nice the ace almost looked brand new but how shiny and i think i seen it coming past milner liked how the ace was pushing hard and the one front engine when i went by was chillin
I almost had to close my eyes watching that. Far safer to have to stood up on the steps. To quote the friend of mine standing next to me there: "you're about to get this guy on video being run over by a damn train!"
That signal is only a switch indicator and doesn't deal with block occupancy. Green: switch is lined for the main. Red: switch is lined for the siding. Only changes when the switch is thrown.
Must have been a heavy local for a SD40 and GP38 to stall lol. And all the conductor had to do was ride on the steps while holding the handle up to uncouple, that was dangerous.
The second unit failed around Barnesville and the train almost immediately stalled out. In comes the northbound roadrailer behind to the rescue. Thanks to the demise of the roadrailers, these scenes will NEVER be repeated again.
The second engine on the slop freight in the lead had failed, stalling out the train, necessitating this oddball move. And that M-2 on the roadrailer was barely even in notch 1-2 the whole way to give the extra nudge needed. Sadly, that dead trailing GP38, the 70M-2 AND the roadrailer are all now history.
What an awesome catch! You don't see something like that every day!
One word: Awesome
Excellent video! That pusher didn't sound like it was pushing anything though, just idling by.
This is awesome, sweet combined train. Lead engine on road trailer working mid train when hooked together, great action!
Great catch. I wouldn't have believed it.
Great, once in a lifetime, catch! Quite cool!
Being from Georgia, it was nice to watch.
Great video !!!!!!!!!!!!
Two trains in one. 🚂🚂👍
Wow, great catch.
Great video.
I actually had to do this in Trainz 2006 recently.
I spy a Conrail logo at 1:22
Great Catch!

SD70M-2, not an ACe
That was dangerous as hell when the cndr split the trains. pushing inward while walking backwards yelling "stop!".
+kro0014 Exactly! As one other person posted, I was thinking one slip and this guy is done. We were all shaking our heads watching that one play out.

I don't see the danger in the situation. He wasn't in the gauge, so if the engineer didn't hear him he can just back up.
wow youre a bright one, smh
Your always supposed to have your head on a swivel that kinda weight is no joke
Someone was in the extra loco why ??
To Devin Smith:
Thats actually a sd70m-2
I'm wondering why that signal didn't drop to Red as the roadrailer loco passed it. It seemed to continue to be green at the end of the train as well.

Dang dude I know Just another day on the job.
WOWZERS!!! THAT'S AMAZING! FANTASTIC CATCH! I Subbed!
The roadrailer was ideal for this because the trailers are like nothing for a train to pull.

Second car was a patched Milwaukee road hopper.
