Reading and Northern SD40-2s Shift and Kick Cars

[@verastaki]

I just love that sound of EMD's SD40-2's!!! I can't get enough of it! I used to live right across from the locomotive bypass and would hear the sound of EMD's on daily basis. I would fall asleep to EMD's good sound, I would wake up to it. I would see all kinds of SD40-2's, SD50's and 60's and all the other good EMD locomotives.

[@JungleYT]

Yeah... The only other thing that comes close to sounding that good is the EMD *F59PH* that was used to pull Metrolink out here in California

[@PennRailVideos]

Great video! Very interesting to see car-kicking in the 21st century.

[@formidable38]

It amazes to see a handfull of cars being switched on a shortline with 6000 horsepower! Cool video.

[@CentralPennRailProductions]

I parked in that industrial center's parking lot, and just walked down the hill to the deck. The entrance is on Tuckerton Road just a few hundred feet to the right down from the intersection with PA-61.

[@CentralPennRailProductions]

They really 'love' to organize those cars :). I was there for about an hour, although they are usually there between 1 and 2 hours to organize and set-off cars.

[@Derailedtrain666]

sweet paint on thos! Great job!

[@CentralPennRailProductions]

I am not sure, but since it has a BDLX patch, it might be a drilling engine for the quarry at Pennsy Supply in Millards, which is not so far (35 miles) from its current spot. That could explain the misplacement.

[@ZachPumphery]

Cool video. Kicking cars on air like a boss.

[@CentralPennRailProductions]

The same place I took 425, this is where the 425 started its journey to Jim Thorpe, the RGQA was right behind 425. I think this place is called Tuckerton.

[@CentralPennRailProductions]

He is shoving them pretty quick, although I cut out the idle time, which wasn't very long. They are pretty much in full back-n-forth for 2 hours or more. I really enjoy watching these guys shift, you really can't see much of this on a Class 1 anymore, maybe CN.

[@CentralPennRailProductions]

Oh, that's BDLX's now, it had belonged to the Pennsy Supply quarry along the Harrisburg Line, but now it's in Pittston, PA, I don't know for what it is currently used.

[@CentralPennRailProductions]

Heh, yeah that looked familiar. I love those SD40-2's. I would like to see their SD38's and SD50's as well.

[@CentralPennRailProductions]

RBMN has no U-boats or GP7's, etc. The smallest units they have are SW8's and a SW1500, but they are used in the yard shifting and rarly visit this part of the line.

[@CentralPennRailProductions]

I have seen a lot of Canadien National cars.

[@Landaux]

Id love to hear that U-Boat crank up! Love the classic sound! 8-)

[@trainman071]

poor old 2786 looks like a old c-40 i would love to restore that old loco to new condition for show

[@Hickler90]

You mean they have more amazing power? These locos alone look awesome. And where is that Ex Connie going to go?

[@CentralPennRailProductions]

It's a U23B.

[@trainman071]

cool it is a old u boat i wasn't sure i would not mind seeing that thing being restored for a museum. they just don't build locos like they used to

[@Hickler90]

Great quality on this one, those EMDs sound great! and btw that engineer has my one dickie hoodie LOL. Great job

[@DaulphKline1103]

were did you take this ... the sam eplace that you took the 425?????

[@LeonardFShanerJR]

Question? What for old Conrail locomotive is sitting on the side track, Looks to be number 2786. Where did you take this at? Len.

[@Baltimora1957]

There's an engine just like this in my hometown of Mountain Top PA.

[@silicon212]

1:36 that was a hard joint!

[@DouglasP201]

Is Reading & Northern railroad still exist?

[@BudmanPackfan]

@navalman8686 sorting cars so that they are in order for them to drop off at customer locations along the route.

[@kleetus92]

Yeah hate to say it but ain't that the American way anymore?

[@BudmanPackfan]

@DouglasP201 yes, go to the website posted right on the side of these locos: rbmnrr.com
