I worked for the company that made all cabs, and everything in between for those JT42CWRs. There is an electrical box in the main cab, another in the small cab. We made over 950 of this model for railroads all over Europe. As for these 5 units, there is something I made on each of these units.
0:16 what type of crossing bell is that? I know it's a mechanical, but what type? Between 1:00 and 1:23, there are some mixed freight cars, which is odd! 3:24 wow! 167 cars! longest train I've seen filmed! It just has 3 locomotives, I have expecting three DPUs on the rear at two in the middle! 4:07 those are class 66 locomtives, and they are used in Great Britain, and other parts of Europe! Unlike Ge's Powerhaul class 70, these are shipped on their own wheels, not flat cars! 5:06 you can see the height differences between British and North American standards! I'd buy like four class 66s for use in America, working excursions with BR 60008 "Dwight D Eisenhower!" 7:19 looks kinda odd without an observation car! I'm still kinda used to seeing VIA Canada trains with observation cars!
I don't know about the bell at Frenchmans Road. Train 120 is the only freight train from US & central Canada to come to Halifax. It starts in Toronto and picks up and drops off blocks of cars at several locations including Montreal, Quebec City (Charny) and Moncton. Because it is the only freight from Moncton to Halifax it picks up general cargo that has come on lower priority trains in Moncton. There is also a daily freight from Moncton to Dartmouth. 3 locomotives and around 150 cars is quite common but now that some of the DPU communication problems in rocky area in Northern New Brunswick & Quebec seem to have been solved DPUs are much more common - 2 upfront and ne in middle. Rear DPUs are rare.
David Othen not a patch on class 37 or the 56 New class of trains are too quiet in my eyes although I do prefer the class 66 to the new 70s. Love your American loco design
+Kerro Guano No there were being exported to Britain but were built in Canada at a plant that has now closed and been relocated to the mid=western United States. The same engine block is used in many North American locomotives but because of our larger loading gauge it is housed in a larger carbody.
Cool Export units, and nice VIA Rail w the Dome Car

the Geep looks better than those exports..maybe just because I am used to EMD units
Wow! Nice catches
Actually they are class 66s. The horn signals are normal - I believe the rule is that they start the horn .25 mile from crossing.

Are those british locomotives going to be used here in Canada anytime soon?
