- 60 minutes of non-stop ALCo action on the mainlines in Southern Ontario. Filmed from
1989 to 1997 with a Hi-8 video camera, then later digital-8, and transferred to VHS masters.
This is action that can no longer be seen on the Canadian mainline railways. M420(W),
RS18u, C424, C630M, M630, M636, HR616 and LRC.
Never thought I’d miss hearing them chugga-chugga-chugga down the rails. Thanks for documenting them in action.
Well.... The HR616 is officially extinct...... the last 5 survivors were scrapped at NRE in july 2019 :( 1982-2019
Man alco's sound so strange... and you can't barely hear them over howling 645s
ALCO HEAVEN!! 🚂🚂🚂🚂😂😂
Wow that brings back memories, the burble of the old Alco and the staccato roar of the 251 engine. I love the mix of power it brings me back memories of watching trains in the 80s.
I have one in scale 4 ft long for my grandson sure wish I could post a picture I put his birthday for the road # 2018 😊
West Tennessee Railroad had 3 of the MLW Alco engines. One got totaled in a derailment in Sharon, TN. I’m not sure if they still have the other two or not. I got to ride in one of them back in 2007, from Dyer, TN to Humboldt, TN.
I know that CN locomotives don't have dynamic brakes, except someSD40-2's. As a retired engineer, I can't believe the engine brake shoe smoke shown in some of these scenes.
Chug chug chug chug
That's when watching trains a was a thing . Now it's a Mile long consist of graffiti tagged hoppers
Fabulous footage
Many great memories. Thanks.
Awesome Video
Nice collection of footage! Really enjoyed that. I have been to many of those locations myself. I was surprised to not see one of the old RS-18 Tempo Paint CN Locos that used to run between Toronto and Windsor.
Excellent video. Long live ALCO/MLW :)
No problem! Thank You!
Awesome video! I laughed pretty hard at the
There is still one of those 4 window jobby's [like 5352] in thunder Bay, i see it now and then moving grain cars around.
