Great catch of NS 7100 GP59. And that horn was great.

[@MrEferrell]

Says GP 60 on the cab.

[@roballen5670]

Oh ok. I didn't get a good look. Also I didn't look it up. Cool catch though.

I think NS needs to freshen up the paint job on that ex Conrail unit😂

[@RealMelodyBlue]

Oooo, ok. I wasn't aware that there would be a difference.

[@kens.3729]

You have to Wonder 🤔 if it was a Hot Box or something else ? ALL Railfans know Not to BBQ close to the train tracks. 😬👍

[@therailroadtiespiker]

Yes I keep the grill at least 10 feet from the tracks 😂

[@johnalder6028]

What caused the fire? Good video.

[@therailroadtiespiker]

Never did hear what caused the fire. Thank you John for watching

[@ChainsawNW1218]

I've seen this happen before usually from a hot box, bearing or from sparks when the brakes are applied, nice video!🛤🚂

[@therailroadtiespiker]

It was a very hot day when I filmed this video it was over 90 so that probably didn’t help.

[@dionwilliams8161]

I'm guessing that he couldn't go through because of the potential fire???

[@therailroadtiespiker]

He was working the yard and the fire was on the main just outside of the yard. He took the train up to the fire to put it out.

[@MarkCinque-uq9kh]

Nice,1:26

[@RealMelodyBlue]

Ummm, I thought engines had 6 axles these guys only have 4 what's up with that? Forgive my ignorance

[@therailroadtiespiker]

These are locomotives that were built for local and yard work.

[@MrEngineman69]

They are light weights,limited to yard ,and local industry deliveries.Now we use the wide bodies for road use

[@RealMelodyBlue]

@@MrEngineman69 thank you

[@rc391995]

4 Axel engines are known as GP 's general purpose engine . the six axel engines are known as Sd's and are used as has been described . reckon what started the fire ? Exhaust spark or a wheel slip causing sparks ? I never noticed either. He might have thought if it made it to that pile of used ties then he had one hot fire ?

[@quintinivey9359]

Where did this local originate, Lafayette?
