@o00o00ozy If those are former Conrail SW8Ms, it's because they have 645 power assemblies on 567 blocks. It's a very common upgrade when rebuilding 567 blocks. The "E" power assemblies are more reliable and more efficient than the old A through D types. They also change the sound around a bit. Other common "567E" blocks are Canadian National's GP9RMs and BNSFs few remaining SD9s/SD10s.
SHIT! I just found this video of yours. I love seeing old switchers like the two SW's working here. I grew up in Vancouver BC with the short line BC "Hydro" Railway. They had a fleet of 13 old yellow SW9's and three MP15's. This video reminds me of them. Great filming as always, thanks.
@TheRush341 I don't know if R&N upgraded to narrowband in 2011, but it they did, it would require 160.7700. Otherwise, 160.770 is the normal frequency; however, if they changed to narrowband, you need to buy a scanner capable of receiving narrowband frequencies.
SW8's have EMD 567B engines. I'm not sure why, but the 803 and 802 sound an awful like 645's. But R&N designates them as having 800 horsepower, so they must be the 567's.
At 6:25 -- I need that as my ringtone. LOL. Those are 645's right? Outstanding video Eric. Great locations and angles and everything. That's a really great railroad there. 10/5 Kyle
I like this railroad. They have a good fleet. Plus I saw of there open hoppers in Harisburg, PA.
The sound quality on this one is impressive.

Wow ! Very nice vid! Perfect sound of the perfect sounding Locos.

love how they didnt connect to those hoppers the first time!
802 )& 803 are beautiful !!!

I saw 803 on July 7th this year parked at Laurel at the station

What kind of camera are you using man? I like it, and i'm in the market for a new camera.
@o00o00ozy
But to be honest, I think 160.770 will work fine even if they swapped to narrowband. I really don't know.
Excellent work!
@o00o00ozy It's possible to repower a 567 with 645 power assembles, and that will make them sound like 645's.
Great Job as usual Eric!
@o00o00ozy Is it just 160.770 because there isnt enough room to put the last 0.
Awesome video.
If you were using a scanner for this run do you know what the freguency is for R&N?
crystal clear video !
Canon HG20.
Wicked shots!
the first train would've been better if 5022 was at the front
What's this noise at 1:25?
Spitter Valve
Nice!
Awesome video! 5/5
@o00o00ozy Alright, thank you!
