For the record, I'm your biggest fan. Thanks for everything, from driving to buying Arizona gummies for us to throw at 743. Twas a heck of a summer, let's make sure to continue to make plans 🤎
You’re sadly mistaken my friend, I ain’t wasting those Arizonas, those are the good ones. Now that cereal on the other hand, that can be part of #2 granite for all I care. It was a heck of a summer, when I actually managed to go anywhere, glad we were able to make the most of it brother.👊🏼
5 trains in just under 2 hours is productive in my books, let alone the double MAC 441 that would make the outing instantly worth it. Great video as always.
It was certainly worth it, though none of what happened after 441 was expected in any way. So, it deserved a video of its own. Thanks for watching Richy👊🏼
Great video, love the content. For M441 and the EMD Duo those locomotives are designated by CSX as SD70AC's also called SD70MACe's. The SD70MAC's are the pre rebuild units while SD70AC's are post rebuild.
Thank you. The CSX rebuilds are often referred to as either 70AC’s, or 70MAC’s, simply because they’re the ‘AC’ versions of the 70M’s. The SD70MACe was a designation only used by BNSF for their rebuilds, not by CSX.
Just making sure that you know the SD70AC rebuilds are rebuild from already AC traction SD70MAC's. From your wording it sounds like you might think they are rebuilt from the DC Traction SD70M's what where retired by CSX in 2018 and sold to PRLX. While CSX kept there non-flared and flared SD70MAC's for rebuild in the future.
Yeah, no, I simply meant that the 70MAC’s are the ‘AC’ traction version of the SD70M’s, as people will sometimes ask the difference between those two designations. Note how I said that the rebuild program “takes in the majority of CSX’s SD70MAC’s and gives them new parts and electronics”.
I hired on when YN2 was the norm. Then YN3, to me perfect C & O. YN3 looked like the Employee responsible couldn't think, so he let is five year old write it up, it sucked and Corporate bought it. Now back to my C & O again praise GOD! And correct the Heritage unit debacle, split image, come on! CSX has blown away the competition on # of H. units and isn't done yet.
Great video as always Kota. That trailing MAC 4525 made a few appearances all the way up here in Minnesota on the CP back in 2020. I caught it leading a sand train once which was pretty special considering that’s a pretty rare thing to see all the way up here especially leading. As the 4 class ones that operate up here are BNSF, CP, UP, and CN.
Thank You! I believe I actually remember seeing some photos on Facebook of those trains…I’m sure 4525 was somewhere amongst a few. I’m not familiar with the routes they take after they’re interchanged, but I’d imagine y’all could see plenty of CSX power with the phosphate trains we send up that way, such as the B207 we saw.
Video length was just right. Stay safe out there - a retired railroader.
Well, that’s always good to hear. We will certainly try, though I’d argue the heat is nearly the most dangerous part…haha!
You are my favorite youtube
I appreciate that. Thank you for the kind words.
@@kotabeaner I wish csx have a sd70ace
@@Gunnartucker9they used to but sold them off in 2017 because they had a ton of issues.
@@railfanlynx oh ok thanks
Nobody noticed at 7:45 he said "im just a island boy trying to make it" 🤣
I did, that’s why I put it in the video…😉

Really good video. With all of the action you caught, 25 minutes went by fast, so don't sweat it. Keep up the great work 😊

Glad you found some time outside of working to get out there
Nice! an SD70MAC and a SD70AC
Video was great, You made it more enjoyable with explanation for the novice like me.
Most excellent, Dakota. Thank you.
Most appreciated, Mike. Thank you.😉

Medium Approach Medium. No such thing as a Medium Approach Limited.
Thank You for the clarification. I simply associated the Approach Limited aspect with the “medium” category beneath the red.
i want to marry you dakota
Perfect. We’re building a gazebo in Willow for those, so come on down….
