Hello everyone, this is part two to my old video at Larry's Truck and Electric. This was shot in late December 2019. I was very surprised by how much things have changed there since last year. This is in Mcdonald, Ohio. LTEX has another facility in Lordstown. Again, this isn't trespassing, and the drone is much higher in the air than it looks in the footage. Thanks for watching.

![[4K] Hundreds of stored CSX locomotives in the Cumberland, Maryland yard!](/img/n.gif)
A whole line of engines that where there when I went are now gone forever scraped it's so surreal
These engines, like any other mechanical device, eventually wear out. Remember, these were all hard-working vehicles. LTEX supplies re-furbed units, and uses parts from the old iron to make the refurbs. Responsible re-cycling gets done, too. Larry's Truck Electric, founded by the now deceased dad, Larry, God rest his soul, always remained true to the Mahoning Valley. The brothers save and sell. It's a business and a passion. Enjoy the views and the memories.
Very sad, some of my favorite locomotives are there left to rust.

This is the reason I am trying to start a railroad
It's the reason I want a drone!
Thats what i ALWAYS wanted to do How do I start???????
@@thomasabramson100 start raising money
LOL
reminds me of the very good old days, when we would take a trip to chicago and photo the BN E units.
i even rode behind a couple too.
This is so sad to me, all these locomotives just rotting away instead of going to good use. They look like they still have a lot of life left but there they sit, waiting to be scrapped
Some will be reused as whole engines. I saw some recent lease marks on a few (LTEX, this facility).
Other than that, their parts will help other units live on.
Yes, sad, though. Esp. when that single-stack train whizzed by and the camera transitioned to the old guys "watching" the younger whipper-snapper do its stuff.
Ikr This is so painful
You know you can buy these right? Just offer money and if they accept it you bought one and by all yall say it "saved it"
An excellent video. Hello from the Tracy Mountain Railway in Colorado. ♡ T.E.N.
I know this place well I used to pickup loads at the big red building in the background.
What was the industry then?
Great video & drone control. Loved the sad music, too.
I just realized you use a DJI Spark. Such good results from an entry level drone. I guess size doesn't matter much in this area either.
;)
If you think about it, even though it’s sad that these locomotives are out of service, at least they’re in a place and area where they can be recycled, unlike abandoned finds that are no where near civilization and they can never see the day of being reused or repurposed. Here in this facility, if they are torn apart and parted out and sent wherever in pieces, at least it’s doing a good thing to the environment plus recycling and scrap metal does pay out quite a lot. So in my opinion it’s a good thing this video showcases, which is these abandoned locomotives are in good hands of people who have a job to repurpose and recycle.
The Missabe units would be good value. They did excellent maintenance.
So many cool things to see.
Great video! I need to gt to LTEX to see this facility for myself.
I counted 8 or 9 f40s (maybe 6 or 7. I wasn’t sure if the wisconsin central cowl units were fp45s) still existent in “defininetly going to be scrapped” condition plus 1 already scrapped f40. Additionally, I noted 4 rare BN E9s! Sad to see them like that! Commuter veterans!
They're actually F45s, 2 out the 4 survivors. They've been there since 2007 so they might be saved, who knows
Frames get cracks after years of hard use. Electrical wiring begins to decay with age. Components just wear out and need to be replaced, and eventually replacing the entire locomotive begins to become cheaper than fixing up and replacing all of the old worn-out parts on the older locomotives, that's why locomotives have a finite lifespan. However, smaller switching locomotive for yard work are not being made anymore, so old ones should be rebuilt where ever possible.
I agree, sad to see Mother Nature having her way with all that old iron. On the bright side you got to fly your drone. Stay safe.
At one point in time, many of these units lead some mighty fine and long powerful trains! At one point in time, many of these engines skirted past much older equipment rusting away!
One day in the future, those GEVOs will eventually share those very same places where these engines rust!
Wow, lots of SD-39s and SD38s here.
To all you cryers these engines do and are having the ability to be sold, just nobody has picked them up. Id just express interest in one, list a amount of money and if you get it boom. You technically "saved" the locomotive from scrap. But do keep in mind most are parted out.
That place would be easy to get in to .
Wow look at all of those DMIR units in the beginning makes me lucky to still see one left on the BLE and can you do this again because I really want to see Ex painted Conrail 7803 and 7822 again
4:03 What is that Amtrak F40PH?
In another video there was a very cool New York Central F7 parked there and still wearing it's NYC colors. It would be a real shame if that got scrapped. You see less and less of the Santa Fe blue bonnets too... I hope some of these get saved.
No way! The WC F45s are still around!
Yes they are around here 2020 like ATSF SDF45 #5965 & ATSF SDF45 #5972 which both them are in Wisconsin Central paint colors are WC #6654 & #6655 of SDF45 cowl body units hope the both SDF45s they will get refresh life and back to their Santa Fe YellowBluebonnet passenger & freight paint colors back on them once they do find their new railroad home museum hopefully 2020 will happen this month december before 2020 be a come year closer.
I hauled a load of steel channel out of USS Mc Donald works in 77!
Great video! Definitely liking and subscribing! Thanks. T4
It is sad to see this they can be fix again try in2020
It’s a sad sight, but a better fate than being cut up for scrap.
Where is Amtrak 369?
Why do we waste so much, like airplane graveyards, all we do is keep building ,is this the meaning of keeping people employed ??
fed gov regs about pollution results in RRs updating power.
Planned Obsolescence ! It keeps the future rolling a long !
RIP amtrak f40ph 369
I was there before it's a sad place but the new castle sub is right next to It
Are the dash 8’s gone
I always thought maybe I could restore them as Operational as For hauling tourist passengers attraction as Alpine Western Railroad Co.
0:05 can you see the Csx train?
One GE pulling in intermodal train without a second or DPU unit
Lot’s of old BN lease power.
Are the Conrail 6 axle 637s gone?
I think so
Guess the BNSF train was not in
Oh if I were a billionaire!...I'd buy that facility and retool it to rebuild and restore most if not all of that history the F-40ph should be a national treasure and marked a endangered species like the bald eagle!...that locomotive was as beautiful as she was essential to American railroad history!...her along with her E-series cousins and F-45 brethren!...I'd partner with MCU and repower those chop noses, high hoods, MP's,SW's, Geeps and SD's back to glory with changing their appearances...Alco's too if they haven't butchered them all!
To me it sends me that's all those locomotives are being torn apart and scrapped just for money just by the companies that make profit out of torn up locomotives where they can be saved rebuilt as much as they can to send to museums railroad museums that history is being destroyed one by one why I don't know you can see it for yourself they're still good they're still good to use if they rebuilt the motors make them almost brand new if you're listening to this if you're looking at this please with everyone out there save the locomotives if they're still good out there you see try to catch one of them and send it to the museums where they can be saved help us save them 😢😢😢 !!!!!
This is So disappointing that these are likely to never run again
