Morrison Knudsen in consortium with Downer were the builders of the Remutaka Tunnel in the 1950s. They introduced modern tunneling procedures to New Zealand. David Field, Auckland.
In the same way that I didn't even know about the SMR until I started researching for the video. Incidentally I was watching your video on the U18B No. 404 earlier today.
Before the invention of actual airlines, the term 'air line' was thought of as being the fastest connection between two points... hence, the Seaboard Air Line. Well done, btw.
The shot at 11:28 I believe was when the units were stored awaiting some mods as the trucks fouled on the fuel tanks. Eventually after a host of other problems there was a legal battle during which the engines were put into indefinite storage (MP&ES also went bankrupt during the course of this, so the fate of these engines is now uncertain until D&S makes an official statement on their disposal)
I have seen the F40NGs up-close in person before. They're still stored in Durango. There's actually a lot more to them than what's on the outside, and it's a very sad story. If you see the video I took of them last month, the Description should explain a little more about them. There's a lot more under the surface about Tri-Rail. But most of it so much, that they'd all deserve their own videos. For starters, did you know that nearly all of Tri-Rail's "Bombardiers" are actually not Bombardiers?

Great video once again! I never knew that the St. Mary's Railway was able to swoop up a few units, maybe for freight service I suppose?

I found a photo locomotives in this Video one them is running
Those Locomotives Should Have Never Retired
Love the video! very well researched! It also made me realize that i SERIOUSLY need to make a Tri Rail Enhancement Pack for Train Sim BADLY lol
I remember hearing about The Audio Shack making a sound or enhancement pack for the F40PHL-2, but I don't know if that was ever released.
How did you animated that opening bit? What software is that?
Hey Should check out GP40TC from GO Transit.
Its not exactly an oddball. Those were produced in a decent amount, and multiple railroads owned them. Amtrak still has a few in operation.
What game is that?
