Eagerly awaiting the arrival of Two Montana Rail Link SD-45's from Lionel! Should be in any week now . Love seeing the real thing . Amazing work guy. Love your videos .
Superb video! Brings back happy memories of a visit to the USA. SD45s are very impressive locos and in my opinion very neat looking machines compared with some modern stuff.
well Scott, can't say that i'd blame them, the SD40's are real work horses and we still see a number of them here in WV driving on CSX and NS rails. those SD 45's are still my favorites, even at museums.
+AmericanSteelVeins Same Huntington area, CSX runs SD40's in yard service and there are several in the deadline and parts inventory sitting in the Huntington yard. Last time I saw a NS SD40 was in Williamson, WV as part of a coal drag and not the lead unit. CSX does have a sweet little GP30 in the Huntington Yard which is nice to see still working for its keep.
Actually, not all of those SD40s at Huntington Shops are technically part of a deadline. I have a friend that works at Huntington Shops and he says that CSX hasn't decided what they will do with all of them yet. Do you get trackside much? There's quite a few CSX and Amtrak employees that run through Huntington that are railfans.
I've never seen a train that long here in the eastern states of Australia. There are possibly some that length in West Australia up in the iron ore mining region.
This is awesome and magnificent with brilliant scenery going up the mountain! Fantastic job in filming this video! It's a shame that a lot of SD45's and GP-38's have been pulled out of service to be replaced by the newer and quieter locomotives. I agree with Mr. Drum. to me, these older locomotives will always be the beasts of the rails. This is especially true when they are climbing uphill! Superb once again!
Nice to have you back Scott! Beautiful shots as usual sir! I didn't know they still ran SD45's due to their fuel usage, but these look in top condition so I assume they've been rebuilt? I see the last ACe'[ needs a bit of love..LOL I will send you a message re my visit in May!! Thanks for the great video mate. Cheers Gregg
FishplateFilms Gregg, 12 of the MRL SD45's have been leased by BNSF due to a short-term lack of motive power. BNSF have very large orders with GE for new locos, so these SD45's will only be around for a short while before being sent back and likely mothballed or even scrapped. Come see!
EMD = Energy, Muscle, Dependability
Nothing like the throbbing drone of a trio of 645-20s. Awesome footage!
Best. Comment. Ever.
I like that acronym 👍🏼😎
I'm happy to see that there are SD45s still in service! Nice video.
just beautiful video the view is perfect love trains love the sound of the locos
Excellent video Scott. Glad to see those twenty cylinder classics still earning their keep.

This is one of those of your masterpieces that I like so much, Scott!!
Wow. A CSS Coil car on the MRL. That OK's me for running 4 MRL Boxcars on my CSS HO scale Model Railroad. Thanks for posting another great video.
Scott,I give your video5stars!beautiful camera work and sounded exellent. Keep up these beautiful quality videos.
Terry Wallace thank you Terry !!!
Great video. Love the SD45s up front, which is my all-time favorite locomotive. Then, after that is DD40X.
You cannot beat these big girls!

Thanks Midland Compound. It was a real treat to see them working hard.
100% agreed!
Now, these are the right locomotives for the job! They are just right for service like this!
still the beasts of the rails wherever you see them, awesome video, thanks.
+Richard Drum I agree Richard. Sadly I think their days are over. MRL seems to hate them and would rather use SD40's.
well Scott, can't say that i'd blame them, the SD40's are real work horses and we still see a number of them here in WV driving on CSX and NS rails. those SD 45's are still my favorites, even at museums.
+Richard Drum Where at in WV? I still see SD40s on CSX around Huntington but I hardly see SD40s on NS anymore aside from local and yard service.

I like that V20 EMD 645 sound

Love these EMDs!
I’ve been up close and personal watching these type of locomotives pull Tehachapi Pass and yes they are very loud.
Superb video!
Thank you very much Blackrock !

SantaFe19484 thanks SantaFe
When I think of SD 45s, I think of broken crankshafts!
Stunning video

You don't hear any wheel slipping from these girls!
Wow, really impressive to see SD70ACes used as helper and not in front of the train...
Man, you need earplugs for those things.
