4:38 old should of never bothered you that much like I would love it if I saw dash 9s almost everyday.

Great video, man! Lots of great info! Keep up the good work!

HUGE FAN!

Hi loco!

Some of the more recent C6Ms were rebuilt from ex-leaser AC44s, and some from old BNSF Dash 9s. They've been also buying used locomotives to rebuild into C6Ms. I'm used to seeing the C6Ms when I go out, since they're now the prime units of the NS roster.

The fact that we hate Gevos now but they will get the dash 9 treatment when they are starting to get rare😭🤣💀

What’s good hope you had a good week

yap yap yap jk nice vid 😊

18:49 everytime that happens to me at a crossing and for some reason I use to think they were mean to just try to blow the horn in my ear ?

It is rare to get a horn salute from an ACE becuase. A engineer told me a few months back that everytime an ACE leads a train and takes on a steep hill, the screen monitor in front will freak out telling him that their is a wheel slip so the locomotive cuts of half of the power to the trucks so it can regain traction. And this is why ACEs are soooo slow going uphill and the engineer is rarely freindly.

Dash 9's are becoming extremely rare

Taught me something in 20 minutes that I've been searching months to understand. Thank you and great video!

Now you have to get as many ACES and DC GEVOS as possible becuase the ACES and tier 2s are being stored in the deadline at Shaffer's Crossing awaiting thier new engine batteries ! And it looks like it wont be for a fews years probably.

And this was kinda Alan Shaw and Mark George's fault. Becuase when Jim Squires was in charge he introduced the C6Ms but it really wasnt big about it for 2 - 4 years and he was going to severely decline PSR on his last day. But it was too late Alan Shaw activated PSR, PTC, and extended the C6M program. And as we all know Charles Moorman best NS president.

13:38 btw looking at the later ICCs aka later ACES. NS requested the FRA for all their SD70M-2S to be rebuilt into the newer ICCs or the later ACES !

17:33 UP is rebuilding their dash 9s too.

17:21 thats why they were boring kinda. But the yn2s are fun.

4:38 you should of never let that bother you.

4:10 for bnsf I never get bored of dash 9s and ns. I love them because Csx Gevos are actually kinda boring and worst than dash 9s honeslty) bnsf has the best Gevos.

4:03 formerly 2000.

The ac44c6ms will be rebuilt once there 30.

Love your content man. I’m lucky enough to actually operate these little things lol. The two I’ve run are the shuttle wagon commander and a railking rk330, which is another competitor in the market. The main big difference is that, at least between the rail king and the shuttle wagon, the railing lifts up on the coupler box hydraulically to gain some extra adhesion, since it weighs as much as a grape lol. The rail king is also powered primarily by its rail wheels, while the shuttle wagon uses its road wheels on the rail to gain traction. While the rail king can pull more than the shuttle wagon, the shuttle wagon is a lot more comfortable lol Keep up the awesome content🤟🤟🤟

I think you should do some history on the thourobred and horse head paint scheme

Ayo loco :)

Yeah D9s are cool and all but it’s almost 2025 and we have yet to see 4014 or 2102 in their own video, how do you explain yourself???

the cinematics are nice, you even taught us some physics too, great video.

You forgot to call the conductor horizontally challenged

My option on the dash 9 and im pretty sure most people can agree with me on this, I never hated the Dash 9, they were just common as hell to see on literally every train, over the time as they got rebuilt I started missing them more and more, and kinda startednto relize just how different in a way they look compared to like a C6M or GEVO, now my option of the C6M, I dont hate it either, the thing is NS is extended the lifes of such a well working and fan favorite locomotive, tye best thing is the rebuilds still have there old horns, bells, and engines, meaning we can still hear K5LAs, P5s P3s, ect and just like the dash 9s, when the AC44s eventually start disappearing where all gonna be scrambling to the tracks trying to get them, so dont hate on something that wont be there one day, took the D9s, SD70s ect for granted man :(

The Great Shift from DC to AC locomotives.

2:49 JUMPSCARE. Bout lost me with the motor explanations, really really good stuff tho

I’ll say one thing. While I do hate the C6Ms, I’m glad that the Dash-9s have been rebuilt into them, rather than scrapped entirely. You can view as a new form of life for them. Fantastic Video as always Loco.

I once thought what would an AC44 look like if NS ordered them new back in the day......I now regret thinking that PS: C6M's have their own nickname according to my conductor friend known as "Sh*t 6M's"

I've wondered how the basics of alternating current worked, that's cool.

W video bro! Happy holidays, God bless!

Even though they are becoming increasingly rare EMD is still tops

outstanding video my guy! amazing editing and animations, voiceovers, etc. i know how long it can take, and mine are horrible quality 😂 thanks for dedicating your time to making these amazing videos! 😁

Great video twin💪🏾

Just so you people know, that 3258 in the front rollin coal is going to give Mommy Thunberg permanent nightmares for the rest of her gaslit, delusional life

16:00 back end of 1071

I think for me the fact I have my favorite locomotives as models I’ve railfanned and been on running real trains in a display case fascinates me!

Interesting Roanoke shots I must say good sir. Anyways thank u for helping me to understand how DC traction works

I was the opposite! I enjoyed the Dash 9s as a kid growing up in the early 2000s and still to this day enjoy them! I remember when they were brand new in primer color as well! The AC44C6Ms are wearing on me though! When I was a conductor for NS the new AC rebuilds were pretty noise in the cab and also vibrated really bad going up the hill!

yo i know this video's about locomotives but that explanation of motors is the simplest and most understandable explanation i've ever heard

AC/DC

AIN’T NO WAY I MISSED IT😭🙏

Im a CSX rail fan and I would rather see a AC4400 since they usually are either in YN2 or have K5LA. Everything else is either a ES44 or ET44.

I'll probably see a lot of c6m's when I'm at Inman Yard tomorrow (big 150th railfanning trip). I also might run into you if I'm lucky.
