SELKIRK IN THE EVENING w/1307 genset 8-11-11

csx yard ,with all the wide cabs around ,a std cab 7631 is put on the front of a intermodal just in from the chicago line, not sure were its going,but with more power added,maybe the b&a it stayed put for a long time, its the last train on this video.

[@TheGomes412]

I have family in the Bronx, and whenever I visit I always make a point to try and catch some action there. So many Trash cars come in and out of this yard.

[@TolgaEastCoast]

This yard is amazing! Great video!

[@Construction_King]

Great video. Always wanted to go there.

[@Dproud2700]

While most other roads have retired their Dash-8 fleet, CSX is still using them and keeping them running quite well. Well done CSX!!!!

[@marathonguy999]

cool stuff! Love the night action!

[@SuperStarRendon]

Nice catch! seems No. 1307 is out of the Oak Point Yard in NYC.

[@railtruckdriver853]

hello selkirk, ny from a former sperry rail service truck driver in memphis, tennessee.

[@douglasskaalrud6865]

SD40-2's forever! Still the best sounding locomotive ever made.

[@TouchoftheBrushModelWeathering]

awesome vid dude! I gotta get there asap!

[@sniper11506]

Nice filming , love'em

[@DerangedDragon99]

Remotes, such as the 2445, can be run by the engineer in the unit coupled to the remote; but can't be run by an engineer in a different unit, not connected to 2445. Also please note, units such as the 2455, are often called "Slugs", mainly as the only power they get for their traction motors, comes from the power unit they are attached to. They have no generators. Most commonly, they are a simple box, filled with lots of weight.

[@jorasaveminiaturas]

that is a paradise for train lovers like me =) nice video *like

[@irelandbloke]

Great vid !

[@adrianbreedlove6510]

It's a GPS positioning sensor antenna. It is pretty darn accurate and will let everyone know exactly where that unit is at all times.

[@GELCMTVES]

exellent .., exellent.. beautiful...!!!!

[@tommyrail67]

@Tcostello105 thanks a lot,last time was on a thursday, I have gone between wednesday to sundays ,but it never shuts down,so any day is active,who makes that model.

[@tommyrail67]

thanks, selkirk is near albany ny

[@tommyrail67]

yes it is remote, not sure about running it by a enginer, i think sould be ?

[@SuperCookieman13]

+James Finborg To answer your question, CSX was formed when the Chessie System and the Seaboard System Railroad merged together. So the C can stand for "Chessie" and the S can stand for "Seaboard". The X really has no meaning. But the X could be used as a short term for the word "Express" taking off the "E" giving out "Xpress", putting the X in use.

[@JungleYT]

Yeah, they used to call these "Calf" units back in the day... 3:30 I guess they call them "Yard Slugs" now?

[@rjkopp]

Where is Selkirk Yard? Is that in Buffalo? Quite a busy yard. I'm near Dewitt Yard around Syracuse and they don't see that much activity!

[@gitrplaya4u]

[@ZombieTide]

Was that also an RC SD-39-2? Saw something up on the forehead.

[@JustMe-bo2yu]

2445? Is that a genset locomotive, sounds very odd.

[@tommyrail67]

thank you.

[@AAAyyyGGG]

A bit late but in case anyone else is wondering: FNGFASHA Productions 1 year ago asked: What was the cargo on the flatcars at 5:00 minute mark? I think they're Nacelles, for wind generators. See: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nacelle_%28wind_turbine%29

[@tommyrail67]

windmills, the main body,thanks for watching.

[@tommyrail67]

thanks, glad you enjoyed it.

[@DaColdestNDaRock]

[@thewaffleton]

SD38-2S, the "S" meaning it is the mother unit to the slug.

[@tommyrail67]

thanks for the info.

[@1992cdwilliams]

Wat locomotive is mated to the yard slug

[@michaeljensen1733]

can remote controlled units like 2445 still be run by an engineer?

[@tommyrail67]

i think its a ge?

[@FNGFASHA]

What was the cargo on the flatcars at 5:00 minute mark?

[@marblehamburger]

its a calf unit, isnt it?

[@HumboltRidazer]

what was that on the top of #2445 of the cab

[@tommyrail67]

@SuperStarRendon thanks

[@tommyrail67]

that is a sd 39-2, thanks for watching.

