- This trip was awesome never seen nothing like it, in person that is,
LTEX is Larry's Truck and Electric. It is in McDonald, Ohio. LTEX is a rebuilder, reseller, a scrapper and a lesser of Locomotives, road and yard switchers. provides sales and repairs of parts.
The Ohio Commerce center in Lordstown, Ohio. is 476 acres, has 9 warehouses, and 8 concrete storage pads. the complex was built in 1942 as a military storage depot. The government sold the property in 1967 to the community improvement corporation of Warren, which was operated by the space center of family companies. which purchased the property in 1977. and sold again in the late 1980's not sure who the owner is now, but the property has leased to a diverse client base over the years, which includes, railroad repair, rail storage, transloading, and auto storage. no matter the name of the facility, most locals still call it the space center. main rail access is thru CSX but can also connect with Norfolk Southern.

Thanks again for stopping by and watching the graveyard.
WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW , I can't believe the amount of locos and parts they have . I don't know where to start , those CR switchers were sweet . Those funky looking UP's I thought were CF7 or something like them . I had to pause the video . They are RD20SD or CD's made by RailPower Tecnoogies ( RJ Corman) and what they do is rebuild old loco's into environmentally friendly hybrids .
That CSX 1320 was another Hybrid 9:40 I like this one more then the UPs. I don't understand why these are there , they look to be in good condition .
At 9:33 those locos behind the slug are slugs also . You can tell by looking at the long hoods , where the radiator fans and grills would be it's solid .
Ole #71 looks like it should be at Lordstown and some of the locos in there should be on the road.
Awesome awesome video Pappy , thanks for checking it out and taking us a long .
500 soon to be !
Wow Jerry that was some great info, cause I had no idea about the UP swichers I did like them, alot. And had no idea that RJ corman would be involved with that, I did point out in the video one of the full size slugs but I'm partial to the cut down slugs, I love slugs, I do agree some of these definitely look like they shouldn't be there unless its some kinda storage for later use, but the parts piles kinda say different. Definitely agree #71 should be in the scrap heap, glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you Jerry.
I wish they could rebuild a GG1 locomotive
They are nice locos, I think there are a few decent ones in museums, and some not so goodones as well, but would be cool to see one running again.
@@TriGogglin They probably could, but people are adamant and stuck on keeping the original parts, and those parts are shot, just put in new engine, a hybrid all electric motor, why not
Here's a little info on the Gensets. Pieces of junk. The Y899, if i got the number right. I remember the 99 part. Anyway, I paired it with one of our SD38-2's and not too long after that it developed a fuel leak from the fuel filter. I set the unit out. That unit and a few others were heading to Roseville and the two center windows were blanked over i believe with a metal plate at that time. Ours were delivered with wiper blades and non blanked center windows here in the Midwest. The Roseville units were passing through our area and, we gave them a "shakedown" run which is why i was told to mate it with my SD38. Eventually, we got our junksets the Y887 first then months later the rest followed. The 888, 889, 890, 891, 892, 893. Needless to say they are unreliable junksets. At one time there were three units mated to each other because all three had at least one issue the other didn't have. We've always had to continue using these units even with their reliability problems because their purchase was attached to a highway grant which, required them staying active or repay the grant back. Currently two might be heavy bad order in the diesel shop awaiting parts (my guess) and, the others are being assisted by SD40-2's and, two are actually mated to each other (probably the only units that have work consistently). Each of the engine pods cost $10,000 to replace. Each unit has had at least one pod changed a year. The looks are deceiving with locomotives. The gensets look great aesthetically but, mechanically they are shot. I'm assuming all the RP20 were built the same way minus a few minor things. If you ever model one the frame actually has a bow in it. When the fuel very is low the frame bows upward in the center and bows downward when full. Only the frame and trucks are original EMD. The stairs, fuel tank and, everything else are all either newly purchased or fabricated metal. Look for the number series of the units i gave you in the scrapyards soon because i think this year the grant ends and they can do what ever they want with them.
