Hearing that V12 roar brings back a lot of memories. We have the same locomotives in Sri Lanka under the M2 classification. One of it got toppled during the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami. It’s now restored and back in service.
@@trainfixer1981 Definitely, you should! There are very scenic railway journeys to enjoy. Here is a video of the M2 that was affected by the Tsunami. Notice the blue line of the livery having a wave on the side - to mark that it was a Tsunami victim. ua-cam.com/video/KWrZdPya7Io/v-deo.html
Here's another video compilation of EMD G12 (M2s). YOu can check out his channel for more sri lankan train videos including Cab rides :) ua-cam.com/video/m_iyQ7morL4/v-deo.html
Brings back memories of the DA hauled Auckland to Wellington Expresses and Limited trains racing across the Manawatu plains in the early hours of the morning.
It is really wonderful to see a locomotive at such an age ,and in such a situation. from hearing ,understand that the one who holding the throttle uses it wisely!! since he knows the machine in all its details.
EMD GM G12 my favorite locomotive!👏👏👏👏

I would like to visit Sri Lanka one day to see the M2.
