Wish more people were like Kevin, take a interest in things even though its just a job and try to save them when the time comes, alot of history was lost because nobody cared. But on the flip side of that, alot was also saved because people cared and went out of their way to do the saving. I enjoy these videos very much, please keep making them.
It's getting rarer and rarer to find people like that in the railroad industry because the railroads lump those people in with the annoying foamers and don't hire them. Don't let them find out you like trains or you'll never work for a class one railroad. Don't ask how I know.
@@PowerTrain611 Oh I know, applied for a job at a short line and had to ride along with the one job for a day, that was the first question of the employees after they told you how much they hated their jobs, was do you like trains, of-course I knew the game and said no, and they said good, we don't like or want those people................I thought to myself what a stupid thing. Was actually offered 2 jobs there and declined both of them, the work culture there was way to toxic for me. Seems someone with an interest is what you would want..............It has every place else I ever worked????? Probably why the industry is in the place it is, loosing to trucks every day(Ironically some of what I did).
@@tpfromcentralpa1692 Right! They say if you do what you love, you'll never work a day in your life. The railroad took that far too literally. They would likely have a much more positive work environment if it wasn't a large group of humans who are shells of their former selves who sold their souls to corporate america and perpetuate the persistent pestilence that is perplexing us as people... ...but what do i know. They won't hire me.
Always grand to see an unwanted machine coming back to life. Keep up the great work. SD40-2 is my favourite of the American diesels. The modern ones have no personality.
Those Gardner Denver WBO compressors are pretty darn robust and reliable, but when they go, they GO. I've seen quite a few that literally blow themselves to smithereens. Always a good idea to keep spares on hand....
This museum needs more manpower and visitors.
I've been to it twice and they do a good job with what they have

Thank you for the grass roots videos. These are excellent! I hope to come to the museum soon.

That was a staggering amount of rust you blew out of that head! Can't wait to see you get it installed on 8954 and fire it up and test it out.
Thanks for sharing your work, enjoy the videos.
thank you!