OUTSTANDING. ! My first load of steel was out of the mill in McDonald steel way back in 1971. Hauled steel and aluminum in and out of McDonald and Lordstown for 45years. I knew alot of drivers that Hauled GM cars out of the plant. Used to see all sorts of locomotives parked there over the years. ! Too bad most of the Good Jobs are gone from the area. Stay Safe and keep up the great work. 🇺🇸👍
Thank you Charles, that's pretty awesome you seen the area in its hey day, and watch the engines pile up, definitely a shame the area drifted that bad, thank you for watching and the great comment....pappy
Wow ! That was truly Epic seeing all those locomotives and slugs.. what a great find
I had the same excitement, It was awesome in person thats for sure. Thank you for watching
That’s insane! Wish he did tours of the facility. Just wow honestly!
Thanks nick. Yeah I would really love to get in and out of some of those cabs. The place is unbelievable.
Neat place! These locos are all still good and with a lot of hard work these locos could run again!
Lot of history sitting there, thanks for watching Dalton
Larry's Truck and Electric does lease locomotives. I have seen them numerous times on the AVRR in the Pittsburgh area. I can only imagine the hazards of going into those units, wasps, snakes, other critters. Would love to walk through the place with a chainsaw. The railroad that I once worked for(B&LE) would send their retired units to Larry's. I can only guess what kind of bank account he has.
Hi Bob, yeah I live close to the Ohio Central RR line and I see LTEX on a few of their trains from time to time, so it's cool to see them still being used some where and not scrapped..
@@TriGogglin Oh, so true. With a little repair/updates, who knows how much time a unit may have. The B&LE used sd38's until they were in the their 4-5th decade.
Holy cow! To think all of those locomotives were once brand new and served the American railroad! I would love to volunteer, if I were closer. Even just to cut back all of the greenery to expose some of those beautiful old girls! Great video!
Thanks Brad, yeah a big ol drum of weed kill would work too, 🤣🤣🤣 maybe I should make a winter early spring trip back there and see it with no weeds, really glad you liked it and appreciate you watching and leaving me a great comment.
Seeing videos of all the locomotives I saw in my childhood and where they are now is really sad! I've always wondered where all the CSX SD50s went and here they are. Resting and waiting to be scrapped. Really sad to not see these rebuilt like the old SD40s were. Thanks for sharing this train load of nostalgia!
Very welcome, I was amazed at this sight, I seen things in there I never knew existed. Some will be parted out, but sadly some will be scrapped
The GP50's & SD50's weren't well liked by the railroads because the 645F3's were unreliable.The motors were pushed to the max on how much horsepower they could handle and literally shook themselves apart.This is why EMD debuted the 710 series with the GP60's & SD60's being introduced.Alot of them were just outright sold or scrapped because nobody wanted to deal with them.This was just the second phase of EMD's reputation starting to go downward because previously some railroads dealt with units such as the SD45's,SDP45's,SD45T-2's,SD45-2's,
FP45's,and SD45M's which continously had nothing but problems with crankshafts and why only most of the SD45's were rebuilt.
As for the GP50's & SD50's,all that had to be done was interchange power assemblies from any 645E3's on the 645F3's to derate the horsepower or simply change the settings on the Woodward governors.But,this hardly happened on any of those units.
Interesting enough,the six MK5000C's from Southern Pacific that have been with Utah Railway for years now were rebuilt as M5000-3's with 645F3's but they were modified with 645E3 power assemblies.Their Caterpillar 3612 prime motors are becoming outdated on resources and expensive so they resorted to EMD rebuilds which were better on costs and longevity.
Great post. Not the first time I 've seen vids of Larry's, but each time I see something new. That place must be bigger than I thought it was. Be safe !
Yeah I could not believe how big it actually was when I was there, would love to go back ad see what got rotated out and what new has shown up. Appreciate you watching..
Wow this was truly impressive. I’ve never seen so many dead SD60’s, mostly NS. There’s just about every major railroads units there. Can you imagine the amount of money sitting stagnant there? It would take you a day or two to walk this place. Thanks for posting, very interesting 👍🏼😎🇺🇸
You are very welcome Stretch, I think the amount of money is beyond our imagination. I would live to spend a day there climbing on everything.