[@FNGFASHA]

Ty

[@NaYawkr]

Freight Trains going to Long Island get picked up from Selkirk, and they take as long to go from Selkirk, which is just south of Albany, NY, to Long Island as a train does to go to Chicago from here, such is the bumbling and pathetic state of rail freight along the East Coast and especially around New York city. Trains from the west cost or Midwest must ship through Selkirk to and from Long Island and New York City. This constipation is why semi-trucks haul everything into the City and Long Island and very very little rail freight.

[@FNGFASHA]

Thanks for the info :-)

[@josephhoppe6984]

no it stands for chessie system railroad (the x)

[@streetrace442]

I haven't seen a dummy unit in a long time.

[@tbs10916301]

i used to work for csx as an engineer and in my opinion i would rather run a c40-8 over a wide cab any day

[@geomodelrailroader]

Windmill Nacelles and Blade Caps the Blades are at the end of the train

[@tommyrail67]

yes its for the remote controls.

[@tommyrail67]

thanks.

[@fanRe66]

waht is the 1018

[@iceman977th]

Wrong, NRE (National Railway Equipment) Genset unit.

[@mdpptjlepage]

what is that engine at 3:40, #1018

[@tommyrail67]

i think its a ge dash8 40 c.

[@tommyrail67]

i like std cabs over wide cabs .

[@charlesdell2864]

at 3:38, what the heck kind of locomotive is 1018

[@tommyrail67]

Gary Plastek that is a cabless unit, tration motors only, it is also remote controlled .

[@NortheasternRailPhotography]

+Gary Plastek A CSX Cables Yard Slug SD40-2.

[@mytfy1]

Are you with Metro North?

[@NortheasternRailPhotography]

Me?

[@mytfy1]

Railfan Center Yes, you.

[@dlrau2]

I think #1018 is a old alco do not know witch one

[@tommyrail67]

sorry it was a random shot,i like sd 40, check out some of my other selkik vieos.

[@mlstrains12]

it is a genset 3gs21b

[@kabeiganteng]

1018 = slug ?>

[@samedeepwater3]

where the heck is Selkirk?

[@tommyrail67]

Selkirk ny is just south of of Albany ny.

[@MaxHeadroom4014]

+samedeepwater3 - It used to be a major maintenance facility for the New York Central on it's NYC-Albany-Buffalo-Cleveland-Chicago mainline. The 20th Century Limited ran that route and Selkirk was where they maintained the J4 Hudsons that averaged 60 mph for the 16-hour runs.

[@jacquesblaque7728]

Not really. Selkirk Yard opened in 1924 for business with the Castleton Cutoff, with FREIGHTS routed through it from/to B&A & NYC and western connections via West Shore Line, avoiding Albany & West Albany hill. Nothing to do with passenger locos, which were serviced at Croton-Harmon or points west. Twentieth Century Limited took passenger route through Albany. BTDT.

[@frankney8284]

Albany County, Town of Bethlehem, NY. It's in my ambulance district.

[@bowserloverplush4235]

Strange looking train 3:37

[@tommyrail67]

i not sure.

[@thewaffleton]

During the merger between Chessie System and Seaboard System back in the 1980s, lawyers for both companies got sick of writing "Chessie System/Seaboard System Merger," so they just started writing "CSX." The name stuck.

[@tommyrail67]

yes it is.

[@tommyrail67]

that is a slug no engine ,power to the trucks only from the mother unit.

[@weeg6899]

did graffiti never dieded?

[@TheWaynelds]

weeg loser.

[@tommyrail67]

thats a slug,it has to be with a power unit, the slug has no engine just traction motors.

[@tommyrail67]

i think so?

[@tommyrail67]

part of a windmill.

[@tommyrail67]

csx is chesapeake & seaboard.

[@MrZkr123]

thats what i thought

[@Adi-train]

LIKE :-)

[@W1LDC4T95]

Chessie System Railway. X stands for all others

[@geomodelrailroader]

LOL

[@Iowarail]

CSX has the filthiest cab interiors out of any U.S., Canadian or Mexican railroad. It is like operating a fucking toilet bowl.

[@kive33]

thanks

[@tommyrail67]

thanks.
