Diesel Locomotives Long Hood Forward
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 жов 2024
- In railroading, "long hood forward" describes a practice of operating a diesel locomotive with the operator's cab positioned toward the rear of the unit and the long section with the engine compartment, called the "long hood", at the front. While many early diesel locomotives used to be run in this fashion, it is now somewhat unusual to see out on the main line. In this video, we take a look at locomotives running long hood forward on main line freight trains as well as on a tourist railroad.

Great job Mike!
It’s great seeing the old Southern RR style still being used.
Everytime I drive through Beaumont Texas I see a yellow bonnet and a pumpkin triclops with a sd40-2 cascade green BN running a local. The amount of fallen flag power in and around Houston and the ports i don’t understand how there’s not more film on UA-cam. I drive through there weekly and always just tell myself I need to spend a day filming a amazing variation of the railroad movement down there in the yards and the plants.
Thank you for the information and great catching all the trains, I like the Union Pacific Railroad, BNSF Railway, & Mt. Hood Railroad, Mike Armstrong, thank you.
So many cool trains in this video! Love that Mount Hood Railroad train (and with Mt. Hood in views), and seeing the Iowa Pacific car, good stuff! Great video as always Mike, thank you.
Amazing video! Something I like about long hood forward locomotives.
I saw a long hood forward running on the main once in Howarth Park, just got there in time to miss it.
Nice! I caught a few units running long hood forward from a GP9 on tourist railroads to a GE ES44AC on a regional railroad in Iowa.
I saw BNSF GP 2100 running hood forward as it switched freight cars in the BNSF Vancouver Railyard in February earlier this year
Fantastic video!! Really cool to see these long hood forward trains.
Nice catches. Friday is the best. 🙂👍🏻❤️💖
Nice long hood running action
Some lines ran long hood forward as a practice. Some have control stands on the other side, I have even seen them with two control stands on both sides of the cab, one for one direction the other for the opposite direction.
Beautiful video of these diesel locomotives pulling the trains in reverse motion. I had videoed the John Bull locomotive (The original), The New York City Subway system, New York Transit Museum, The Washington D.C. Metro trains, and the Amtrak Train (From New York City to Washington D.C. on the Northeast Corridor).
Fantastic video with great freight and passenger trains in great scenery. Thank you for showing me. Greetings from Germany
Another great job Mike!
Oh hell there Just a Random Railfan.
Absolutely fascinating video Mike! Great video quality and awesome production! ❤
Nice Catches Mike!
In Bellingham the Locals Usually run not long hood forwards but ive seen some in my Life (Not Moving) and most of the time its one engine but it can be two ive always wanted to see these moving but never saw them
That's a term I had not heard before - thanks for the railroad slang.
Increadible shots with some amazing catches & scenes! Your videos never fail to impress!
Great audio, thank you
Another great video and love the locos running long nose first but can't understand why they blow the horn so much, here in Australia most only blow the horn once before a road crossing and we don't have bells on the loco like the states.
Love the old trains as the tourist train in this video..
Very cool that BNSF with a caboose in trail.
In many countries, mostly European countries, desiel locomotives have a cab on both ends. That makes it easy for the locomotives to turn around and couple on the other end of the train.
dang, that first one is long hood forward AND a caboose - double unicorn!
Locomotives pulling the train backwards, which is very rare.
No ditch lights, or no ditch lights flashing when running backwards.
Fantastic video Mike
Great video like 2 months ago I caught a Union Pacific SD40-2 Long hood
👍👍👍👍👍Thanks Mike.
I saw the Union Pacific Salt Lake City SD70 long hood forward in 2019
Greetings!
Super Cool!
Nice catches!
Great video 👍😁
That was a good thing one😊
Nice vid!
I saw this kind of thing on the fife local between Kent and Fife
Cool video
Very nice
Waooow,,. Mantap lokomotifnya 👍
Awesome video Mike! Beginning of the video, man that horn sounds way too fouled
Coaster got cem cabcaf they arrived qlready
nice video👌👍👍
Hi
@CoasterFan2105 I have been watching some of your steam videos and I see flames coming out of the bottom of the firebox at times. I believe i saw a heisler doing so. I'm wondering, with all the wood chips, creosote rail ties, train oil, and with it operating in the pine forests, how did these not start fires?
Nice Video

How does the engineer operate the control when running long nose forward?
same way as the forwards running, just craning the neck backwards
Turn the seat around and sit the other way....
Some locomotives are actually set up with the control stand on the other side, pointing that direction. NS in particular ran long hood forward. This was common practice in the 70's. It was thought to be safer.
@@berrytharp1334 Useful answer.
What are the 2 white boxes on top of BNSF 2086 around the 6:00 mark? One looks like a camper AC unit
Exactly what they are. Cheaper to replace at 1200 each than to service prime a/c units that cost 6000
So which way does the engineer's station face? Is the control station moveable or reversible?
literally like more than half of these are in bellingham
it's like in Indonesia the long hood
Man, this US train are goddamn big and why they always moving slow and turning their bell on everytime?
Can you do train simulator classic