Not stagnant. They’re pretty successful with the business 😉 I was their family photographer a few years back and we did the session in both yards. Wonderful people
What an amazing collection of railroad history. Some really amazing stuff in there. Thanks for sharing this Pappy! Really enjoyed this peek into the past.
Very welcome Roy, but some looks good enough not to be in there. Thanks for watching Roy.
Really great video. Some of those looked like they were in really great shape. Must be internal problems. Thanks for sharing.
Hey there Val, totally agree, I thought some of those were in great shape. As well, some were in better shape than the train switching out cars at the end lol. Glad you liked it, thanks for watching, stay well.
Awesome tour of that locomotive storage facility Pappy. That was something truly different, so thanks a bunch.
That place was amazing to me, never seen nothing like it in person. Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching.
My favorite one so far. Awesome. I can't believe how much there is to see at this location. Looks great, Pappy.
Thanks Sarah, I am of the same opinion as you, couldn't believe what I was seeing, had to share it. Thanks for watching, and glad you enjoyed it.
@@TriGogglin I am very glad that I watched it.
Wow, I would like to have that whole collection in HO scale and they are already weathered. Thanks for doing this video Pappy.
HO, Oh man wouldn't that be something, couldn't believe some of the engines in there. Very glad you liked it. Thanks for watching.
On google earth the name of the business listed right at the building taking the locos apart says Larry’s truck and electric (LTE). I wonder if they are associated with the leasing company? Glad that bridge was there so you could get those overhead shots. Amazing place.
Yeah the web site says leasing as well.
Man pappy I’ve heard of this place. Thanks for getting in there and really showing what is there. Really cool video. It was neat to see all the old equipment
Glad I could show it to ya, been dying to get up there, opportunity knocked i answered, plus there's a drive in 5 miles up the road lol glad you liked it.
@@TriGogglin oh you like drive ins!?😉😝
It's nice to see some of the engines with their smoke slacks capped that means that their serviceable and probably available for rental.
Good eye, I didn't notice that. Appreciate you watching
Lol!!! Out of all the train videos I've seen here on UA-cam this one is by far my favorite. I really want to visit LTEX so damn bad.
Thank you very much Anthony, its nice knowing that it is appreciated and makes me wanna find more great stuff like this. I just put out a video on the rebuild shop ysrd in Huntington WV. There a lot of power sitting there as well, nut nothing like this.
@@TriGogglin Cool I will check it out very soon. Thank you very much for subscribing to the channel.
Very welcome, and thanks for your support
Oh if i won the lottery, I would try to get an EMD 8-645 engine, put it on a stand and take it to Vintage Construction Equipment shows and run it up. I think a Loco cab would be the most fun backyard playhouse for kids.
The cab idea is awesome. The lotto would be amazing, I would definitely have something in back yard for sure. Glad you enjoyed the video. Appreciate you watching
That looks like my type of play ground. I could vacation there. Great job on the video.
🤣 yes that would be so awesome to really spent time physically on all that, thanks for the compliment and for watching. Most appreciative.
Wow! That was a real eye opener! Some stuff I didn’t know existed. Sure beats railfan videos of mile-long unit trains from loco to ETU! Thank you very much for your efforts.
So glad you enjoyed the tour, I would like to get back to that location and see what has changed. There were a few things in there I also did not know existed.. appreciate you watching
I like the trump rail car
Yeah it was pretty cool, thank you for watching, very glad you liked it.
I would call it “one of a kind”. Is it for sale ?
I'm not sure what he was doing with it..
Love it!!!
This looks like the jungle gym of my dreams!
It would be a cool places to explore, didn't want to push my luck, I stayed in the car lol thank you for watching
Man. what a collection of. power Much appreation for your. fine presentation
Thank you, it is an amazing place, this is one of those places a drone would work well. Thank you for watching.
This is a great video! Can't wait to watch the rest later!
Thanks, its a pretty amazing place, and those U P gen sets are in there they definitely look the same to me anyway as whats in you video. Hope ya like it.
