8:50, 1033!!!! 🤩 Newly refurbished from mpi. I missed that unit while it was out for rebuild. Long time, almost three years it was out there. 😮 I kept saying “when is 1033 coming back” and now, it’s finally back. Very excited. 😊
Believe it or not but 1117 is south now. Already in July videos, we’re moving pretty good. Only 4 months behind, ain’t bad. Big milestone that we’re already in videos from July.
Just saw the good old 1139 this afternoon. He’s still running good and kicking out there on the rails. He’s 50+ years old and tired, worn out and ready for retirement, poor old guy. 😢 10 minutes later, I saw the recently rebuilt 1138, the brother unit to 1139. I was so happy to see them both on the same day, guess I lucked out. Wasn’t expecting that to happen. I didn’t even think of saying to myself that I wanted to see the gp40mc brothers. 😂
I believe the number board had fallen out, so they just came up with a homemade remedy to keep dirt and gunk out of the numberboard housing before they could get a new one 😂
I’d compare 1075 to a lawnmower because it sounds very similar to it when the prime mover revs up. Experience from riding behind it a year ago on the fitchburg line.
Happy Thanksgiving
Sorry about the late reply! Hope you had a good one
It's ok Thank you and you are very welcome
Sweet man

Yep, slowly but surely! Last I checked, 1117 was north with cab 1800
1138/1700 as well
1139 lights look so ridiculous one regular one led I always enjoy watching your videos
Yes for sure! Thanks very much
U are very welcome

Why no horns being used
15:18, What’s up with 1115’s right number board? Why is covered with tape and cardboard?

Three bilevel coaches on a set is very rare on the north side. Why did they do this? Also, nice catch with the veteran 1811 leading. Fun times. 😊
Great question - this was an odd time where both the 1708 and 1716 sets had that same consist and I’m not sure why. Glad you enjoyed it

You tend to forget 1051 1056 and 1062 used to sound the same way before they went to wabtec for rebuild
Oooook who the snot put googly eyes on 1035? 😂
17:42 Me
Also, i thought you were taking selfies with 1117
Also, i am with the phone
Oh, very nice. And I can assure you, I was just taking videos of it!
I have seen you multiple times at Hamilton lol
