CP Rail RS-18 Party!

Let's give CP Rail the spotlight for a bit. This vid's quite longer than most of the train flicks I've posted, but then again, there were a lot of RS-18s around in the mid-nineties. I didn't think you'd mind.
As usual, I don't lay music over the trains, no talking heads and no spoken commentary. Some do that well, but I figure if I get started I won't know when to stop. Besides, the rhythm of those prime movers is musical enough.
All of these clips were shot in Smiths Falls, Ontario, sometime between 1995 and 1996.

Nothing beats the burbling and chugging of an MLW. Sounds almost as if they're breathing

Hello Rik, thank you for these ALCO RS-18 that are still in service. The 1849 is in Gaspesie (SFG-1849) and it is still working on the SUB-Cascapedia with other RS-18s that I recognize. jaberthelot

Spent many Saturdays in my teens watching these work in Smiths Falls and Wakley (pre-OCR). I love the distinctive idle chant of the 12-251B. Thanks for sharing!

Loved this video... Saw my first RS-18 in Newcastle NB in 96. Thanks for uploading, I think I'm going to watch this one again and again

I Love Partys!!

[@DieselElevators]

Can't go wrong with a dance floor of ALCOs!

Here is an interesting fact, Only the first 12 rebuilt RS-18u's received the Multimark logo. thats why you don't see it on most of the ones shown in this video

I liked when the rolling stock said "CP Rail". Canadian Pacific is too ordinary.

nice to see 1803 when it was in service in Canada
