    Just as the other viewers have noted, I'll say the same: Bravo, outstanding dedication getting out there in those conditions, to make videos we can safely watch in the comfort of our warm homes. I appreciate what you've done here!

      I appreciate the kind words on this video! I made it home alright, but after shooting the last scene I called it quits. It was nearly a whiteout.

      We just got a bunch of GP60M units for the locals around my parts. They are phasing out the GP38 series and I believe 39s as well but you can't beat the old 38-2s. They pull the grade out of town with ease with a GP60B in the middle running 3 60s up the grade has shown too much HP on wet rails and they have powered out many times, backing thru town and taking a notch 8 run at it some night. Lol. Just not used to hearing Road K3LAs blasting tbrubtown so used to the old Air Chime on the 38s.

    Another great video - thanks SD457500. Hey you may already be onto it but wanted to give you a heads up that a Progress Rail/Caterpillar demo paint job SD70 is in our general area. (Is there just the one yellow, white, and black SD70?) It passed my house going east last Saturday with a CP freight consist, and then I saw it again last night on my way home from work just before I got home, heading back upriver (westbound). It was tail end Charlie and facing backwards, so maybe it will head back my way. I guess right now it could be anywhere in Minnesota or even the Dakotas or Canada, but wanted to give you heads up at least. So when it went by my house the first time on Saturday I had my camera ready by the door to the deck as always and even had my UHF scanner on, but I was vacuuming and didn't hear anything until I looked up and saw it go by through the window. I was so appreciative to see it but so angry that I decided to vacuum at that time of all times. Grrrr! Hope I get another shot at it!!

      OK a quick correction - I think it was not the original demo engine - it was one of their lease fleet locomotives. Just did some homework and I didn't realize they produced a small fleet of lease locos similar to, but with a little different paint job than the demo.

    • @SD457500
      @SD457500  3 года назад

      I appreciate the kind words on the video, and the heads up on the SD70ACe-T4 demo units. They are on lease to CP, and rumor is that they are testing them to see how they perform.
