I was in Burlington 504 during the Diesel Parade. I was in the cab for alittle over 3 hours and rode the storm out in there. Looks like you got your carbide right after I got mine. Great video
Ya it's really a great day. The Illinois Railway Museum has a website and all of the events are on there. Diesel Days is the best. The dates are all on the site, so see what you can do!
+Andrew Bowe I believe the SD24 used a variation of the old V16-567 with a turbo on it. SD40/SD40-2 used a V16-645 with turbo. Both prime movers sound similar, but I have noticed that 567's have a slightly higher idle speed than the 645's.

Nice job you 2 or 3! Slap hands @ 22:21. Pass over that Big Mac!
i think this museum should try to get and save the GP10 Illinois central gulf still in its paint at the silva’s IL engine repair shop
Awesome! This video is incredible!!!
Nice video! It was great meeting you there :D
Good to see my too! We can hang on Thursday or whenever.

I was there during the storm too, but was taking shelter in the diner
Interesting spring switch there at the 21:30 mark
Great video!

What kind of prime mover is in the cb&q 504 sounds like it's an sd40-2 on an SD24 frame

The SD24 used a 16 567d3 engine at 2400 hp
What is that blue E8/9 behind that Alco at the engine house?
At what time in the video?
I think you're talking about the Metra F7
Do you just ask to get a carbide in the diesels during diesel days?
Have you ever been to IRM before?
yes i have
Sometimes you kinda need to know the engineers a little bit but most are pretty cool about it as long as your nice.
Ok.
Really hate that they painted the Sd24 to CBGQ. Should have kept it BN GREEN!

Aye you know someone copied this video right?
