I can't be the only one to get goosebumps when that SD-40 turned over, such a great sound.

[@dejohdenny2870]

Well explained and to the point. Thanks, will watch for more.

Por favor, no olvide seguir con éstos vídeos, enseñan mucho y he aprehendido a manejar éstas locomotoras. Gracias

[@JP-dj2ro]

Thank you so much for these videos. Can you maybe also have a video on how to make a realistic manifest train for people thats not from America. Thank you.

[@tuberoyful]

Perfect knowledge!

[@CaptainRon542]

thank you

How do you set up locomotives for multiple unit control

[@CaptainRon542]

how do you change the MFD screen in the ES44DC and SD70 ACE

[@aidohughes]

I noticed gauge is spelled incorrectly on the “GUAGE LTS” switch on the ACE.😊 Great videos anyway. Thanks.

Run8 should have the starting stand on the SD40-2 and battery knife.

I know that this is a sim, but in the real world I was told that it's not a good idea to rev a cold engine. Is this true?

[@glaze_tpf9791]

max rpm is usually around 900-1000 on these engines, that's lower then what your car idiles at

[@TrainScott]

Is this method done with multiple units attached?

[@TheDepotServer]

Yes it can be done with multiple units attached.

CSX never used SD40s realistically. CSX used SD45-2s, SD40-2s, SD40-3s, SD50s, SD60s, and various SD70s and SD80MACs.
