction and they must flag the crossing and this is according to FRA (Federal Railroad Administration Rules and Laws). Hope this helps you out as i have been around this hobby for 18 years

What type the horn is it? Sounds good to me.
@PennRailVideos10 жыл бұрын
1963 Leslie S3L. It is actually the horn that originally came off of the New Hope's GP30 #2198.

I was and engineer for 36 years, 12 freight and 24 passenger. These dash 7's were the only engines GE built that was worth a damn. I've always wondered if the dash 7 electrics was a copy of EMD's dash 2 electrics. Why did they scrap it anyway?
@ReadingAreaRailfan2 жыл бұрын
New Hope let it go to shit and didn't maintain it. The Dash 7's we're pretty shitty from what I've seen, but I'm sure certain people liked them they ran well if they were maintained well. I like em

@@ReadingAreaRailfan Well, I've operated the U series, and they couldn't get out of their own way. I believe it was called the Check system, or something like that. The das 7 was an improvement, better response to the throttle, a little quicker, almost like an EMD. I appreciate your kind reply.

@TrainTrackTrav7 жыл бұрын
That is a spring switch. It is spring loaded so as to allow a loco or train to run through it. You may note the sign next to it that says "SS". SS stands for spring switch. Hope this helps. :)
@kingjames82839 жыл бұрын
Are track switches spring loaded? At least twice in the video, I saw the locomotive force it's way past two closed switches. I'm not understanding why the train isn't derailing or jumping track.

Anyone else find it funny a GE from the late 70's is a "museum" piece yet 100's of SD40-2's from EMD are still earning a living for class one railroads. I guess GE locomotives back then were garbage just like the first generation ones. How many GP 7's and 9's are still earning a living on branch lines and in yards while first generation GE's like the U25 are LONG GONE.

This locomotive was built in 1981 and I don't think anybody ever called it a museum piece.
