NS 098, with VALE ES58ACi and BB40-9WM locomotives for export to Brazil.

Thanks for watching Jack's "SHORT REELS", with some GE export locomotives that are head to port, and on to Brazil for VALE.
NS 9346 leads train 098, then a hopper car is an idler, followed by flat cars with both 6 axle trucks, and B-B trucks. There are a mix of 6000 hp ES58ACi, and BB40-9WM on heavy duty flat cars, with several box cars of parts that bring up the rear.
Video was shot with a Sony Digital 8 camera in April 2011 on the NS Pittsburgh mainline at mp300.5, CP PACK, Torrance, PA..

Great catch! Those are headed to my homeland, Brazil.

If ES58ACi had an EPA Tier 4 version you would have seen them running this route Seattle-Boston/Port Newark,NJ by splitting at Cleveland,OH for the climb over the Appalachian Mountains in Altoona Pennsylvania.

Steve I remember one time I took a trip to Brazil and I saw alot of those BB40-8s!

[@AlikStansberry]

Fantastic capture of those exports! I can’t imagine how those 6000 HP units would do working for US Railroads, I don’t think high horsepower units are wanted anymore these days.
Greetings from Tennessee.
