IRM Diesel Days 8/11/18

[@gailyncookMilwRR]

What reason did they choose to repaint the Rock Island in the blue & white? Instead of one of the early original Red schemes?

[@AlexTrain5249]

I was there that day and I'm in the black shirt and grey shorts just to the right of 411 at 14:13.

[@roberthoffhines5419]

9911 looks different w/o her train set. Well, obviously, but more so that I would've thought. 411 sounds just like my K-Line F7 set!

[@TheCapitalRegionRailfan]

Awesome video! I always love seeing CB&Q 9911 run.

[@NYTrainzchaser]

Thanks!

[@drc930]

That warbonnet FP45 is really nice.

[@MattS_Filmography]

You know, if they have an operational little joe that they run on electric currents, as well as AEM-7 915 which is also operational, why can't they run both??

[@ajstevenson1905]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that the AEM is in a position where the overhead current isn't available.

[@blackbirdgaming8147]

Dead-End Productions [MTR] I think the little joe is DC and the AEM-7 is AC, but not sure. That’s probably the reason tho

[@Random.Channel_]

Dead-End Productions [MTR] they do have a joe that runs idk about the aem-7 and they also have a boxcab (idk if it’s in operation)

[@MrSonicthehedgehog31]

I think Southern Pacific 1518 deserves to be repainted besides her paint job is getting old.

[@raymondleggs5508]

same with the CNW RS series switcher.

[@bwallace5945]

But how would you repaint it? I actually like it in the battered Scarlet & Grey 1) EMD Demonstrator colors? 2) SP Black Widow? 3) SP Scarlet & Grey?

[@gailyncookMilwRR]

@@bwallace5945 I agree that it needs a paint job! I would vote for the Black Widow. However, I know that it is left up to the volunteers who work there. They call the shots of what they want to do next! '' IF '' I could chose what is next, I would repaint the Milwaukee Rd F unit! Then the Metra F7 in Great Northern Orange & Green! That would be Great to See. Maybe even any geep in GN colors.

[@destroyergaming637]

43:17 Gracious does SP 1518 needs a repaint.

[@roberthoffhines5419]

agreed, but the derelict-look IS pretty cool. Love the guttural grunt at 44:11.

[@fairportrails107]

the first scene is ironic
