I hate the fact that NS sold 8520. It looked amazing in the sonic bonnet red. At least it's still in service :). Great video!

I was unaware that NS sold one of their DC to AC with special paint scheme locomotives. Glad I came across your video. Good job on making it.

Yeah. Kind of odd that they’d sell it like that, with the paint scheme. Maybe they didn’t want their name tied to that unit?

Great video! I never knew this engine was rebuilt by CAF out of all companies. This engine was always my favorite of the repainted NS rebuilds.

Do you think NS will take 8520 back? I heard that they might but idk how true that info is

Nice research...I was wondering why I hadn't spotted NS using it much if at all. They have some other color schemes in the flamethrower style that I have seen on video of some of their trains.

Nice video. I heard rumors that one of the reasons it failed was be because it was improperly transported and the wheels locked up resulting in flat spots.

Yeah 8520 was being leased to the UP for the longest time, it could be on the CN now though, it was reported two months ago on UP trackage in Nebraska

I really thinks it’s weird that how it’s not a 4000 to forty something hundred number series locomotive because it’s more of an AC44C6M.

I think they did that to differentiate them I mean it was rebuilt by caf and not GE

Well yeah it was rebuilt by CAF but it’s still technically a GE. Also what does CAF stand for?
