- How to Identify different American Freight locomotives. They may look similar, but I'll show you the visual differences how to tell them apart. GE vs EMD, ES44AC, SD70ACe, SD70M, SD40-2, GP38-2, MP15AC, Dash-9, AC4400CW, SD70ACU etc.

I like trains
Me too
Me three!

Me four!
Me fifth
This was really well done! Great editing ✔✔ Nice touch giving credit to the creators on screen, excellent job!
Hi!
@@VenityGT hello👋
@@BaltimoreAndOhioRRYou’ve got to be one of the friendliest railfans on this platform! Also, by any chance do you have any Galesburg videos or do you think you’ll make one in the future?
@@VenityGT Of course I'm not perfect, but I try to be helpful and friendly. We're all in this together, right?
No, I've never been to Galesburg, and not sure I'll get there in the near future.
Feels like I am back in high school chemistry class. 🤣
I gotta show this to my mom so she can finally understand what I’m talking about
She ain’t gonna do through it I Alr tried
Same lol
Every time I say a train model everyone thinks I’m a rocket scientist
Edit: My mom still doesn’t understand
what
I'm in the same boat. lol, we'll see how it goes.
Why is this relatable
I NEEDED THIS VIDEO!
I've been wanting a video that just explains all the differences between every engine in the USA for so long! This video is perfect, it gets straight to the point, no fluff or stuff to have to skip past and is super easy to understand. I'm not looking forward to memorizing ALL of the NS variants, seeing as that's where I live. Thank you!
Thanks from the UK.
Over the past year or so I've managed to suss out
The ES series & the SD70mac's
Thanks for the spotting tips on modern GE locos. I have found them difficult to discern, whereas the older 30- and 40-series EMDs had simple spotting differences.
0:07 Tony will always be missed for not just Directing Unstoppable but Crimson Tide, Top Gun, Man on Fire and The Fan
However some of the engines like the ST70AH from CSX and the SD70ACUs from NS and other engines old or new have been sent back to Progress Rail or GE (now Wabtec)
NS still has SD70ACus
@@michaelgarrett4988 Some have been sent back to PRLX
Thank you very much for using my video of 1776 in your video! I appreciate it very much. :D
So fun fact! I live down the street from that train station & Me & my Friends have recorded several videos of trains there too!
0:24 I ALMOST SEE THAT LABEL ALL THE TIME! Nice video!
Missing ones I can remember:
•SD7 (used to run on Portland & Western before retired in 2023)
•SD9 (few still runs like the Copper Basin Railway and possibly more if still needed)
•SD40M (I find those on G&W)
•SD59MX (that’s the one I was literally waiting for)
•GP39-3 (BNSF probably still use them)
•GP10 (they still use it on L&D and more)
•GP9 (some shortline railroads still use it)
•GP7u (rarely found running but I think some runs)
•GP16 (I actually saw one running)
•GP18
Awesome video, this turned out great! Very informative, & I appreciate you using my clips.
@TrainManBrodie which clips are yours?
As a new railfan this helps
Fun Fact. That station in the thumbnail is my home station
@@DarkLink1996foamerton
I thought that was a joke name until I searched it up
@@Henrytherailfan it is a joke name.
@@Henrytherailfan yep lol
Bro forgot all about the ES44DC and how CN and BNSF have the largest fleets :(((((
But seriously, really good video. This is a great resource for any budding railfan or people with a general railroad interest!
How did youtube know I needed this
Not much variety left to identify. It’s like oh, one of many sub-variety of gevos. Also GE locomotives are now made by Wabtec and EMDs by Progress Rail. CSXTs T4 ACes have been sold to PRLX. I think the detail you went into in the subtleties of the locomotives is impressive. I’m surprised you didn’t mention Alco.
I’ve seen a lot of- AND I MEAN A LOT - of train and loco videos, but not one comes even close to yours when it comes to comparing types. Well done man. Truly epic. ❤🎉
