I don’t know why, but sometimes rusted rails, overgrowth in the gravel, and a lone SW working away just has a certain vibe that mainline railfanning can’t even compare too.

Know exactly what you mean. On one hand, this is all part of the life of commercial activity that makes city life what it is; and on other hand, it feels like it's in the middle of nowhere - the edge and netherworld of human civilization. Seemingly more machine than man, yet it's a life of its own - railway lifeblood feeding the organs of industry and commerce under endless strands of the power grid nervous system.

There’s something kind of sad about this. It’s rusty and squeaky, and all that track is overgrown and sunken into the dirt. It’s 70+ years old and still capable of doing its job. That’s rare and precious in this age of planned obsolescence. Stuff that lasts and works should be cherished.

Note the unusual profile of the hood in front of the cab. The Lehigh Valley ordered 18 of these SW8s with dynamic brakes to work in sets of 3-5 hauling anthracite on the Hazleton Branch. They were colloquially known as pups on the LV. I have passed this unit many times too. Most of the DB equipped units don't seem to have survived past the conrail era. I am sure there are a few extant somewhere though.

Did a bit of digging, and it turns out there are a few more of these cockroaches still around. I do think a good few were scrapped in the conrail era. But Reading and Northern has 3, one of which was a dynamic brake equipped unit. There are atleast 2 or 3 others in industrial service around NJ and PA.

I worked for the Chicago Rail Link back in 2001(I think), this old girl has been at MarPig for a long time. This was the same interchange we used for the CSS. From that road crossing going west is a pretty good hill. I used to shove my empty coil gons up the hill, bleed the loaded gons while walking back down and then dropped about 15-20 loads gons off the hill. My engineer would cut off from the empty cut and come down under 130th and tie on to the loads. It saved me a run- around move in the yard over by 94. Little old railroads in the weeds are fun to work at!

This is a truly great catch. That engine is 71 years old, and it looks like it's been in a war - but still doing what it was built to do. There's definitely a mood to it working in an area that looks like it's 3/4 abandoned with parts of the track lost in the grass - but as long as there's heavy stuff to move, then long live the little engine that can.

I built this unit using a P2k ho scale SW1200, converted it to a single stack, scratch built the hood area in front of the cab to represent the ex Lehigh valley dynamic area without the fan and grills of course, and sold it to a customer, but I didn't paint it in conrail, it was painted in a private leasing company scheme. Unfortunately I didn't have any sound for it, just dcc. its pretty cramped inside for most sound decoders. Wow, thanks for sharing this video!

Here are still similar looking SW1001 switchers similar to the older SW8 on the New York and Atlantic RR here in New York. I also believe that the LIRR kept some for its own use when the NY&Atl. was formed to haul the freight along the LIRR tracks.

Man. That thing has been sitting there rusting away for years.. I didn't even know they used it anymore... I remember back when I was a kid riding the school bus many years ago. We were stuck in some sort of traffic on 130th (probably a crash caused by a 5 foot deep pothole 🤣) And one of the trucks delivering junk cars to the facility to be smashed (That whole empty area there used to be a big old scrap yard full of stuff, huge piles. Of scrap metal far as the eye could see). Anyway, a junk car had fallen off a flatbed right in the middle of the road that enters the property.. And instead of getting some other peice of equipment over there to remove it.. Someone just hopped in this switcher and rammed into it at a pretty good clip, and just shoved the thing a few hundred feet back into the scrap yard proper. Lol... Lots of fun to see as a 5th grader.

Always a pleasure to see old equipment still laboring along that apparently is economically still okay to use. Back in the late seventies early '80s used to enjoy seeing all the action between Wisconsin Steel Republic Steel Acme Steel and the Interlake plants. You'd come home with mud on the car grit in your hair but usually some interesting industrial photos of industry long gone. Considering Class 1 lines have very few switchers left this battling beauty is a breath of fresh air. Thanks for this 🎥!
