Reading and Northern Air Products High and Wide with an RS5T Horn!

[@everettthepetractionguy4222]

SD40-2 #3056 put on a nice show. It's always great watching a classic SD40-2 diesel-electric locomotive in action.

[@theengineerscab1317]

Some of you Videos really bring back Memories as i was born in Allentown and left when i was 12 .. my grandfather worked for air products at HQ so this vid kinda has a heart felt touch to it for me .. thanks for the info and vid

[@TheNWClassA1218]

Nice chase, Leslie, and catch with that snoot SD40-2!!!!

[@kenfolstad1346]

Excellent job, WoW so much fun to watch, thank you!!!

[@PennRailVideos]

Nice video man!! Love that RS5T!!

[@CentralPennRailProductions]

Hello kither04, thanks for watching. To distill the long lecture of an answer that I conjured in my mind, it simply comes down to the fact that I enjoy taking videos, traveling, being outdoors, and trains, among many other things. Not to mention, if I had not taken and shared these videos, how would have others who share the same interest be able to have a slice of the experience I had that day?

[@kackdackel9170]

I know it's off topic, but that video was uploaded on my birthday!

[@CentralPennRailProductions]

They're on the Reading and Northern track, which has less restrictions. The parallel welded rail track is Norfolk Southern's track.

[@robbiewales3007]

The horn and the turbo charge sound, sound like some of the loco's here in Australia. Epic video

[@Basicbill]

A unique catch for sure. Nice production.

[@GoldenRailsMedia]

Great video! I am planning on purchasing an RS5T by next year, this one sounds GREAT!!!

[@goodeye03]

Great video, thanks for sharing that. Cool load, it looks like their own caboose or maybe it was another banner.....Great horn...

[@verastaki]

I like those Blue Reading and Northern EMD SD45's. They are less common than the Green and Yellow ones. I really love that sound of the RS5T horn on that 3056 EMD SD40-2!

[@michelinman8592]

"Mother of God!" was my response to that MAGNIFICENT horn!!!!!

[@CentralPennRailProductions]

The load is about 16 feet wide, it would not clear double tracks or major railyards. The route it takes is short and sweet, one with mostly single track with minimal train traffic disruptions.

[@CentralPennRailProductions]

Thanks Adam, so do I!

[@domrus8144]

kither that's who we are one time up in Binghamton I tracked a NS SD40-2 for about 3 months and it's still one of my prime catches.

[@HotForgeChaos]

That heat exchanger, is, well, fucking enormous!

[@Morfeusz120]

Beautifull video.Tkank you very much .5*******

[@tylerdavis9820]

I like how he gave you a couple of dings of the bell @ 2:58.

[@RRYankfan]

Come to wilkes-barre and see the track it rides on before the wait for an interchange. ITS BAD lol.

[@schmidtw900]

LOL the line reminds me of the WSOR line here in Wisconsin...Kinda makes a person feel leary standing close to the rails.

[@CentralPennRailProductions]

The next one is slated for February 2013, I will be in Vermont. I will have to wait until summer to see the next one, therefore, I may have unfortunately missed the last one covered by CP.

[@RRYankfan]

I knew I heard an RS5T thunder through the valley while waiting for 458 lol. I saw them interchange with CP. you should have started there. I will let u know the time the next one will leave if i can get a time.

[@CentralPennRailProductions]

Their website says this one is for Indonesia.

[@shanestrains4056]

beautiful rs5t!!!

[@CentralPennRailProductions]

They had to get clearance to move onto NS and also note the maintainer propping up the low wires.

[@schmidtw900]

Thats a pretty sweet catch but why would they run the train on the jointed rail when they have what looks to be welded rail right next to it ??

[@inels100]

Badass horn right there!

[@RRYankfan]

I hear you. Sometimes when the cars start to rock and im closish i get a little dizzy.

[@kither04]

The employees from air products have to ride in the caboose with this shipment because around certain corners it wont fit so they have to do some fancy rigging, my husband did one of these runs as a conductor on this line.

[@engineerpat5290]

LOVE THAT RS5T

[@Ferrocarril_Chicago]

WHOLY SWEAR WORDS, WHAT IS THAT THING!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?! It's SO HUGE!!!!!!!!!! Great catch that was!

[@dylandopsovic7045]

Chuck Norris' new bong

[@GoldenRailsMedia]

2:14 love that gen 3 k5la

[@goes_photography]

Great video.

[@dylandopsovic7045]

One of these years I would really enjoy filming Chuck Norris' new bong making its debut in my town by freight train!

[@CharlieRicker24]

Nice video!

[@chefjavier]

How come the train stop at the end of the video then, start up again

[@RRYankfan]

Indonesia. I think a good freind from school lives there. cool.

[@Pstauf1]

Will you catch it in the Morrisville Line?

[@RRYankfan]

I put the video up of the interchange with LS and CP in Hudson.

[@PennRailVideos]

And a Snoot nose is super duper.

[@Thunderbolt_1000_Siren]

OH WOW

[@darkrevenger04]

i bet it had track priority the entire time due to the size

[@Awesomeguy6999]

I saw this one at Manville With I think was a GE Dash 9-44CW

[@williamyoung6715]

THAT HORN!!!!!

[@CentralPennRailProductions]

Yes, they can get almost 50 feet longer than this one!

[@schmidtw900]

I understand now.. Makes sense,

[@OSUEngel]

What could happen if 2 engines pulled an Air Products train? Nothing bad can happen.

[@85bbenjaminfan]

That had to be one heavy load, judging by the way the wheels were squealing on the tracks when the train started moving again. Impressive little locomotive to haul that with relative ease

[@Marcell_627]

GOOD VIDEO!!! Nice NICE!

[@RRYankfan]

I dont think CP will sell This line. Its a possibility but i dont believe they will do away with selling it. I shure hope they dont lol. It will become alot harder to see D&H Geeps if they even keep them if they sell. They might just repaint them.

[@brok3nD1am0nd45]

What is the SD40-2 pulling?

[@rnrailproductions5049]

Seems like 3056 is always used for this job.

[@alexander1485]

it would be weird for me to follow a train (even if I didn't work for the railroad) around to more than one location.... i guess If you do it on the norm, its not so weird lol

[@RRYankfan]

Its going to india or the middle east.

[@jorgevelezsalcedo]

wow what was that!!!!!!!!!!

[@kither04]

Btw i dont get this? Why follow a train for 4+ hours for video? I shoot video by my house but never spend my gas or time to follow them, i am just wondering?.

[@voidjavelin23]

its a rare train, a freight train that transport heat exchanger by a class 3 railroad

[@MoPacBoy]

Wow what is that?

[@dylandopsovic7045]

Chuck Norris' new bong

[@voidjavelin23]

a heat exchanger

[@tylerl6400]

What the hell is that thing?

[@voidjavelin23]

heat exchanger

[@josephkrizauskas1052]

Too bad air products closed that plant just recently. They were doing a lot of work there. I guess business is business.
