Very Nice Video! Gotta love IMO, the best diesel built. That third unit, 8256, is still in use in Richmond, VA at Acca Yard in RCO service as I see it just about every time I am down there. And that 8012 has one heck of a fine RS5T as well.
General rule of thumb for older CSX units is that nose light were ex Seaboard, high lights were ex Chessie. There were exceptions to that, but generally speaking that was the case
@FireCaptE9 I once stood inside of Natural Tunnel when a SOU coal drag with SD-40's was coming thru uphill. Too bad I had not taken my tape recorder with me....
@@TheRealJRC The RS5T is just about extinct except on the NS. They're the only class 1 that still keeps them around and continues to order them. It just sucks that the few out there are heavily restricted and cellinoid controlled which makes them sound nothing like they do in this video. Today's mandated horns are softer, more politically correct than what you hear here!
@@carlzipperman6689 This is true. I think the reason grade crossing and pedestrian/trespasser deaths have gone up is directly related to the effort to quiet train horns. Why don't we put the sirens and horns on the back of firetrucks an ambulances? That would be similar to what the FRA has done with trains. Makes perfect sense...why would I want to hear it before it hits me? *SARCASM*
Wow great catch ! love those old 645 EMDs! Could you imagine the sound in that tunnel if you could 'mike it" with them coming through??

That horn would scare the f**k out of Bigfoot
Epic video as always. Can't beat roaring 645's and the King of railroad horns! Awesome awesome upload. . .
SD40-2's are some of the best sounding engines out there.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video!
16-645 E3! The best sound ever! Realy nice video Greg!
I love the sound of this engine!
@Conrail2576 Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
The third unit is former Chessie. The first two were built for The L&N and delivered in the Family Lines paint scheme
Great catch!!
Greg has some of the best videos! It would be awesome to see a rocking chair sitting on one of those "porches" as they go by.😁😂
I've gotta say...this is one of my favorite videos on YT. I seemingly have to watch it every time I log in. Thanks again for uploading.
@cnwK5HR24 Agreed! Thanks for watching, glad you liked it!
@LongLiveConrail Thanks, Nathan! Yeah, those old SD40-2's are some fine units.
@trekky60 Thanks, George! Glad you liked it!
Were these once Chessie units...they sound very nice I agree, as well as the horn.

Nice video Greg. I like the camera position looking at the curve.
That railroad crossing alarm will make you jump right out of your shoes!
@Cristianoefc Thanks, Cris! Glad you liked the video!
Yep, those were some great sounds. Thanks for watching & commenting!
SOU5111 I'm
@FireCaptE9 Thanks! Yep, there would be some really intense sounds inside a tunnel with those 645's digging in.
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
I have the last engine in the consist (8256) in o scale!

Glad you like the video! Thanks!
I like the vid butt why is it going so slow is it because of a steep grade or turns
@madsexymanofthenight Steep grades + heavy tonnage + only 3 SD40-2 units (instead of the usual 4 units) = awesome pulling sounds!
For a 21 year old video, this looks very good!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed the video!
You can hear that whine and roar coming down the pike. Awesome. Beautiful.
Yea that's what I'm talking about! SD40-2's and a Leslie RS3L! Awesome bro!!!
GT Railroad Videos™ Actually that's an RS5T.
Very cool!
@cheechchongfan97 That is sad Chase! Thanks for watching & commenting!
@SOU5111 is all I got to say is chugga chugga choo choo i love trannes

To bad these monsters still don't ride the rails.
Dan Dowling YES! This is an awesome video! :D

EMD does it again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
fine video, although the 'intro' is a little bit long...
@TrainiacProductions Thanks, Kyle!
Ah, lovely RS5T!
pre-ditchlights and no tagging!! and SD40-2s in their prime! woohoo!
Excellent :)
Oh yeah, I so agree!
@Cristianoefc 16-645E3C lol
Agreed! Thanks!
Those SD40-2's can really pull tonnage. Great sounds too!
What horn model is that? Been looking for that for ages now.
In2anity R5ST
In2anity Leslie RS5T
Rs5t-rro
Oh yeah!
Very nice! God made EMDs to do two things: move a bunch of tonnage and to sound AWESOME. Oh, and the RS5T sounds nice too. God bless.
My how trammel has changed. All of the old Clinchfield Branchlines are abandoned and most of the old tipples are gone :(
