Gravelydon, thank you so very much for answering my question. I am trying to learn all I can about railfanning and the duties of the engineer and the conductior
131 cars being pulled. Nice to let us see them long enough to count them. Nice video. hmmmm. I see a couple of others counted 129. Well darn, that means I am just going to have to watch the whole video again, aww shucks. ha ha love this video
You could make that argument for most things anymore honestly. Having spent almost 19 years working for UP (scary as that is to think about) I've seen a lot of changes over the years. Most of the changes are filed as safety improvements but in reality they aren't for the safety of the crews. It's simply to reduce crew/operational liabilities to the company. Hence why most of the ever changing rules we have to follow do little if anything to actually improve system wide performance. But rather just to micromanage you to death in an attempt to reduce crew liabilities to the company all the while stressing you more and more knowing you have to somehow work faster and safer yet with less and less freedom to do so because you have endless rule book traps trying to limit what you can and can't do. It makes my head hurt just thinking about it. Doubly so since we live in a day and age in the industry where you have to adapt to endless rule changes, yet any infraction is almost a guaranteed termination. I saw the writing on the wall long ago when DPU's were becoming more and more common. The industry is trying to get rid of us in every way that they can. Hence why we are being trained to be more robots then humans in this industry. There's a reason so few new people to the industry last for long. Most can't take it. Can't say I blame them.
Geez the one gentlemens comment on here which stated that these engines are very powerful & he wasn't kidding that's for sure wow!! That engineer had those engines & loaded freight cars up to speed & then some!
What the hell ? ? ? All that luggage and shit they haul on and off an engine, you'd think they were going on a 30 day trip instead of an 8 hour shift....... Damn !!!!
Well these guys run 12 hour shifts and sometimes aren't home for days at a time, most of the time they are staying in hotels and moving from terminal to terminal.
There are multiple units but likely only two in actual use. The rest are just along for the ride transferring them to where they’re needed or for repairs. I used to select dynamic brake for those unused locomotives for the extra braking action unless they were tagged out of service.. BNSF engineer (retired)
They really weren't a failure. They were simply too powerful for the railroads needs which is why newer versions were never built. When i worked for CSX i ran the AC6000's all the time. Never had any issues. CSX ran them for a long time until they were worn out.
I am from Cumberland, I seen many a train heading out thru narrows with 6 or 7 units. I live in Florida now, a train here has maybe 2 units, never seen one with 3 units.
from what i understand, the bolts mean ac powered, and the double bolts were only put on the ac6000's with their unique paint scheme. but i could be wrong.
just a few questions 1. are AC6000CW's are around 2.why do crew changes 3.is that a conrail locomotive painted in a csx YN3 Paint scheme? Just a few comments the guy who putted his bag on the train thats my dad the black pants guy is my uncle my dad letted me ride in the cab on my 10th birthday, now im 21 years old. now i am becoming a csx engineer my birthday is on 3/12/03 Its sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo nice to come and let this video push me down memory lane
wow, Im glad i came across this video. assuming all the power was running (it looks like some were not by the exaust caps) it would add up to 44,200 horsepower (6000 x6 + 4400 + 3800(sd60)) even without the 3 6000's its still an insane 26,200
this question is for anyone who knows about railroad work, when more than one unit is attached are there crew members on each of the units or just the lead unit?

