McNeil has change so much since then... the siding got longer, the old Mopac signals are gone, the mechanical bells on the crossings are gone so much has changed... but great video! didn’t know 6936 could fit around the curve in Austin
Sounds so weird hearing two PMs pass on one unit. So wish I could see one of these, I'll have to find a way over to Sylvis some day to see this big lad.
Do you have a way of finding trains? Because I’ve hunted McNeil for about 7 years and I’ve never seen a commemorative locomotive. So I was just wondering
No, it's a prime 920 with S heads. Look at photos of the thicker manifold and bells. Primes are heavier knock-off castings of leslie parts that work interchangeably.
My goodness that horn sound great!
It is an extremely ultra epic rare.
Awesome 😎 to the fullest

The Austin station? I railfan there frequently and I get nervous some of those autoracks are going to derail on that rather sharp 90 degree curve.

1:03 SO THAT’S WHERE THAT TRAINZ HORNSOUND CAME FROM!!!!!!
I just realized that too lmao
What engine? And is it t:ane?
@@TrainsandFTFEnjoyer Yes it’s T:ANE. It’s the Jointed Rail Conrail GP38-2. The freeware one.
Huh?? Also why did you spell it trainz and not trains
@@midwestsirens Because that’s how it’s spelled (the game I mean).
Do DDA40Xs have AC or DC traction motors?
Does anyone notice the closer it gets the loudest note switches to the quietest. That’s probably why the keep confusing it for a rs3l
1:03 JointedRail S3L horn origin?
Yes, it's 😅😅
Somehow shows up on my recommend videos today...

They just pop up on you unless someone gives you a tip.
Sounds sorta like a P3
It's a Leslie RS3L
@@MidwesternRailfan Prime 920 Actually
3 words to describe the DD40AX’s: A bit excessive
It's a RS3L, not a Prime 920.

Razzy Moosechuck I guess it is a Prime 920. No RS chambers though.
@@coasternamegenerator5611 right, I had to look at another picture and just noticed they lack the spikes.
no helpers needed.
