    Whoa! lol 😂 Looks like a bone yard, they probably save them for parts and stuff, to keep the better ones running. Pretty cool to see so many together like that though.

      Yeah that’s why I filmed it the trains technically aren’t abandoned just retired but it was cool seeing them before their stripped for parts that will be used on newer models

    Somehow I don’t think that these locomotives are ever going to run again. They are likely so far gone that scrapping is a forgone conclusion.

      Actually looks like a rebuild yard, probably NRE. If this was a scrap operation they would be gone already, doesn't take long to actually cut up a loco. NRE is well known for simply stock piling locomotives and leaving them like this until they have a rebuild for them, or if that location is closed they do scrap them.

    #1 - Those are NOT TRAINS, they are locomotives. #2 if you were so concerned you would learn more about these machines. #3, if it was so impressive, why don't you close cabinets and doors and protect what is left. You seem to feel it is a shame they are abandoned to just rot. Do your part to protect them from future damage.

    • @GreatNW
      @GreatNW 2 дня назад +6

      Dude, your taking it a bit far. I enjoy railroad preservation and have always liked trains. But closing the battery box and engine bay doors is not going to make a huge difference in the condition of these locomotives. Also many of the locos I spotted here have many running examples. And don't make fun of the guy for calling them trains, I guarantee at some point in your life that's what you called these. Not everyone that finds "trains" neat is a ultra level railfan.

      @@GreatNW Hi, Read your reply and rebuttal. Closing battery boxes will not undo the damage that has occurred. That is fact. But it will minimize more damage by weather, so will closing cab windows, doors and access door to the engines. If you have time to walk through them you can take the moment to close things up as you go along. Who knows who owns these engines. Who knows why they are there but some of them are likely operational and some preservation group might just like to negotiate for one or more of them. It is obvious that this fellow knows little about these engines. He can not identify the difference in engines, generators, and compressors. He doesn't have a glimmer about what the controls are and what they do. He doesn't know what a brake stand is. Regardless, he is awed by what he sees. He feels the tragedy of what that place represents and he could help by closing doors for far more than battery boxes. Apparently you missed the meaning of my comment.