Bro keep doing what your doing I’ve been watching since your first gevo tutorial
Fullerton thumbnail goes hard
Agree! Hometown!
thanks for this video, im european and i can only tell apart a couple of older emds
Brilliant video, thanks for making it👌🏻
excellent video, thank you !
Yes thank you!
Amazing video! Love it!
Great video, I learned a lot!
I always tell gevo from ac44 is the long hood
Didn’t know you railfanned!
4:48 Top Hat. OOH I SAY HELLO!!!! -Top Hat. Its from a sister show of Thomas and Friends. Its called "TUGS".
Ha ha ha ! Love it ,,, Special Thanks for the lesson ,, I'm up-graded
Awsome!
Awesome
im so happy the UP fixed their paint scheme. the american flag near the nose looked so weird.
What an awesome video on how to identify these locomotives- and you cover so much in a short period of time! And you also describe the areas on the locos that we can use to identify them- that’s another plus for me. Great info, thank you for posting this. 👍😀
BNSF also has 3 SD40-2B'S to my understanding theres only 3 and they are based in Galesburg, ill on hump duty. they were rebuilds.
I love your videos and ho scale trains reply whars your favorite is
Yay craftey uploaded :D
fullerton in the thumbnail; =)
LFG!!!!
The sd's keep going down. my brain does not hurt it feels very good. I'm a train nerd now.
plus good job editing😲😲🤓
Great vid! Now you need to do the russian and the european one's
Please do the 5th part of the next video that goes to Busan!
EMD Stands for electoral Motive. division.Watch was general motors and is now owned by caterpillar
hi craftyfoxy
10:49 one of these hangs around the Portland Oregon metro area. Or something that looks like it. Flat radiators that are flush with the body and no notch. I'll get its number next time i see her. Same number though. Its like 4000 something idk
Will you do one for UK?
Very easy. Just a small box here and there 😅
For an European it’s even more difficult as all our engines look so similar
i like this now do the F7 f9 and Alco which one was better
Craftyfoxe can you make a tutorial for the new GO cab car for you Canadian train album? I have tried this 20 times and I need help
Bro like 30 seconds in and I’m lost again
Crafty, WHEN DID YOU COME TO FULLERTON?
Fr!
Hey man, just a question
I was a boy who wants to get into model railroading. I already have a set now from the starting side. Where should I go? Just wondering cause you seem really good at it.❤❤
when are you going to make a video in your military channel?
i noticed I could look at the writing on the locomotive to see the model if I can catch it fast enough or pause my video quick enough. wowo there's so many locomotive types
CraftFoxe can you do a build on the Southern Pacific EMD SD40T-2 in Minecraft some time? Please
Also sd40-2 high hood were also used by n&w and sou railroad
and sd45 gp30 gp35 gp38 and gp40
if locomotives are very similar take a look at their number categories.
Do you still do tutorials on this channels?
Ok does anyone have notes for the quiz on this? I keep getting ES44ACe’s mixed with Dash-9’s
This is really detailed and well done. However I will not remember any of this. That’s just me tho
I do it by shape, bell, and horn. (dont ask why.)
what about EMD SD89MAC
The GP40-2 inspired the F40PH.
I like trains to
what about EMD GP18
Cool explenation
🐐🐐🐐
AC44C6M (ns)
0:07 ho sácale southern pacific

Wanna talk about hated locomotives?? Try the C30-7.
AC6000cw
Fantastic video!. You went thru too fast tho, like someone was running behind you! :(
AC4400cw
I really wish every single GE didn't look EXACTLY THE SAME with very little difference
ac44C4M
Next make Malaysian train in Minecraft please 😊😢
you forgot the SD39-2 BNSF 1799 plus you forgot the Gp 38-2 like bnsf 2792 and 2309
next maybe mandated passenger train
What are train numbers? for
EMD Electro Motive Division . owned by Caterpillar Inc
ac4460cw convertible
c44acm

4:56 @CraftyFoxe And Union Pacific, Canadian National
