zzI remember passing my railroad physical and.training to be a breakman for Conrail in 1976 at twenty '-21years old It was one of many days to come on the "extra list", !!

I AM A RAILFAN And some Canadian lines were bought by Kansas lines Warren Buffett Loves Railroads, and Union Pacific Fits the Bill

[@PiedmontCentralRailroad]

DIB, you truly are one the premier railfan channels on KZbin. I was born and raised in Kalamazoo. So many fond memories of taking the Amtrak from Kalamazoo to Chicago, and your videos of that area are like a homecoming trip. Likewise, your vids of my new home area of North Carolina are equally entertaining and educational. Your mix of narrative and simple, glorious train watching is superb (authentic crew radio chatter...wow!). Kalamazoo was a unique place to live because trains cut through the city in numerous places. So much that saying "I was delayed by the train" was always a legitimate excuse (late teenagers that are smart learned this very quickly). I think a video there could be worth your while (if you haven't already) especially from Kalamazoo to Union Station in downtown Chicago (home of the infamous baby carriage scene from the movie "The Untouchables"). Thanks again, guys! Outstanding work.

[@DelayInBlockProductions]

Thank you so much for the nicest comment I’ve received this week. I really appreciate your viewership and thank you for watching. I love hearing stories like this. Knowing someone else from the area appreciates what I do makes it all worth it. Thank you! -Drayton

[@privatepoggers6817]

I’m not sure why this is in my recommended but it’s a welcome surprise

[@DelayInBlockProductions]

Thanks for watching! Welcome!

[@paullindberg9230]

A good old ground block!

[@wesleyallenjr4900]

[@charlessmith0960]

I love train

[@paullindberg9230]

The pos Tain control. is a slam dunk I remember watching engineers putting a brakepipe on the "Dead Mans Petal years ago. Since 911 And that Passenger train going in the drink after a barge took out the piling on the bridge. It was a tragic one in the fog to top it off!, real game changer!

[@GMCGUY-]

Great video I love the old EMD units if you noticed northfolk Southern and CSX and Union Pacific all have a lot of those engines that all look identical I don't know what they are but they look like a dash nine I don't know exactly the name of the engine I'm not really too good at naming what type of engines are especially the newer ones the older ones I know newer ones not so much but the old emds sd40s sd45s gp40s gp38s these are the types of engines that I grew up on watching pulling out of the yard all the time on the old Pan am railways line now it was purchased by CSX as of June 2022 what if you're ever in Western Massachusetts try the East Deerfield freight yard in Deerfield Massachusetts it's called the East Deerfield freight yard and it's right next to the Connecticut River you can't miss the turnoff there's a huge trestle going across the river depending on which way you're coming from if you're going over the bridge you Bank a left

[@paullindberg9230]

I hope that GE&GM are a couple that returns and stays God do i miss hearing thr EMD And SD series Just for starters i do believe that things come back arround God knows im old school!!

[@bennyringstrom7765]

I have told u before but,i will do it again. U must be the best narrator in US. Yhanks.🤩🤩😻😻

[@killerbees177]

You should film the train operations in Kalamazoo, would be interesting.

[@kimberlyatwood5154]

Very interesting video and history, awesome old photos!

Thanks for watching!

[@beverlyshutack7728]

[@bennyringstrom7765]

Great video as usually. Thank u from Sweden.

[@nstrainfanyt]

I've seen ns 3448 before in Georgia. It's also a snoot sd40.

[@calvingrondahl1011]

I am a recent convert to railfanning. DIB is very helpful.

[@DelayInBlockProductions]

Thank you for tuning in! That means a lot.

[@paullindberg9230]

Looks like a Rock Island logo on that train

[@Robbi496]

East to Wayne, South to Toledo, West to Elkhart? Seems like driving from Chicago to Madison, then East to Milwaukee???

[@highhorsesproductions1177]

Is 6346 an SD40E or an SD50?

[@DelayInBlockProductions]

SD40E, a former SD50.

[@prariestaterail1071]

Will you document INRD soon?

[@LeeDfined]

Sd40s are the one engine I can identify by sound from miles away. They have a certain sound that is very distinctive even from a distance. These were the trains of my childhood.

[@wilson561]

I like trains but the segment you did on the Miller Trucking operation was so interesting. Thank you for adding that piece of history to your film.

[@syahdanalwiardinsyah7821]

Nice 👍🔥

[@denisetindall1487]

I like train videos on KZbin 👍

[@williamjameson478]

The problem with America today, everyone gets offended way to easy. Keep up the good work you are doing!

[@logandetwiler4483]

The workhorse of the American railroad

[@afleetcommand]

Fortunately for me some of the "purged" sd-40-2's and 33eco's ended up on my local area railroad , NYS&W and are STILL in service dayly

[@trainsofsouthwestmichigan03]

Battle Creek has 2 SD40s and a GP38-2

[@paullindberg9230]

At one time taggers that get caught some judges sentence them to remove their art work ,Sounds like a right direction anyway!

