Totally did not expect to see an Alco RS-1 in the mix! 1:03 There was a nice looking SD40T-2 in there too.

[@herinol]

Yes! I was trying to find a video on this yard! Thank you!

[@TrainManBrodie]

You're welcome. Thank you for watching!

[@tom-and-mom]

TrainManBrodie, do you think NREX 3152 is a GP40 locomotive?

[@AK-gf9nt]

Great to finally see NRE-Mt. Vernon! Would like to see up closer and locos in between the buildings.

[@tom-and-mom]

@TrainManBrodie What locomotive is NREX 3152?

[@MikeG42]

Good video Trainman , yes ! Several locomotives now sadly relegated to being a source for spare parts and probably next stop the scrapyard. I would love to visit a place like this but I assume access is restricted so it probably won't happen. Looks like paradise to me with all these old locomotives.

[@tom-and-mom]

TrainManBrodie, NREX 3152 is an SD40-3, though it has four axles on it, right?

[@eliyahtherailfanner131]

GP40-3 I guess.

[@tom-and-mom]

@TrainManBrodie Is CSX 6595 a GP40?

[@DanielixMK]

Awesome video 👍 Thumbs Up! Greetings from Poland!

[@TrainManBrodie]

Thanks!

[@SouthernIllinoisRailfan]

[@TrainManBrodie]

Thank you, Logan!

[@harlanbassham6853]

This railyard could be great again! Very profitable too

[@tom-and-mom]

TrainManBrodie, what locomotive is NREX #3152?

[@atsf855sanbernardinocounty85]

Maybe that RS1 unit can as another ATSF RS1 with it's 1950s Santa Fe black & white zebra stripes paint that would awesome idea being send over southern california railway museum.

[@KDubielak]

Do you live somewhere in Kentucky

[@jamesburnside3023]

Great job

[@TrainManBrodie]

Thank you, James.

[@Slim_Slid]

Enjoy all that old iron while it lasts as it's rusting away.Because NREX will scrap most of it or rebuild much of it into Gensets.

[@thelnner6765]

had to get up to the fence right there to see it, but i recorded it on ground today

[@illinoiscentralrailroadfan6015]

So sad looks like my old hometowns shop's are officially dead.

[@p.damonsmith3412]

NRE Paducah was reopened to do running rebuilds and was set to pick up even more work with the Dixmoor and Silvis closures.

[@illinoiscentralrailroadfan6015]

That's dead compared to when the Illinois Central Railroad owned them or when it was vmv
