Northern Pacific SD45 3617 Debut

[@kodachrome9319]

Neat. I was the engineer for most of the day. A fun day had by all.

[@NorthlandTrains]

+kodachrome9319 Thank you for helping make that day happen and making it fun!

Four years late to the show as I just found this video. I hope someone got overhead photos of 3617. Clean, clear shots of the roofs of NP hood units are rare and hard to find, but they would really help modelers decide how to paint the yellow ends and red separation stripes on the roof.

I have one overhead shot of 3617, taken a few years later (2019)

NIce video, great looking SD45, I have to ask as I can't remember seeing cars like the CN mini coal cars it was pulling...Are they a special use car? Have never seen them out East here.

[@NorthlandTrains]

+rich sheehan ore cars used for the Iron Ore mines in the area

[@goodeye03]

Thanks, just after I asked this question I saw a video with them loaded...Thanks, keep up the great videos...

aww was hoping to hear the sound of an a200 on that f unit, but that still sounds better than canadian P5s XD or k5llas

[@NorthlandTrains]

I have a couple other videos of the F unit with the A-200 if you're interested:

[@lydmik]

[@NorthlandTrains]

No problem, never hesitate to ask questions!

[@wildbill9919]

l'd like to see 3617, GN400, and BN5383 coupled together.

[@NorthlandTrains]

Well, GN 400 and NP 3617 are both in Duluth, so there's a chance at 2 of the 3.