Enjoyed the tour of the locos great shots thumbs up
Thank you so glad you enjoyed it. Really appreciate you watching
Whoaa!! That's an awesome place, what a collection! Judging by the trees between trains, probably 3 years since some of those where moved, or they cut the brush between them lol. Thanks for sharing awesome video pappy! Some one needs to make that trump car in nscale wow thats cool. Slug 856 appears to be an alco body cool!
Lol you would know the trees there Ian. So very glad you liked it and I read somewhere that possibly the property owner had the trump car painted up. The slugs and the UP swichers were my favorite. Read Jerry's comment he found some good info on those. Thank for watching Ian, so glad you enjoyed it.
11:04 That engine used to be on the railway that I railfan. I was hoping you'd get a good shot of the ol' GP50.
Awesome, glad I could show it to you once again. Thank you for watching and pointing that out, I like when someone sees some they like in the videos.
Thank you So Much for recording this video and taking us along!! I had no idea that LTEX and SO Many units were there at the commerce center, even though I was aware that the Commerce Center, existed.
I guess we know what UP (and a few other roads) really think of their politically correct "gensets", and now I know where a bunch of them "disappeared" to. lol : )
Really sad to see so many of those EMD's going to waste & rust in the trees at the beginning of your video... and worse, that they (apparently) never even bothered to cover the exhaust stacks on all those naturally aspirated units that you "shot" from the bridge.
I can't imagine the horrible shape of those NA EMD 567 & roots scavenged early 645 prime movers are, after sitting all these decades (from the looks of all the trees and bramble growing up around them) with no exhaust covers and the accumulation of rain water, snow, dust, etc,etc getting down into the exhaust plenums and ports. Really sad! Definitely a mecca though, for EMD fans, especially.
Wow, thank you for this great comment, first so glad you liked the video, second you just said things I would not have even thought about. I really appreciate you watching and commenting. Thank you.
@@TriGogglin.... you're quite welcome and thank You, for taking time to reply, back to me.... Much appreciated!! This is the first video of yours that I happened to come across and watched.
I immediately "liked and subscribed" after watching it, as well as adding your YT channel to my RR folder of "preferred" RR channels.... and there are many that I've watched, but many of them do Not make it into my "preferred" RR channels folder for quick access. : )
I was a "head-end" brakeman for Class 1 RR back in the late 1970s and starting "OJT" as an engineer, until my wife (at that time) gave me an ultimatum one evening as I was called out for a west bound movement... she told me to make a decision of "either the railroad, or us" before I came back home again...... I should have stuck with the railroad!!
@@Romans--bo7br wow thank you for the preferred list and sub most appreciative, sorry but I got a laugh, from your ultimatum 🤣 if you go back thru my channel, I try and catch the interesting stuff as much as possible, I have caught several heritage ns units, although not. All are posted yet, and I did a drive around Huntington WV csx repair shop that ill be posting in a few days lot of engines in this one. To me its great you worked the RR something i had thought of doing in my younger years but chose military then started a family so wasn't a thought again now im just a fan. its definitely a hard on a relationship job. Thanks again for your great comments, hope to see you here again thank you.....pappy
@@TriGogglin... Well, thank you again for your nice reply... I Do appreciate it. Looking forward to your new postings in the not too distant future.... in the meantime, I will go through all your past railroad videos and enjoy those for now. : ) Til next time.... stay warm & "well".
You must have wanted to stay all day. Thanks for sharing, David
Oh I did, that place is awesome thanks for watching.
Wow is right. Love browsing around the boneyard. Nice video
CSX doing a good job filling up boneyards everywhere. That's your precision railroading everywhere.
Yes I wish this were closer to me so I could see the rest of it. Thank you for watching.
GREAT TRIP AND VIDEO PAPPY. THANKS FOR SHARING
Welcome Joe, glad you liked it, thanks for watching.
Alot of good power sitting there. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching, hope some of it returns to service
@@TriGogglin Back in the 90's when I drove a Flatbed. I use to go by their original operations (the Y&N shops) on my way to the Astro Shapes foundry with loads of aluminum sows. It was always interesting to see what was sitting down over the hill. Again thank you for sharing and it would be great to see some of that power running again.
