Ah there’s nothing more exciting than an NS high hood traveling through the Pennsylvania countryside. Add in a P3 or Illinois Central’s Nathan P5 and you have twice the excitement you have
@@CentralPennRailProductions Yes! I actually heard a P3 on a Norfolk Southern EMD SD70ACe earlier this year, which is very rare. I actually would prefer it on the older locomotives than the newer ones. I actually caught that locomotive in Wauseon, Ohio, which is 33 miles from Toledo, Ohio.
Awesome video of local switch w the high hood engine! Can't say I've ever seen one of those b4 but very unique! Thanks for sharing your videos and I'm viewing them from the 1st state of DELAWARE.
Great catch! I'm glad I got to see one of these before they were rebuilt, but sadly, it wasn't leading. At least there's a high-hood B23-7 in my area though, I suppose. :P Also, the SOU's SD60s just really show how committed to LHF operation they were, lol.
Did you mean the SD40-2's? The SD60's were actually purchased 3 years after the merger, but by then Southern and N&W habits were still around. Interestingly though, N&W started going short hood / short nose forward with new orders on their SD40-2's and other locomotives starting in 1974.
@@CentralPennRailProductions The SD60s, but I guess they were technically built for NS. However, it's worth noting that the SOU still technically existed up into the 1990s, along with the N&W and other predecessor railroads, as everything wasn't quite merged together after the two company's got under one ownership. Hence why older NS locomotives could (and I believe sometimes can) still be found with SOU, N&W, CN&OTP, AGS, and other reporting but in NS paint.
Yes, most bi-directional units had a horn on each end! I thought one would never see something like that ever again in this day-and-age of cost-cutting, but Distant Signal had a great video on the new CSX ST70AH's that showed a mini 2-chime K horn embedded on the long hood!
Wow, I would call this real history with two units set up for LHF operation. Is it just me or does that seem like a lot of power for a fairly small local?
What was the big draw to have the long hood forward? Or is it reminiscent of the steam engines? For switching I guess it really doesn’t matter but for the long haul I would assume a low nose would be safer
OMGEVO!!!! Awesome video. High Hoods = Happiness.
Lol, thanks Drayton!
Thank you for all your amazing videos!!
I love me some NS. That is a nice catch there. Thank you so much for sharing. Thumbs up.
Love the High Hoods

Nice catches! I like the Norfolk Southern Hi-Hood EMD SD40-2, the Norfolk Southern EMD SD60, and the Nathan P3 Air-Horn a lot! Really nice!
I like the P3 too, although it has a bit of a squeal. It's such a rare horn to find on NS locomotives today.

This high hood SD 40-2 is the former Southern Railway
Super nice catch Cen Penn. They kept their crews very safe for a very long time.
I like the old horn on that high hood!! It brings me back to when I remember those all around me
Glad you liked it!

Wow, this is an awesome video! All kinds of cool stuff and I love the use of the maps too
Awesome catches and footage. Appreciate the description of what’s happening, as always. Thanks for your great hard work. Have a great weekend. - Drew
Thanks Drew!
To me, there's no better-sounding engine than the SD40's. Great video. Just subscribed since you're fellow Pennsylvanian!
Fantastic video, this video is a reminder that NS’s SOU roots aren’t as apparent today with all the rebuilds and such.
Good descriptions in the captions.

@@freebrickproductions Yeah that's a good point, they sub-lettered the entity responsible for the equipment. The CN&OTP still exists on paper!
Beautiful details! 👌👌👌 Subscribed.
Thank you for subscribing!
The SD60 is a good engine. Looks like the trouble-prone SD50, but what a difference. I think it was the first equipped with on-board microprocessers.
Nice catches
Nice Catch
Times sure have changed in the last decade
Indeed they have, thanks for the comment!
So 3201 had a P3 on the long hood and a P5 on the short hood. Interesting

That horn is the best horn ever besides the K5LLA
What’s inside the high hood? Anything?
Cp and cn were wise they buy asamu of the sd's they can rebuild them and put em to work love that diesel turbine sound raw power direct moto
High hoods Rock!!! For your next horn compilation do the K5H
I will have to see. I don't think I have that many K5H recordings.
Excellent Video

IT nice locomotive you might want to clean it
Sweet P3
Watco Had Some HH SD40-2 But They Are Gone Off The Roster

No it’s just a turbocharged sd9
