Bite Sized Oddities - GECX 609

During the 1980s, GE partnered with the US Department of Transportation to make a locomotive powered with coal, for some reason. However, there is a bit more to this locomotive than just being converted to run on coal.

I thought this was GECX 809 for a moment, either way this is awesome
Also 0:48 MISSOURI PACIFIC MENTIONED

[@Dawsonsrailfanadventures74]

Would be cool to see it donated to the lake shore railway museum in North East PA a couple years ago GE donated a demo AC6000 there

[@TheMrPeteChannel]

Would be nice if GE/Wabtec donates it to a museum.

[@Azzy-productions]

Great Documentary with the VHS effect!

[@syeet1234]

a video on GECX 809 would be cool

[@LongIslandRailfanner]

Love this unit, I hope GE Returns it to service on the test track, would love to see it burn Natural gas or perserved on another railroad

[@ATSF2926Productions]

Yes! More bite sized oddities! I love this series, keep up the great work!

[@Unessecary_windows_experiments]

I love these videos!

[@nathanchan4653]

Coal fueled GECX
“GE, why?”

[@cmdrflake]

This locomotive never caught a break.

[@ColoradoTrainNerd-xc9io]

Yay! New video!

[@TonyFleetwood]

Is there any way you could make this same video again, but without the horrendous filter?

[@syeet1234]

have you ever considered doing a video on the Jettrain

[@bobross4449]

Here we go, the fuckshit is here

[@NotDaender]

Pretty good! Maybe a little less static next time?

[@NWFProductions]

Nice Video, I would love to know how this "coal slurry" was supposed to work?

[@TheMrPeteChannel]

It burns like any other fuel.

[@anf_8310_ab]

1:50 is this just me but GE locomotive with CF code always end up being CompleteFailure
AC44C6CF and now C39-8CF

[@spamcan5]

What if you made a video or two talking about GECX 809 or GECX 5000?

[@hhwinterproductions8850]

Halton, could you upload a bite sized oddities on HMCR 8923?

[@buecomet831]

editing on this video is on point!

[@Nitroispro]

This video marks the last video I will ever watch in my childhood years

[@genesisrailfan1507]

"GE, Why????"

[@RiverbendRailfanning]

Do one on NS 3958

[@MattTheUPRailfan2006]

Yay😅

[@Comeng_]

Ok

[@SilverThunder710]

What goober thought this was okay

[@Amtrak_202]

1980

[@BNSF4706]

GE, y...

[@CoalChrome]

the goofy ahh

[@Slipperyisimproving]

GECX #609? Coal slurry fuel as locomotive power source. Thats interesting but not successful like the UP coal turbine. GECX #899 aka #609 aka #607 should be preserved due to its unique testbed journey.

[@shammshaw7901]

GE WHY!?

[@Countryballslover]

I like the vhs effect!
