0:53 right there the GTW 5936 is the last SD40-2 on CN that wears GTW paint
Sad to see them disappear one by one.... GTW lives on in memories and historical preservation :)

I like the CP power. ❤😊😊
What road was that center cab switcher? Betcha that loco is probably long gone by now….
That is the Detroit Connecting Railroad. DCON #4 is ex Detroit Edison 500HP GE 65 tonner that was built in 1942.
Thanks for watching
What’s the next show that has Steam and Diesel related stuff?
Steam and Diesel in Chicago!
Plets Express will release Reading & Northern RR Vol. One with both steam and diesel passenger and freight operations in mid-March 2022
What’s the next show after the Reading and Northern?
@@pletsexpress if I'm not mistaken, we've got the GT 5849 in MacMillan yard, Toronto Ontario
@Jeremiah Jeremiah Is it still in GTW paint?
@@pletsexpress Yessir
Railroading had a different flavor back then.
you're sure right, very different flavor indeed. Thank you for watching
Interesting as I grew up five houses away from a Grand Trunk line. This reminds me of being a kid as we would walk the tracks down to the Milwaukee junction back in the 70s.
4:45 a high hood Loco and a big ol Mercury Marquis.
Doesn't get any more 1970's than that!
for sure! great memories though..
Another awesome moment on the DVD at 1:05:45 is a 70s Oldsmobile passing by a high nose loco.
Lots of great looking older power. Great video! I know a lot of people don't like Detroit but I always enjoyed visiting on business. I think it's a very nice city. 😊😊😊
That was some awesome looking rusty equipment on the flatbeds! 😊😊
4433 is still in its paint I’ve driven past it near a grain bin on highway 131
"Oh, you know, the railroad is a mighty good line,
Workin' on the railroad.
Come on and ride the railroad, one more time.
