Those locomotives are built by EMD (Progress Rail), Those particular models are called GT42AC. They were built for Bangladesh Railway. They are being exported to Bangladesh.
It's cool how the locomotives are placed on flatcars that hav quad axles! Normally just the standard double or pair axles will do for most flatcar loads. These cars had two quad axles sets one at each end of the car. 8 axles per car, even more than the locmotives themselves!
While heading to Salem, Va. I came upon a NS locomotive waiting for clearance to proceed in Elliston, Va. It was pulling 7 brand new locomotives destined for the UAE.
It’s quite possible they’re on Flat Cars because the Flat Car would be Rolled onto a Ship with Rails up in Canada and could be going Anywhere Around the World. 🌎
Buffers and knuckle couplers on the same unit indicate somewhere on the Indian subcontinenet. One of Australia's systems had this set-up for a while... not sure if they do anymore.
They haul those locomotives to keep from putting any miles on them before they get to where they’re going to, and that way it don’t take away from their warranty on the locomotives, but their standard gauge locomotives, but that’s what a railroad friend of mine that works for the railroad told me That’s the reason why they haul them
@timmyfrierson2684 Sorry about that, but you and "railroad friend" you put in front of you to shield you are liars. These locomotives are BR BP-32, they run on broad gauge, which is 1676 mm, and need therefore to be tranported until they are in Bangladesh or India. That’s the reason why they haul them
Suffice to say these are Progress Rail export locomotives coming from Muncie and going to an east coast port for waterborne transport. And now, some irony. I have a copy of the ConRail Final System Plan from 1975, a line by line description and expected outcome. In it the former Erie was all but acquired by the N&W from Marion west as an outlet for the original N&W from Columbus. Obviously that didn’t happen. So imagine a parallel universe where those export locomotives as well as much of the freight you saw coming east on the former Erie and turning south.
Very interesting , Triple Traction Motor sets Fore and Aft on all 5 . Very Short and on Narrower gage wheel sets . Almost guaranteed to be EXPORT product .
Wow some of those straps on those tie downs over trainers didn't look very tight, would they ever stop to check?? Like a truck 🚚 driver would do? Awesome 👌 freight train 🚆 video 📹
Although it has been commented that these particular locos are bound for Bangladesh. There are numerous countries where narrow gauge is the standard such as Japan, New Zealand, Much of Australia ,Thailand ,Vietnam , Malaysia and South Africa. Plus many places in Europe also use narrow gauge for certain short lines
@@marengtech313 yes, youre correct on that one, i had no idea what color TV was until the 1960s, i just turned 74, and its a whole different world out there now.
I love Marion Ohio for railfans. Always something to see & film! Loved the first intermodel. The light you had when filming was beautiful. Great selection of trains that day Ty! ❤😊👍
Here's the scoop... They're built by Progress Rail in Muncie and usually (not always) shipped to the Port of Morehead City here in NC for export. NS will bring down several of these a month from New Bern NC on NS train P90 or P97. The last outbound shipment left the Port about two weeks ago, headed to Mongolia. The PRSX reporting mark is a dead giveaway.
What date was this filmed? Realistically the loco's are GE or EMD, They're definitely narrow gauge and they may be going to Africa. Probably GEs since EMD would ship directly to Charleston,
I think they're US locomotives they have a US coupler. The rails sitting on flat cars seem to be in line with the rails below the train so I think they're US locomotives.
That is not a US-Coupler, it is some crap for rcpotrt locos. In addition, US railways do not use buffers. The Number of the locos is BP-32, made by PR for Bangladeshi Railways.
India and Bangladesh are transitioning - slowly - to the USA coupler system. Looking closely under the coupler, one can see a dangling link for the older link-and-pin system; the two bumpers (buffers) are easier to see. All new engines on the Indian subcontinent have this either/or coupler arrangement. Concerning gauge, at 18:17 the near shipping rail appears to be directly above the outer cap of the bearings of the flatcar wheels.
This was an interesting read on the Bangladesh Railway. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Locomotives_of_Bangladesh

17:40 Thank you for telling us the thing we came for.
BANGLADESH RR IS 5’ 6” GUAGE WITH AN 1000 MM NARROW GUAGE.
@@rossbryan6102 India still uses 5' 6" gauge, and has begun to phase out its meter gauge lines.
How do you know that? No markings whatsoever! How do you know?
That's GT42AC made by EMD/Progress rail. Judging by the paint scheme, they're heading towards Bangladesh.

Yeah, probably heavy duty flatties to help spread the weight along the tracks.

10:57 This is the most manifest train ever- almost every kind of car ever and never more than a few of a kind in a row
@@SwC3ATN I love the mixed manifest trains the more variety the better.
The reason they are flatcars is because they are Non-standard gage, GE's and are set and blocked for ship loading.
1,676 mm (5 ft 6 in) broad gauge locomotives

I enjoy watching your videos from Linton Indiana!!!
@@raybonhomme404 thank you Ray for watching
That's a nice catch.
They're GE 's probably going to Canada. If you look closely at the plastic covering, you can make out the hammerhead shape that are only on a GE.
actually a EMD
@@voidjavelin23 you can clear the outline of the hammerhead rear

3) broad-gauge, 1,676 mm gauge

Progressive Rail in Muncie, IN. My town.
@@beverlymichael5830 I’m going to try and get back down to Muncie next week and film any good spots I should check out?
They’re tier Zero compliant

@@trevorcooke8129 actually I believe they do every 100 miles or so and if they do have any loose straps the defect detector will catch it.
@@therailroadtiespiker thanks for that appreciate 🙏
Buffers and knuckle couplers... Did Australia order some new power?
That or india did
Bangladesh
This NS 054 heading to Port of Norfolk, VA it came from Muncie, IN via Fort Wayne and Bellevue on the Fostoria District
I live in Muncie IN and yes Progressive Rail is a big employer.

These Locos arent narrow, they are broad gauge AKA 1676 mm.
Go figure.

+1 on them headed to Asia. At first I thought they were for VLI or MRS in Brazil but the paint scheme doesn’t match. Nice footage.

Yes, these locomotive types are GE - Alco derivative types and they ARE standard gauge.