[@bhproductions1061]

Amazing job the SD40-2 locomotives are beasts

[@dgr8zod]

SD40-2's and GP38's aren't going away very soon. They just work, and work well.

[@micahvictory]

Unfortunately Norfolk southern has already gotten rid of a couple handfuls

[@ЗакадровоеозвучиваниеотМарка]

Hi guys! I really like your content. Take pictures of the American railroad more often, especially diesel locomotives, wagons.

[@rodrigoalvesdepaula5262]

SD40-2 is one of my favorite locomotives! Here in Brazil, we have two unique SD40-2 versions: some former CPR SD40-2 with narrow-gauge (1000 mm) trucks (these machines run on Southern Brazil) and some European-built, Irish-gauge SD40-2 (In Rio - São Paulo freight services, there are many SD40-2 built by MACOSA in Spain!). Also, Estrada de Ferro Vitória a Minas (a Vale railway) bought some Conrail SD40-2, rebulit them with B-B narrow-gauge trucks and renamed it EMD BB40-2 - the nickname is "Titanic" due to larger front walkway.

[@wyattmccarley8262]

I wish 3452 was still around, Awesome work Drayton!

[@curailproductions7636]

Awesome 😎

[@railfannoah5762]

I love those SD40-2s with a passion ❤️, especially with a sweet and spirited P5 horn, you should document the NS Pulaski District, they have SD40-2 on locals V37, V40, V39, and V19 going back and forth on that line. You should really do that sometime, we really need a documentary on that line.

[@logandetwiler4483]

SD40E-my favorite ns locomotive

[@streetfightinmanrs]

Another great video! It was also cool to see the GP38-2 high hood running long hood forward.

[@paullindberg9230]

Wabco,,, I can remembe Wabco made our radios they made brake systems also bearrings for rail cars

[@BAHolmes]

I know this isn't the main focus of this particular video but I saw a pair of high hood GP 38-2s this morning working a train near US Gypsum in River Rouge MI while I was unloading there

[@vettebecker1]

Would have love to have seen the miller facilities back in their prime, with the railroad!!!

[@barroningram7286]

110 mph should be child's play with 3 locomotives

[@Lakeside_Rail_Productions]

What microphone do you use? I know it's a little off-topic but the audio is great.

[@DelayInBlockProductions]

Thank you. That means a lot. I’ve been working to perfect the overall audio quality of my narrations throughout 2021. I use an AT-2020 USB from AudioTechnica. It’s a relatively affordable mic that puts out quality audio.

[@jeffallen5698]

Awesome video! Sd40-2 my favorite engine..I like the story or information of what we are seeing.it makes it so much more enjoyable than just a run by video

[@jameswise3971]

SD40-2 will always be my favorite freight locomotive hands down! Though the SD40-2 locomotives here their prime mover sounds more less turbo than the usual prime mover that makes the locomotive scream at full throttle.

[@quirkrail]

Thanks for sharing.

[@ChargerusPrime]

My grandmother and great uncles were all born in Michigan. I think one was born in Battle Creek.

[@Wolstenjack]

I love how there's a sign at the East end of the platform in Jackson that says "DIB" 😉

[@DelayInBlockProductions]

That sign is what inspired the name for the channel… that… and my initials.

[@fakecumberland]

That 5196 was running front-end first!

[@rudyandersson39STAR]

A pleasure to watch, amazing sound too👍👍 Good train episode.

[@bradfordthompson8326]

Oh Wow you should make more switching videos this was a wonderful inspiration for a BNSF MOVEMENT AT PORT OF BELLINGHAM....SO THANK YOU FOR INSPIRE US... YOU MIGHT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR RAILCAR MOVEMENT OFF BNSF IN BELLINGHAM WASHINGTON ⁵ LETS PRAYERS

[@panzerkampfwagonviausfb1185]

Man I love those long nose sd40-2s

[@BmdZero]

EMD is the best locomotive manufacturer; better than GE. Along with the GP50 and GP7, the SD40 and SD40-2s are my favorite locomotives of all time. Most of the time, SD40-2’s that are more than 40 years old take less maintenance than a 20 year old GE locomotive.

[@michael7423]

The GP30’s E’s & F’s had class and beauty too!

[@BmdZero]

@@michael7423 Yeah. I forgot about GP30 and the streamlined engines. Those are also my favorites too.

[@johnstudd4245]

That's one of the problems, they don't, and can't make any of those any more. That was a different time. The people who buy new locos seem to have a different opinion than you do on which are best.

[@vegasfordguy]

Those engines sure do smoke a lot. Must have a lot of hours on them.

[@MrTrapezoid]

Nah that’s just how they are

[@amtrakisveryepic]

What a lovely coil car lol

[@heyitshuttz3705]

Yet another amazing video Drayton!