4:42 holy cow that is one mean bent crankshaft. Wonder what the crazy story is behind that. Thanks for the really nice video.
Don't know how I missed your comment. That is one crazy looking crankshaft, glad you liked the video, appreciate you watching
Nice to see an update I went there last year, I'll have to go again to see what's changed
Thanks, first time there for me, I'd like to go back, that place is amazing. Thank you for watching
I bet you got a lot of modeling inspiration there!
Good Wednesday Morning my friend!!
Sure did Anthony, I may do a small scrap yard like that, its pretty cool to see.
Hey Pappy! I'm slowly making my way through your videos. You it the jackpot with this one!
Oh Robert you have no idea, I been wanting to see lords town for ever. And there you go. I was in heaven.. so glad you enjoyed it as well..
Use to run the G M 20 In Hamilton, Ohio in the 90s at champion paper mill. Great Miami railroad.
Thats awesome. Always wished I would've been a railroader, but life had other plans.. glad you enjoyed the video, appreciate you watching
To kool. Thanks for pointing out the Ohio Central’s. Oh and slugs are nice till they eat your garden! Lol. Thanks for the video.
Lol Darth, need some salt for those slugs, thanks for watching glad you liked it.
That was an awesome video. I saw all kinds of types I've never seen. Thanks for that
So glad you enjoyed it Don, I too seen a few that were new to me when I went thru, I should go back there and see what has changed. This place is amazing. Really appreciate you watching
Very cool, thanks for sharing!
Your very welcome, thanks for watching
I need to find out where our PB Class, used in the local steel mill, that were rebuilt some where in that area.
Also amazing to see how many engines are in storage, or been withdrawn due to the down turn in coal sale, mining and exports. Early last year here, many engines didn't sit around for to long as they were cut up and sold for scrap.
Hey Arty, yeah I think this crazy economy is killing our trains for sure. Thanks for watching.
Top locomotive 🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃 nice vidéo likes 👍
Thank you, Appreciate you watching
Super awesome video.
Thanks 👍
Thank you, so glad you enjoyed it thank you for watching
Wow so many engines!, pretty cool!.
Thanks Steve, yeah this place was amazing, ill have to get back up there. And see if the inventory changed... appreciate you watching
You drove right by the building where I work. haha Thanks for some info that I didn't know about. Take Care and Cheers
Awesome, would be cool seeing this every day and seeing the new things that would show up. Really appreciate you watching and commenting. Happy 4th 🇺🇲🇺🇲
Awesome. Thank you.
Very welcome, appreciate you watching and for the comment, happy 4th 🇺🇲🇺🇲
Ahh you found my collection. LOL. Awesome find, Pappy. I don’t think I heard of Lordstown, Oh before. Thanks for sharing. That was a great tour.
That would be an awesome collection to have, wouldn't it. Lot of awesome locos. Could have stayed all day. Glad you liked it.
@@TriGogglin 😎👍🏼
Awesome video, really enjoyed your show today
Thank you Dave, there was great stuff in those line ups.
Thanks good trip
Thank you, really appreciate you watching
Thank you for posting. This sort of vedio is makes me wonder what I can do model railroaded wise. I have put this vedio to some of my mates with credit to the the fellow who filmed this. cheers from Australia.
Thank you, so glad you enjoyed it, and I really appreciate you sharing with your mates. Parts of this would be cool to see in model form.
Wow! What a great find!
Yeah I still can't believe what I saw up there, glad you enjoyed it too. Appreciate you watching and commenting
Nice!!!! Looks like its changed since I was last there! Nice stuff!!
That place is awesome, glad you been there, so you know exactly the lay out. Thanks for watching.
Cool place and great old stuff. If I go see it I will bring my Husquavarna. I bet they would gladly trade a tour for some tree work maybe a steak dinner. 😁
There's definitely alot going on here. Was so cool to see. I wouldn't mind going again to see if the inventory has changed. Appreciate you watching
Aladdins cave! Thanks for the video mate 😎💯👍
Yes quite the collection, Thanks for watching.
I love EX Amtrak F40PHR unit 404.