Nice to see the EMD ex con in the lead!!! That was some serious power!!
Nice video. Great old station and what a great place to watch trains.
Thanks always!
Gravelydon, thank you so very much for answering my question. I am trying to learn all I can about railfanning and the duties of the engineer and the conductior
Wow 13 years ago! Time sure flies. Great old video. I miss the old 6000s.
Same here!
That's one beautiful station building.
Thanks always!
its a power move folks. they use 400 to send power from the south to Cumberland for PM and repairs.
Nice catch on the crew change plus nice old station backdrop, thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks for watching & commenting!
Nice! Look at the amount of pulling power the put on this train.They even have AC6000's!
👍
Wow that's an incredible amount of power on that manifest, excellent video👍🏼
Yes! Thank you!
8 locs and a super long train. Fantastic !!!
And 129 cars!
As a little kid i used to love watching trains! Id say hi but the loud horn from the locomotive trains scared me away😭😭
Look at that lashup wow i miss those days thanks for sharing buddy😎😎
Thanks always for watching & commenting!!
@@BaltimoreAndOhioRR your very welcome I really enjoy your videos hope you have a great Sunday!!☺☺☺
A sight that can no longer be seen now that CSX got rid of their AC6000CWs
And their 60 Series EMD's have bit the dust too along with the AC60's, sadly. Railfanning CSX has never the same since..
@Rusty Shackleford Unfortunately unlikely as all units have been repowered thanks to the 6000hp engine not doing its job right.
Same with the SD60M & The Dash 8
PSR Is A Parasite
Absolutely wonderful video very colourful train's and video thumbs t :-) :-)
Thanks always! 💚
Este cambio de tripulación ya augura un precioso video.
Whoa! Acid trip at 7:00
Great video, nicepresentation🙏 thank you dear friend
Thanks always! 😄
Went to the archives for this, well worth it.
+shnimmuc thx! I've got lots of archives 😉
131 cars being pulled. Nice to let us see them long enough to count them. Nice video. hmmmm. I see a couple of others counted 129. Well darn, that means I am just going to have to watch the whole video again, aww shucks. ha ha love this video
Thanks always! 🤗
Nice catch on the SD60M and those AC6000's :D
Thanks always!😃
Fantastic filming, great work 🙏
Have a happy day 🌷
I miss the old days when 8 banger consists were common fare & we used to change crews on the fly.

An ex-Conrail SD70 and 6 AC6000s? Holy heck, that's a cool consist!
StarTard8 SD60M and the first AC60 was powered. The rest after the Dash 8 had their exhaust covered.
Will Hilliard how could you tell they were covered
There's a white covering on the exhaust on the remaining engines.
Omg, the olden days was really better!
8 engines and 128 trailers it's beautiful
An Excellent sharing , keep it up im always there to support you ,please stay connected !
Thanks and sure😊
Nice crew change! I'm hoping to catch a crew change someday in Nevada,Iowa on the Spine Line!!!

Classic AC6000s! They may have been a failure, but they sure won’t be forgotten!
I also really like the yellow CSX logo they have on the sides.
Same here, it's my fav csx logo!
They really weren't a failure. They were simply too powerful for the railroads needs which is why newer versions were never built. When i worked for CSX i ran the AC6000's all the time. Never had any issues. CSX ran them for a long time until they were worn out.
Classic location. It appears that the last 5 units were deadheading.
Great video!! For a long train with 8 engines...wow.
Ah, my old stomping grounds. Awesome video
Thanks always!😊
Those engines can pull! great video! thanks!
My g-father worked for b&I out of the tuscola railyard bk in the 70s
Neat!
Cool...haven't seen many SD60Ms on a train
Nice video and great catch of all 8 csx power on the freight train.
Mike Troina thx!
Your welcome.
Very cool Dave this was interesting keep it up and have a nice day
Thanks always!
Lots of horses here!
That's really nice and beautiful, good night!!
Thanks always!

