    A blast from the past..A average PRR passenger train from the 60s minus the observation..Those E8/E9s was beautiful locomotives.Thanks for sharing.

    It is comforting to know that there are countries committed to its railway history that enable these formations run with all the splendor of bygone years. Thanks for sharing

    As a UK railfan I consider the E8 an iconic classic diesel loco. I am glad some units have been preserved in working order.

    If someone asked me if there was a locomotive I would want this would be it! So beautiful! The PRR has a very elegant colors that makes it stand out. Very classy but a modern executive feel to it. Even next to the NS it doesn't look like it has aged a bit. I've always have a spot in my heart for the E7's. Love the ditch lights that they added to it like icing on a cake. A touch of modernization to a old legend and a testament of the E7's. I wish I can see it in person.

      JOHNRAIL& RACEFAN88 Thanks for the video. I was privileged to ride on an 18-car special from DC to Philly and back pulled by Mr. Levin's magnificent E-8's. The special train transported ambulatory military personnel from Walter Reed Army Hospital and Bethesda Naval Hospital. They were transported, fed and treated to the annual Army-Navy football game at Lincoln Financial Center Stadium in 2010.
      Hats off to Bennett Levin and all of the AAPRCO members who contributed their cars.

    Read in Trains Magazine way back, that Amtrak liked the Es and approached EMD about building more of them. But, the carbody blueprint had been thrown away, so producing more Es was prohibitively expensive.

      You know how sometimes when you flip a light switch, there may be a delay before the light turns on. This may possibly be the case here. The circuit or the bulbs may need to be looked at.

    I'm glad NS is always open to letting whatever kind of train run on their tracks, assuming they have all the right equipment & everything. News flash CSX, its called public relations, oh wait, they have the worst service in the railroad industry, so I guess that's out of the question.

    Set-ups are nice AWAY from grade crossings. The horns get very annoying after awhile and they ALWAYS distort. Nice quality video! Very professional. Set ups down wind of the crossing a ways loose much if not all distortion. I do digital sound recording and the grade crossings off in the distance are much more appealing letting the sounds of the locos dominate when at source of recording. These are just my thots from years of doing this and are in no way meant to demean you wonderful videos.