Very glad I could show it to you. Thank you for watching.
@@TriGogglin Your very welcome.
Cool
Thank you So glad you enjoyed it..
Hope they get back on the Track 👣 some day , at least a few of them 😮!!!!
Yeah there's some really nice ones in the mix, I have seen some go back out as leased locos to shot lines, so thats good.. appreciate you watching
Thanks for the video
Thank you for watching, most appreciative
Cool man👍my new 5th line end at a future reclamation loco yard.using the mystery box of engines.This is reference for me.
Thats awesome, if you go on Google earth you can see the McDonald ohio one real well, glad I could give you some reference.
Man, that’s fantastic.
Yeah it was Incredible, I should go back and see what has left and what has shown up. Glad you enjoyed it, appreciate you watching
I’ve done repowers on some sd40s and a couple other models built a lot of new locos also definitely miss that place
This place is just freaking amazing, I need to go back and see what changed. Appreciate you watching
It never stops to surprise me how the Class1 carriers can get rid of some fairly new and decent locomotives. Locomotives, that if it was my railroad, would still be in service or stored serviceable. Alot of the GE stuff I would put out to pasture, but the GM stuff is worth keeping.
Plate C
Yeah we will probably never know the logic behind big corporate. And the money waste that they do.
The more units that are on the rosters includes more taxes that have to be paid.When there is more than enough units,until freight traffic increases or there's a power shortage,then they're not needed and will be put in storage.Or when units become outdated they also will be put in storage or scrapped if it means more profit in return than keeping some and rebuilding them.
Many EMD units within the last thirty years aren't really worth the rebuilds except for the diesel motors.GE units have better traction motors while obtaining stronger tractive effort which makes them great pullers.EMD slacked on this thanks to Siemens and their unreliable traction motors.
However,traction motors from almost any EMD unit do load quickly which gives them the advantage of accelerating faster and great for switching,but they aren't useful when it comes to serious tonnage.Another thing to note is that EMD's dynamic braking sucks while GE's is great.Basically,GE has always been more technologically advanced than EMD while EMD always provided units and diesel motors that will keep running no matter what,one of these is what keeps the railroads interested.EPA regulations killed EMD because their 567's,645's,710's are two stroke and produce higher emissions.
Quite obviously there is still thousands of units out there but further production was discontinued and CAT/PRLX ruined the reputation by trying to make more failed Caterpillar rebuilds.
There's reasons why more EMD units keep ending up in storage from Class 1 usage with lesser rebuilds being invested while GE units are everywhere and rebuilds are starting to become more common,espiecally since Wabtec now owns General Electric.
The last greatest EMD units were the GP40-2's & SD40-2's which have continued to outlive many other units.
That is a very tight canal, no margin of error
Thank you David for watching.
Choo choo! I'm a train and I approve this video! 🚂
Thank you, very glad you like it.. appreciate you watching
Old Blue and Yellow Sante Fe caught my eye.
Awesome, that is my favorite Santa fe paint scheme.. it just looks good.. glad you enjoyed the video.
@@TriGogglin Enjoyed your video big time. Dacades of rail history sitting on the rails.
Looks like .many of those locomotives were just brought there for storage.
Be interesting to know what the cheapest and most expensive engine was and the average cost between all of them.
Yes that would be interesting facts for sure. Also wonder if he'd sell random parts to the average guy off the street.
I somehow missed this video. Pretty neat place. Looks like someone needs to get a Weedeater out of the Storage Building. Lots of cool stuff.
Thanks Matt, no worries I miss alot to, that place was awesome
@@TriGogglin It looked like it. If someone was looking to get a good Photo of a Discontinued Road Name this would be Heaven. Sure was a great video to watch.
Wow, never knew that of a place like that was in Ohio. Did you just drive in the Lordstown yard like that with no problems or had to ask for permission? Thanks for creating this video!
Just drove In, they say the gate is hit or miss if its open or not, and there are other businesses in there. Didnt see any no trespassing signs. Appreciate you watching.
ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL video PAPPY!!!! I'm glad you told me abt this one! Idk where to start, I've never seen so many HIGH HOODS, SWITCHERS and SLUGS ever! Man I'm TOTALLY IMPRESSED with this video and hope to make it to OHIO to see this up close! I'd certainly be in my glory around that place and would have to see if the door was unlocked on them to get my pic from the CAPTAIN'S OFFICE! Was wondering if you take pictures when you're out doing videos. If by chance you do could you send me one to add to my railroad room I'm creating? Only reason I ask is because I'm a disabled Delawarian due to a hereditary nerve disease and don't get out much. I'd frame the picture to hang w the others that other UA-camrs have sent me. Thanks for sharing this video and thoroughly enjoyed it and I'll be watching more for sure my friend!
Wow Shawn, so glad I was able to bring this to you, I don't are pics or i would definitely send you some. What i do is pause my videos of where I want then take a screen shot of the video,, so when you see pics in my videos thats how i got them there, it works great on the phone, and you can do it off of youtube videos with a screen shot. Feel free to do that to any of my videos. There is one more you may like that may have an engine or 2 for ya it is the CSX Heavy rebuild video 12 days back from today. Thank you again for enjoying my videos. Stay well and warm.
@@TriGogglin I'll certainly check that video out! And thanks for giving me the ok to take pics from the videos. Certainly appreciate it just like I appreciate you going out and making videos to share w us!
@@shawnpowell5876 any time Shawn, any time. You are welcome.
One of those wide body Amtraks would make a cool small house.
Oh for sure, I would love anything like that, a caboose, a boxcar, a loco, that would be amazing. Appreciate you watching
I think this was the place that Loco was rebuilt.
That is cool, I know this place does a lot of that then leases them out, or sells them off.. thanks for watching
Awesome video buddy hate to see em go
Yeah me too but it was awesome to see them all in one place, some will be parted out.
9:09 Amtrak Genesis 801
Those were pretty cool, I didn't know the model, but was surprised when I seen them there.
Just saying, metra coulda bought the Amtrak F40 locomotives. Just might need some repairing to do ;)
That would be awesome to see them out and about again. But yeah definatly needs some work. Really appreciate you watching. Hope to see you back soon
Steam locomotives you can rebuild forever and at the time of their scrapping in the late fifties there were many that had served 40 or 50 years plus. Many of the first generation diesels barely lasted up to their lease expiration. When you see 70 plus year working everyday at some short line or industrial Railroad and then you see all of these great big haulers that are 50 years newer sitting in a graveyard. Of course the older units is nice and simple and you can keep them working forever. It is a whole lot less work and expense to keep something in serviceable condition than to fix it after it's been derelict for a while.
There are quite a few in this line up that look amazing. Maybe they will run again. Be cool to see that.
i also love thpose switchers and slug units thank u
Yes, I really likes slugs as well, getting hard to find any more.
Nice video! 7:41 CREX 1521.
Thank you, appreciate you watching, glad you enjoyed it.
Better looking CSX equipment in the yard then the engine CSX 71 at the end of the video
🤣🤣🤣 I was thinking the same thing that day, seems like they should of traded it out.. glad you enjoyed it, appreciate you watching
Great video I subscribed
Thank you, so glad you enjoyed it. And thank you for joining the fun.. appreciate you watching hope to see you in the comments again soon.
I also see EX Amtrak F40PH unit 344.
I seen a few in there that I thought were long gone.
@@TriGogglin Even unit 369???
That is really sad. All of those great locomotives rotting away.
Yes it is sad to see, but cool in a way, plus this company does resale on parts and some get fixed and sold, so at least some of it doesn't go to waste, thank you for watching and commenting much appreciated.
@@TriGogglin and for those that didn't make it, I wished I died with them.
@@zacharycalgher6001 no no Zach, we gotta keep on rolling down the tracks, just like some of these will again..
@@TriGogglin okay
Oh an Amtrak train
Seeing those were great, I forgot all about that model engine. Thank you for watching.
F40 344 still around I see.
Quite a bit still around, there was an OC engine at McDonald's that I didn't get to video, that I havnt seen for a while. Thank you for watching
This is hundreds of millions of dollars in train engines, just sitting.