Proper noises from the Dash 8 :)
Men this guy makes the best video

Used to ride helpers from Brunswick to Mt.Airy.
Just terrific my friend, liked, Happy Sunday :)ms
Thanks always! 😎
nice Big Locomotive Powerful
Great video edition. Thank you
Many thanks!
“So how many AC6000CWs do you want?”
The guy who assembled the train: *Y E S*
🤣👍
I would love to haul ass in one of those sd60m's! Love those marker lights oh did i mention that great emd sound :)
CSXT616, 652, 638, 697, 632 and 625 were all Sold to PRLX CSX only owns 600,601Spirit of Waycross and 602 Spirit of Maryland.
Awesome Catch!!
I saw NS 14R in PA in 2018, and It has CSX #604!
I like train videos on UA-cam 💥
Thanks always! 🙂
Very video!! I'm Vinicios Dutra train driver from Brazil!!!
So cool! Thanks always!
I am from Cumberland, I seen many a train heading out thru narrows with 6 or 7 units. I live in Florida now, a train here has maybe 2 units, never seen one with 3 units.
hey can anyone tell me what the lightening bolts stand for the singles and the double bolts?
from what i understand, the bolts mean ac powered, and the double bolts were only put on the ac6000's with their unique paint scheme. but i could be wrong.
Excellent video I gotta sometime film the crew change NS does under the Fahy bridge in Bethlehem
And for those of you in Rio Linda, that station w/the most appealing architecture is located @Point of Rocks, Md!!
👌😁
very good video
Thanks always! 😊
LOVE THOSE GEVO 16s!!
No GEVO’s in this video.
So nice friend ! A wonderful night to you !
Thanks always! You too!
Sharp looking string of CSX power leading this train
Thanks always!😄
CSX engineers take out the suitcases
Good lord, backpacks and coolers----JEEZ
+Glynn Roberts Not like the old days when crews only carried one small bag, a lunch box, and may have gotten on and off the train while it was moving.
Best from CSX in the hills of yes
Show !!! bela troca de equipagem ...
This cool video love it. That is very long train wow.
Thanks always! 😀
Those 60m's were cab control leaders for the ex RF&P
Amazing how each car weighs tons!
Wow! 6 AC6000CW's, Nice video!
Thanks always! ✌
excellent train movie ...
Thanks always!
That's a lotta walking to come back from cutting cars
With all that luggage, you'd think they were off on a three hour tour......
Nice catch. I caught that 697 leading L415 last year.
Nice crew change action
Thanks always! 🤩
just a few questions
1. are AC6000CW's are around
2.why do crew changes
3.is that a conrail locomotive painted in a csx YN3 Paint scheme?
Just a few comments
the guy who putted his bag on the train thats my dad
the black pants guy is my uncle
my dad letted me ride in the cab on my 10th birthday, now im 21 years old. now i am becoming a csx engineer
my birthday is on 3/12/03
Its sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo nice to come and let this video push me down memory lane
None of them are around anymore ☹
wow, Im glad i came across this video. assuming all the power was running (it looks like some were not by the exaust caps) it would add up to 44,200 horsepower (6000 x6 + 4400 + 3800(sd60)) even without the 3 6000's its still an insane 26,200
Yeah, obviously some were being transported, but that would be insane if all were running!
This... This is epic!!
Thanks always! ⭐
IF you look at least TWO of the C60AC's are NOT running only in tow, as the stacks are capped off!
That's a lot of units DIT.
AC6000's headed to storage.
Nice catch
Thanks always! 😊
tyvm for posting
Thanks always! 👍
Bro I love this UA-cam guy name Baltimore Ohio
Thanks always! ✌
Let’s count how many engines aren’t in the CSX roster anymore.... pretty much this whole train
Yes their taking their last trip.
no more coal no more jobs
What is the location where they highballed from?
Now 8784 is a Lancaster chester train.
como se calcula o esforço de tração num trem com tantas maquinas à frente? não há risco de quebra de engates?
The tanker car in the manifest at 6:23 contained the stuff that dreams are made of.
DetroitLove4U which is?
Polonium-210/2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin vitiated amalgam
@@DetroitLove4Uyou sure it says clay slurry or calcium carbonate only on the back
@@spenceradams2908 That is the supplement amalgam - in any event I recommend you add it to your morning cup of tea.
great video
Thanks always! 😊
Whoa 8 engines 😬😮
Bel video, saluti da Italia
WHAT YALL DO BRING THE WHOLE HOUSE WITH YALL.LOL
beautiful location
It really is!
that's a serious amount of weight listen to the rail's scream.
It's amazing that those little rails can hold all that weight?!?!!!!
this question is for anyone who knows about railroad work, when more than one unit is attached are there crew members on each of the units or just the lead unit?
just the lead.
thanks
There is times where crews are in the second unit as well
+trigga ville One person can control the train from the lead engine because the others are hooked up using MU cables.