[@moparnut6286]

I always love the look of the sd40!

I would say that theese old Bulls need a little TLC I use Seafoam in our veicheles cant see it giving the inside out treatment couldnt hurt!

[@cwniehaus6487]

Love my Sd40-2s. Great video D. Fyi, if you get a chance someday soon, PREX (ND&W) is currently in the throws of a MAJOR track renovation project. New ties, better rain & clean ballast. Sure would love to see u do an "Update" video on the line. Keep up the great job. Chris.

I guess cereal city iam in my glory all i need is milk a bowl and a spoon

[@GulfCoastVideography]

I rarely see SD40-2’s on my Local which is out of Nicholson Mississippi to 84 Lumber in my town It’s a daily local yet with GE power

[@brianbooher7318]

We have two sd 40-2 on our local here in bristol Tennessee Norfolk southern 3331 an 3256

[@JohnS-jj9by]

Another great video! Enjoy the NS and their standard SD40's!

[@dhritisamanta4382]

SD40-2 is my favorite locomotive, they are over 50 years old they never look worn down or backdated. But the sad thing is CP and NS purges out their SD40-2s. Anyways love from India🇮🇳

[@Abin_Bhowal]

@dhriti The deep Humming & Turbo Howling of SD40-2 645 Prime Mover is Kinda Unique compared to 710G series. This is the reason why I love SD-40 more than any other EMD locomotives. But yes our Indian WDG4 GT46MAC (Early 12XXX Series) has some of these characteristics like SD-40.

[@BmdZero]

Small railroads usually buy tons of SD40-2’s

[@micahvictory]

Ns is supposedly making some sd40-3s so hopefully that’ll give them a couple more years of life but in this day in time we just have to wait and see

[@paullindberg9230]

​@@Abin_Bhowal Absoutely the best!; Reminds me of my old Conrail days !!

[@percy215]

I like the Sd-40 but the length of it bothers me so i choose the EMD GP-40, GP-38-2, As my favorite

[@roninhcfb5501]

Great video! Also, Maybe a video on Muncie, Indiana. NS and CSX cross there, where the New Castle District starts (turns into the Frankfort District not too far back East) and the CSX Indianapolis Terminal Subdivision - Indianapolis Line. Very busy.

[@sofreak6]

Love the sound of the EMD engines. No other sound like it. Awesome video.

[@train_chicken6143]

look at the csx line you will see a town called Fennville i live there

[@CombsTowerProductions]

Good video, you should make a video about the NS Chicago District running from Ft Wayne to Chicago

[@micahvictory]

I still honestly don’t know why Ns got rid of most of the snoots they were sharp! And looked like they ran pretty well

[@vernonmatthews181]

I liked how the conductor put out a step platform for passengers to alight between 43 to 44 minutes. Its a pitty the platforms weren't raised by management years ago to accommodate this station.😎👍

[@CincinnatiSouthernProductions]

Hey Drayton great video by the way, keep up the great work! I was hoping to meet you at TVRM but unfortunately you wasn’t there when I was there😥 however I did get to meet Nooga railfan and I got to see Gabe again, which was pretty cool!

Seen the notification, not sure if you deleted the old video or not but I’m liking the video and commenting again to be that algorithm😤😤but like I said before I love SD40-2’s they’re in my top 3 favorite diesel locomotives of all time, I’ve never seen one besides the one we have at KY Steam and I hope I can soon but stupid Precision scheduled railroading😤😤amazing video as always tho Drayton.

[@Morganstein-Railroad]

It was decent of you to apologise for the Graffitti on the coil truck, but in all fairness, you shouldn't need to apologise for someone else's stupidity. Why do we need to see some idiot's tags and self agrandisements? But it's there and it's a part of modern life, so what can we do? The SD40s were great to see, and your filming of that Amtrak 355 being used to pull the PTC train was very interesting. I have subscribed on the strength of this video.

The newer ES44AC’s are nice

Is it a pure diesel or is it a dieselelectric locomotive,that new one.

[@willctheroysolved6408]

So when is the epa gonna start making trains run all this def and dpf filtets,,,they roll more coal than anything else out there.....not to mention get left deserted in the middle of nowhere idling for months on end

[@DelayInBlockProductions]

Um, they already have strict regulations and have since 2002. All locomotives built after 2002 have at least Tier 2 emissions standards all the way up to Tier 4. The locomotives you see here are 30-45 years old. Plus, even if they “roll coal,” think about how many trucks a 100 car train takes off the road. At least 200 to 250 trucks. Even without the EPA Tier standards of 2002 and beyond, they are way cleaner than trucks.

[@dennisyoung4631]

@@DelayInBlockProductions actually, these seem to be a bit lacking in the *soot* department. That lead P42 in the final setup had me salivating.
