    I'm sure the new sounds turned out great but honestly, I the video it's self was really interesting. A lot of different perspectives you don't usually get to see in cab ride videos. Pretty enjoyable

    It's actually not an OC&T paint scheme. The one pilot paint was changed by th OC&T, but the actual paint scheme was done when it was at Trillium. First day we ran it Dingman was on board. We were doing 50mph between St. Thomas & Tillsonburg on the welded rail. The paint actually wasn't black, it was green, it was painted from CN to this, a bit by myself, but the majority by Mike McIlwaine. Lots more oil on the block than when we had it. She breathes fire at night when under load too. Had a good 4ft flame out of her many times. A cold start will smoke out the neighborhood. An overnight idle and she'll spew oil and sparks everywhere. Good to see DIngman at the throttle...

    3:30 Did anyone else notice the stamped "max speed 75 mph"? I read that the top speed on M420's is 67 mph w/ standard gearing... does anyone know if Alco offered higher gearing options, or if the M420's can do 75 unofficially? I know EMD's standard 62:15 gearing back then was 65 mph official, but some RR's allowed 70-71... others ordered higher gearing options! 🤓
    Also, that old-school Alco chug is something else! I'd consider flying in from California just to hear it 😂
