- After 20 long years, F7A 819 has joined the land of the living following an arduous restoration process at TCRM. This is the first time she’s run a train since she left the P&C docks in 2000/2001.

Very nice video Conductor Whipp. The loco consist will really be a sight to behold when the day comes that we can get another F7A unit in matching paint.

I’m looking forward to it!
Awesome, this will look great behind 576!
Awesome! Man, it'd be wild to see that make an excursion up to Louisville for the Derby! I used to ride behind L&N #152 a lot back in the 90's when it pulled the matching blue L&N coaches for that locomotive. :)
That looks like a fabulous restoration and something to be proud of. What a beautiful train!! Too bad those two N&E units weren't at the end of the train like DPU's but that's still a good looking train...
That K5LA reminds of Amtrak!
Now that was a lashup i wasnt expecting. Great shots overall!
Thanks!
Excellent shots, very nice sound on the shot from the overhead bridge!
Thanks! And yeah it was pretty cool up there!
Awesome shots my friend! Was nice to meetup with ya!
Was good to see you as well man
Very nice!
Awesome video Jason!
Thanks!
It's crazy seeing the ex-BNSF locomotives now on shoreline survice. It feels like it was only a couple months ago seeing those GE's pulling heavy trains on the mains.
So great to see it back in action, must be even better for you! I just uploaded my phone recording of this in Donelson and gave you an appropriate shoutout.
Saw you at fesslers lane but you didn’t stop, meant to say hi today
I was wondering where you were and how I didn’t see ya
@@CSXfan4589 I tried to wave at you as you went down Fesslers but you were looking at the road. Don’t think I spotted you after that
Awesome video! Awesome locomotive! Awesome horn!!
Thanks! It sure was!
Wonderful! Absolutely beautiful video. What would have been perfect if they added the L&N GP-7 to make it look like a more presentable consist.
Those N&E units stick out like a sore thumb, but that's not your fault. Looking to seeing more from you!
They have another A unit on site , will it be restored to make an A B B A set and lettered L&N someday ??
That’s the plan
Is the pair of N&E GE B40-8ws equipped with head end power (HEP) systems?
No
@@jasonwhipp5721 thank you for the response.
Are the bnsf engines owned by the museum?
No they are not
And they ruined it by putting ditch lights on it. 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Lol. It’s legally required.
At least they kept the oscillating mars light and got it working, just like I remembered them back in the 1960's.
@@jasonwhipp5721 Looks like there'd be a Grandfather clause to exempt locomotives that weren't built with them...the same way you don't have to wear seatbelts in cars that weren't originally equipped with them. Or like how you don't see them on steam locomotives. Or how you don't have to add cyclops tail lights to cars made before 1984?5? Or even how you don't have to have two tail lights or turn signals on cars that came out with single tail lights (Though you still need to roll down the window and use hand signals for those). :)
@@Rebel9668 they were built after the age exemption, so they are now required to have them if running over 20MPH of public grade crossings
