Gotta love the sound of the SD40-2's whine. In a very rare move, the 8104 was on Canadian National into Toronto last week. The Central of Georgia was on Canadian Pacific last year up this way. I got the message a couple of hours too late to catch it. Great video, as always AC.
AC, I dig your videos and your passion for these heritage units. #8025 Monongahela Railway Heritage Unit went by the house today here in Concord, NC heading north to the Spencer yard in Linwood, NC. Have a great day!
The line from binghamton ny to Albany ny is called the D&H susquehanna division. Most likely because it follows the susquehanna River most of the way to Albany
18:31 While the heritage unit was leading, another rare catch for me in its consist was the Dash 9 44CW #9961 trailing second. This is one of Norfolk Southern's newest and finest Dash 9 wide cabs. It was originally delivered in primer paint, which is called 'The Grey Ghost Era On NS'. This was done in T-155.
Catching heritage units? I am lucky when I catch anything at all. Usually I spend the day airing out my camera gear! Great video as always!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I want to thank you. This video came just when I needed it! It is wonderful as always! MERRY CHRISTMAS AC! NEW BEDFORD IS GETTING A SIGNAL! Looks like the T may really get here after all these years!
You're most certainly welcome, Bethany.. And Merry Christmas to you as well.. And that's awesome that you're getting a signal.. Now all you need is the train!
@@Trains21 They are working 24/7 to get the work done on time. In fact, I just heard a piece of equipment go through the crossing with a very loud horn at 6AM! This may not excite many people here but It did give ME a thrill!😃
4:24 Two CP SD40-2s are easing off the Luzerne and Susquehanna branch while they work the yard. They are on the rear of a northbound coal train to push up to Clarkson Summ.
3:413:40 The 9018 was built in 1988 by General Motors Diesels, the former Canadian subsidiary of EMD and sadly in 2017, it took 1 last ride to Chicago, IL where it was scrapped.
Absolutely love this video. Love the behind the scenes info and was great getting to see just how things don't always go as planned lol. But in reality thats just part of the fun of chasing trains. Merry Christmas AC from my family to yours.
4:21 Like the 5905 shown here in 2004, easing off of the Luzerne and Susquehanna branch and tacking onto a northbound to push up and over the Clark Summit.
5:145:15 Shown now coupled to the 5690 (what once was an everyday sight!) became the last time that I would ever see a solid lash-up of CP SD40-2s in Northeastern Pennsylvania.
Get it fast, it's looking pretty worse for wear.. And yes, I think we've all forgot to hit record at least once in our aspiring railfanning careers.. Me, many times!
AC love your channel you really give us a lot of information I feel I've learned a lot by just watching your videos I seem to know quite a bit about the East coast trains but don't know nothing about like West coast or Central northern states like Minnesota Iowa North Dakota South Dakota Wisconsin do you know anybody that does work in any of those areas I'd love to hear.
@@Trains21 yeah AC I did do that and there wasn't much of anything just these small roads and I'm looking for something bigger seems like the Midwest and upper North Central just don't have good trains here for some reason.
interesting note here about a comment you made about U P taking over several other "smaller" roads. by trackage mileage,,,,,,the old M P had more trackage miles than the original U P.
17:22 In another episode, I caught an AMAZING 🤩 coat of colour combination of Class 1s from 3 different points on the continent. This Technicolor Trio came up from the south into Allentown where it was transferred to today's 37T. So WHY aren’t earth when I shoot the dark side of a train...THIS COLOURFUL, instead of the normally sought after sunny side? HERE'S WHY! Need I say more? :) The good news was that I would get my revenge later that day, and it’s done in case of really good timing this time around, I was moving through town when I heard over the radio that today's train 14R was just down the hill. :D
As always nice video. There's just one thing I didn't quite understand what you were saying when the Canadian Pacific, Kansas City Southern and Union Pacific went by, you said there's a reason why you didn't take the picture on the Sunny Side of the tracks. I didn't quite understand what you meant or I didn't see what you were saying, so what was it? As always AC, nice video.
Cool video. Suppose I want to send a boxcar from Taylor to Oakley Yard ( Indiana and Ohio) in Cincinnati. How would you route it? Also, love the New York Central heritage unit. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, AC. Hope you are staying warm this winter.
Thanks Jim.. Yeah, it's pretty cold outside.. By way of NS, it would go north to Bingo and prob back south to Enola on 11Z.. West to Conway on 35A and then southwest from Conway to Chattanooga on 171 which works Shronville, Ohio (your neighborhood).
@@Trains21 At Queensgate they would probably interchange with the Ohio& Indiana. IDK about the Sharonville yard... but maybe. I was curious if it could be done. Then the I&O could send it to Madeira, but it would be just a drive through, since the spurs were removed about 10-20 years ago. I guess CSX did that after they took over the B&O.
Like I said, sometimes it is late when I'm finishing up these videos and when tired I sometimes read things wrong off of the script.. Don't always have time to proof read.. I also said that.. But yes, I did say F7A.. But if you look in the Community section you'll see that I identified them correctly as F9As meaning that I do know the difference.. But thanks for pointing that out, I suppose.
In the beginning radio traffic, was that Hagerstown? The voice sounds familiar and she always says ‘checkbox (number)” on the radio what does that mean?
It’s for a track authority form. Check box 2 means to check box two which gives your train permission to operate in whatever direction the dispatcher tells you to operate in.
_Conrail_ ok. Can you show me an example? I always hear this: “checkbox 3 work between Powell and Bristow on the main 1 between 1:30 in the pm that’s one-three-zero in the pm to 2:30 in the pm that’s two-three-zero in the pm over” then whichever train she’s talking to reports it back.
From the the start time to end time, they can always get the time extended, or if the dispatcher needs the track back, they go into a siding and cancel up.
Thanks Robert.. Yeah, who would've guessed that after spending 2 or 3 days putting a video together that when I'm finishing up at 3 or 4 in the morning trying to keep my promise to my viewers, that I might have a hiccup every now and again.
9:32 Plus two Canadians, which are the Kansas City Southern and Amtrak. If he said two Canadians, the Kansas City Southern and Amtrak, a white guy in black hair and a black shirt which looks both happy and angry 😃 will make an appearance on the bottom right of the US Railroad Lines by Ownership screen dancing, but he is very still on that screen's bottom right.

Stafford Northern Railroad that means the train has exclusive authority to make multiple reverse moves in the limits of the track authority form
From the the start time to end time, they can always get the time extended, or if the dispatcher needs the track back, they go into a siding and cancel up.
