There are a lot of nice trains on the tracks here from around the country and it's always awesome watching them especially in Texas and Missouri thanks.🚂🚃🚃🇺🇲

That's a catch of a lifetime and hope you get many more rare engine beauties on camera to share!!

You’re Right about the Rare Lashup on this Consistent. Most don’t realize Anheuser Busch InBev has a Rail Yard East of the St. Louis Brewery. Thanks! 👍🙏

i saw the 6 engine version of that insane consist in stl

The SW14 is planned to be used at a new yeard being built in Albertville, AL. ATN crews are saying that the motor is owned, not leased but reporting marks still say otherwise. That weekend was a.. event to say the least. That power move was the entire roster with the exception of 4 motors (2 were still assigned to the mountain job, other two were broke). A few days prior, the train dealt with multiple engine failures, which required a set of 3 to come to the rescue to shove to Birmingham. That shot was the consist returning to Ragland to grab its remaining 60 cars (130 total from both trains, mostly loaded cement hoppers) along with splitting the power into two separate consists. The 9401, 5387, 7371, and the SD60 took the 2nd section to Birmingham dealing with 2 stalls, 2 motor failures, and splitting the train in half to finish the job.

The PRLX 4103 was formerly the Crazy 8's SP SD45 8888, before becoming SP 7448 as an SD45R.

[@Straight2_Offical]

No way, I saw the last 4 engines on the first train a few months back

[@Rickybnsf]

2:40 sorta looks like a cowl unit from behind!

[@ShawnCalay]

The FURX was originally a SD40 built in the late 1960s....the dynos and trucks are the biggest give away and no sight glass.

[@gabrielndun831]

Nice nice

[@generalmoonstone]

What kind of engine was in the second clip?

[@ShawnCalay]

A dash-9 hostler located motive....it's simple to run and is mainly for MOW crews
