MLW RS23 Smoking and Working on the Minnesota Commercial -MNNR 80-

[@sorshiaemms5959]

love the smoke from the old Alco switcher a honorary steam locomotive must drive the tree huggers nuts

[@steventurner820]

What a beauty and classic! The B39-8E pair is also pretty cool.

[@SD457500]

Those following it were a nice touch, and not something you'd normally see. Thanks for the comment!

[@TheCandoRailfan]

Nice video. Winnipeg also has a couple of MLW RS23's, which help maintain our aqueduct.

[@CrazyKaboose]

Awesome Catch! Pretty sure they had one of those what I think is an S11 Along the Hugo Job at the end of the line in Hugo. It was yellow and it was Lettered as “CTM 1”. Always remember seeing it in 2010 when I was way younger and the Tracks still went to interstate Lumber.

[@camsmith7651]

Love seeing that thick black exhaust belching away

[@SD457500]

You and me both! I just wish that little switcher would come out more often... Thanks for watching!

[@CNFAN79]

Great video! I love buddies reaction at the 4:22 mark lol!

[@SD457500]

Glad you enjoyed; and hand signals isn't something you see too much anymore. Its almost a lost art these days. Thanks for watching!

[@CNFAN79]

@@SD457500 It doesn't look like he was to impressed with having to walk that far. Normally the engine would stop just clear of the switch.

[@tworailproductions]

That is awesome that that is still in use. Thanks for sharing!

[@SD457500]

Thanks for watching, and the kind comment! It is a very rare unit.

[@christopherescott6787]

THAT'S a sweet catch.

[@SD457500]

Thank you for the kind comment! I've lived in the area for 15 years and only just shot it now...its a hidden gem!

[@trapdriver7006]

Excellent video I enjoyed watching it please make some more 👍😃😃😃🇬🇧🚂

[@SD457500]

Thanks, will do! Are you interested in more of this unit working, diesels smoking, or train videos in general? I upload videos twice a week.

[@chuckgilly]

We want more! We want more!

[@jonathansabatino3987]

This is a very good video. great!

[@SD457500]

Thank you very much, and I'm glad that you enjoyed it!

[@stuew6]

Nice to see Ex Cp Locomotive Rs-23 still running

[@SD457500]

Sure is, and I don't think that very many of these are left in service... Thanks for the comment!

[@kenkramer6529]

This is outstanding! Bravo.

[@SD457500]

Thank you, and I'm glad you enjoyed it! Its something you don't see everyday.

[@creeperkillere]

Hey, There is a shortline in WA/OR which has real old units going from SWs some old GP49s from ARR and an EX MRL unit, Mainly doing hauls of boxcars, grain, storage, ETC, For a real old UP line they have done real long hauls on the tracks.

[@SD457500]

Thanks for the comment; do you happen to recall which railroad it is? Sounds like quite the collection of power.

[@AMPProductionsVideo]

Very nice videos of MNRR!

[@SD457500]

Thank you very much; this is certainly one of their more unique units out there.

[@fakecumberland]

It’s just the cutest thing!

[@SD457500]

Those old units looked neat, and this unit has some charm to it! Thanks for the comment, and watching.

[@MilePost106]

Great video, thanks

[@SD457500]

Glad you liked it, and thank you for watching!

[@FrenckyCFC]

beauty

[@SD457500]

Thank you! Now, to get drone video of this in action...

[@FrenckyCFC]

@@SD457500 Would be nice

[@Photosbyrasberry]

Wow that is something you don't see every day.

[@SD457500]

Thanks for the comment! You are correct, and it typically stays over in Fridley. It RARELY makes a run to New Brighton.

[@ModelingSteelinHO]

Would love this locomotive in HO ! Man,that's cool. Sorry,might have foamed a little bit.

[@SD457500]

That would be cool! I wonder if anyone makes a model of these...

[@ModelingSteelinHO]

@@SD457500 As it turns out. Yes, Kaslo Shops from Canada makes a resin shell MLW S-13 ! They carry a whole bunch of neat HO shells. Thank you for getting film of this locomotive. She sounds great too.

[@mackdoyle8673]

i think this train got a sick horn

[@SD457500]

Thanks for the comment, and watching! It sounded pretty cool, and cold weather really help bring the sound out.

[@mackdoyle8673]

@@SD457500 No Problem

[@AlexTrain5249]

That Nathan M3H does need attention. Often times those horns aren’t maintained every 6 months like they should be. So only 2 bells are sounding. I actually found a cutaway of a Nathan M Series so that’s definitely beneficial.

[@SD457500]

Good to know, and thank you for the comment! I bet the frigid air temps didn't help it either - it was about 10 degrees out when this was shot.

[@pauludulutch4353]

Where did they find that fun little thing? Compared to they’re other power! Nice, something different.

[@SD457500]

It usually stays stashed away in CTM over in Fridley, but every now and then it comes out. Thanks for watching!

[@creeperkillere]

@@SD457500 Yeah even one of them tried firing the unit up, Thing was on fire and the unit blew up.

[@traintalkproductions5934]

How often and what time does this job typically run?

[@SD457500]

Thank you for the comment, and watching! This typically runs daily, but can be VERY hard to actually nail down a firm time when it is out and about.

[@alcobufff]

Hi! I'm putting a KZbin video together on the rs-23. could I use part of this footage?

[@chuckgilly]

My name is Charlie, I am an ALCO-HOLIC. I watched your 5 part video series on Alco history, really good stuff. I hope you can work something out with SD457500 for your next video on the RS-23

[@shawiniganterminal7061]

which CP # it was ? I love it !

[@SD457500]

It looks like it was once CP 8031, built in Sept of 1959. Thanks for watching!

[@darrelgibbs4898]

I guess I could see Something In This video By the way are there still in sevice today

[@mikeashely8198]

Engine has a bad cold

[@christopherescott6787]

Nope. Just a low idle. They slobber for a living....LOLOLOL

[@SD457500]

That or a turbo! :p It sure has a unique sound to it, and the smoke really makes it neat. Thanks for the comment!

[@lucaslawless4291]

What kind of horn is that?

[@SD457500]

I'm not the best with horns, but another person commented that it is a fouled Nathan M3H. Perhaps that is it?