Some yes, but some he parts out, and some he fixes and leases out, but sadly some go to scrap.. bit it's all cool to see, sure appreciate you watching
if I had my own railroad heritage Museum like Strasburg or Illinois railroad Museum I wish I can afford to save these locomotives and repainting for my fictional Railroad Museum I hope 😔🙏
Oh for sure to have that kind of money and power would be amazing.. this place was amazing.. appreciate you watching
@@TriGogglin I appreciate that (≡^∇^≡)
That loco you passed by 3906 baja railroad from tijuana México i got to see it roll by my neighborhood everyday here in tijuana but wheres the other 1 they had 2 a like blue,white,green color scheme
Wow now that is cool to know, thank you for telling me this, glad you recognized it here, maybe the other is still operating some where, thank you for watching and the comment
Please do a video on Cabose scrap yards. Would love to own a Cabose and have it displayed on my country property.
I'm not aware of any caboose scrap yards. Most, if they havnt been snapped already, have been put in museums or on display in towns across America. I've done two videos at the end of each year of the ones I found,. You should check them out, their called road side finds 2020 and 2021
This is what happens when your model railroading gets out of hand. It starts with a Lionel train set around the Christmas tree, then it just gets out of hand after that.😁😁😁
Lol, I don't have that problem,(wish i did) but i know a lot of people who do... 🤣 appreciate you watching and commenting
I think I read that those NS slugs actually ride on trucks from cut down Fairbanks Morse trainmaster locos.
Not sure from what, but I know their cut down from pre-existing engines just not sure or which ones, I have been in live chats that they had talked about that but I can't remember what engine is what lol they need simple names like cars have, then I'd be better at it.
those trucks don't look like FM trucks. they look like Baldwin trucks.
What will happen to EX Amtrak F40PHR unit 404??? Please let me know.
Hello Anthony, im not 100 percent sure what happens to any of them, and I'm kinda far from this location, so not able to check in on them from time to time, but if I do find out, I'll post it up.
@@TriGogglin OK. I really want those EX Amtrak F40'S to be safe from scrap.
I've worked on quite a few of those Units
Thats awesome, glad I could show you them again, hope its good memories.
You make some fantastic videos, thanks for your efforts.
@@j.m.youngquist419 thank you, I really do appreciate that. It means alot.
Les aseguro que si nos mandaran varias de esas locomotoras a mi pais para el corredor interoceánico las tendríamos trabajando como si nada pues en mi pais con una visita que den a ciudad hidalgo las pondríamos hechar a andar otra vez
I apologize it will not translate for me.. I do appreciate you watching 👍
I bet copper thieves love this place
Ooh, man never thought of that, bet your right. Lots of windings on those motors.
excellect job i knew about the mcdonald side butt not the lordstown part i live about 40 minutes from both of themm thanks
Thank you, glad you liked it, if you get past that way, its something to see. Thanks for watching.
Man, how many NS & UP locos/trains do they even have?
Thats a good question, couldn't imagine the number, but it constantly changes I should go back and see what's been moved out, appreciate you watching
If they get any r32 new york cars I'd have to purchase them all the Nostalgia of ny carts heck people with buy doors off em if the make replicas heard a bunch of them came to Ohio for scrapping
Oh wow, yeah would be cool to know the scrapping place. I'm not to close to this place or I would go take a look.. appreciate you watching
Remember guys, LTEX SD40T-2 #8532 was repair and it retired and it never run again in 2008 and it sold in the Midwest. It was s scrap around 2017.
Thank you for that info, did not know this, appreciate you watching..
@@TriGogglin okay, your welcome!
Do you think MMA 5023 and 5026 are somewhere in that assortment of locomotives?
Oh, yeah not sure, I ran thru thete so quick. There was more way in the back that I never got back there to see..
it is so sad that these machines are not recyclable
Thanks for watching, in a way they are being recycled very slowly, this company parts them out, and some get rebuilt and sold, but yes im sure some are just rusting away. Thats very sad for those ones.
9:15 Amtrak 811 was involved in silver spring train crash
That I Did Not know, thank you for the info, and watching
