The long-overdue second installment of the Snowy Switching series finds us in a snowstorm in St. Albans, Vermont. The New England Central Railroad rosters a true Cadillac to switch their Italy yard, EMD SD-9 no. 1750. A fleeting vestige of a yard once full of the sounds of GP-9s and SW1200s, the SD-9 handles long cuts of cars with relative ease despite the conditions and puts on quite the show in the process. Most of the action occurs at the Elm Street crossing, with views of both the throat of the yard and the locomotive servicing facilities adjacent to the former Central Vermont Railway roundhouse. A matching pair of Canadian National GEVO locomotives bring their tri-weekly train M324 south out of Montreal, as seen at Jewett Ave just north of the yard, and again back at Elm Street as the snow intensifies. Former SP SD40T-2 no 3317 greets the Canadian guests as shop crews move the veteran locomotive around the service tracks. We conclude our day with a passing black cat along County Rd in Swanton, just before the now-reorganized M323 slows to a stop to pick up its conductor, and charges north.
I hope you enjoy this long-overdue project. I took a lot of footage in 2022, but life changes hampered my creativity and motivation to edit. Stay tuned for more to come, hopefully in a new style!
Awesome video Brett
I grew up with CNR GP9s servicing our town (and an SW1200RS pair coming over to pick up and drop off traffic from the next town over). Seeing this makes me smile, as i've never seen an SD9 live - only in videos. It's almost like a part of my mind expects these to sound different to GP9s, or, i dunno. There's just something about a 567 and Roots blower that just sounds right, and an SD just makes it better.
It's a classic sound that just gets better as they become less and less common!
Great video. I subscribed to your channel as well!
@@kitchener2200 thank you!!
I live not far from this crossing. I enjoy watching 1750 as well. Great video Brett long time no see.
Thank you! It'll be a little while before the next video comes out, but I have plenty of good content on the way!
