    UP 3896 is the coolest diesel electric, what a hoss! I'd like to see if that thing could pull a loaded grain train by itself.

    As far as I am aware, the DDA40X was the only diesel electric locomotive to have 4 axle trucks.

      I love hearing the horn on 6936. So happy for as long as it was down in Cheyanne. They never took the horn off of it.

    Thanks very much for the video. Especially the segment with the 6936. I have a slight bias for that one. 🥰 Tried to get by there last summer. Will try again soon, maybe this fall.

    Any idea if the Railroading Heritage of Midwest America will put up an update on the restoration on their website because last one I saw was in February and a few months went by and I still haven’t seen an update yet?

    Hearing that amazing diesel sound and cars is absolutely crazy.
