Will do Bishop bud. My birtthday's coming up next Friday. Not sure if I want to railfan at the Vicksburg or my 2nd grandparents.

[@EdWhizAviationTrains]

Yes I enjoyed your adventure at Memphis, enjoyed watching and thank you for all your hard work 👍😎

[@LouisianaRailProductions]

Appreciate it!

[@killersopinion1829]

That long-hood forward move on the first train is definitely a rare sighting. We do it somewhat regularly, but not with an engine like that! I would definitely want someone on the point if I had that engine going long-hood forward!

[@LouisianaRailProductions]

I imagine it's a pain with a large road locomotive like that. Thanks for watching!

[@trainanswererguy8758]

Great catches Bishop bud! That was the bomb-diggity, IC 1011, an IC Death Star loco.

[@LouisianaRailProductions]

Thanks Aaron!

[@AndreiTupolev]

Some excellent shots here. Very nice to see an original spec narrow cab SD70. And that final shot is fantastic, brilliant sound from those GEVOs.

[@NortheastRails]

Sweet stuff as always! Gotta love that old EMD power with classic paint! So close to 2,000 subs!

[@LouisianaRailProductions]

We hit 2,000 today! Thanks a lot!

[@NortheastRails]

@@LouisianaRailProductions Congrats!! No problem!

[@missourivalleyrails]

[@LouisianaRailProductions]

It was pretty solid. Thanks!

[@proudfoamer2]

[@Waltervazquez599]

Excellent vídeo my friend !!! Greetings from Argentina 😉✌

[@LouisianaRailProductions]

Thanks Walter!

Hey man awesome catches of the Death Star unit and NS 4003. And I don’t know if you have heard of the bessemer and Lake Erie? But CN usually has a decent amount of Death Star units roaming around there.

[@LouisianaRailProductions]

I've seen several pictures of them in that area. Unfortunately, that's a little further than Memphis for me haha!

[@GreatLakesTrains]

Outstanding catches and videos as always man! Neat pictures also👍🏽 I’ve been to Kentucky st in Memphis years ago it’s a great spot. Thanks for sharing brings back good memories.

[@LouisianaRailProductions]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@DOMINICAAVIATION]

Another great video 👍

[@LouisianaRailProductions]

Thanks!

Those engines in the scrap yard are gone now 😢 but I had an idea. I got a small bottle and filled it with sand from one of the locomotives. Cool idea for a loco headed for scrap

[@killersopinion1829]

That Kentucky St. interlocker looked like a happenin place. Now if I'm not mistaken (and if I am, please let me know), one of UP's gateways into Memphis is the former Rock Island mainline...and the only 2 miles of track the Rock had in all of Tennessee.

[@LouisianaRailProductions]

Yes sir you're correct. CRIP only had that one small stretch of track on the now UP.

[@jamesmilligan714]

I will be waiting thanks from James.

[@quintinthemississippirailfan]

Nice catch

[@fakecumberland]

That’s a good spot! Don’t know if you saved time to walk across the UP bridge.

[@LouisianaRailProductions]

Due to time, I wasn't able to.

[@GenericRailfan]

Thats Memphis baby!

[@LouisianaRailProductions]

YESSIR

[@shiftintohigh5564]

Excelllent!👍👍😎

[@CrossfellRailwayVideos]

Very enjoyable. I presume the first movement was just a shunt?

[@LouisianaRailProductions]

Thanks! It was actually just pulling it's train in reverse. It came with another load leading the normal way.

[@CrossfellRailwayVideos]

Right, got it!

[@jamesmilligan714]

Nice video it would have been nice to get some action keep up the good work.

[@LouisianaRailProductions]

Thanks! Stay tuned for more content!

[@jolo9327]
