Rick would have hated seeing those engines in that state even going for scrap. Don’t think I have ever seen one of his locos so dirty or tatty…. Scrap or not. RIP big guy. Great company - great man.
Those are just being moved to another location for Corman. They aren't being scrapped. Going to Corman's operation in Clearfield PA. I imagine they will be put in the shop there for some TLC (they got beat to hell working a grain processing plant in Decatur, IL) and then sent to other locations.
Interesting collection of locomotives: NS 721 A road slug, as you can see from the lack of fans except the dynamics RJC 9009 GP9, built 1958 for the B&O RJC 1739 GP16, built 1955 for the Seaboard Air Line RJC 7681 GP38, built 1969 for Penn Central RJC 1208 SW1200 RJC 9002 high-hood GP9, built 1956 for the C&O.
Cool video, mate! Hopefully some of them RJs will turn up again. Nice SD70ACe in the funeral procession. We use those engines in Australia. Have a great week 🚂🇦🇺🚂🇺🇸🚂
Good catch but a sad one. Hope that at least one gets preserved or maybe donated to a museum. Especially one of the little switchers or the ancient high hood GP.
As Indiana Jones said " it belongs in a musem" , I'd bet there's railroad musems out there that would love some of these units instead of sending them to the scrap. High hoods are becoming rarer and rarer these days,not to mention the old switcher
One would have to check the list published by the FRA of condemned locomotives RJC agreed to scrap as part of the emissions extortion racket. (I would but I’m way too lazy.)
I definitely agree with ethan and it’s disgusting how railroads don’t see the historic value in them enough to restore them and use them to take excursions then they would be making money on trains they would have scrapped and if rj corman doesn’t exist no more that makes it worse! money can’t replace history it’s a shame the public couldn’t weigh in and suggest not doing so suggesting historical value
These RJ Corman units came out of Decatur IL where they recently lost a switching contract. I doubt they’ll be scrapped but they were in very poor condition when they left
Neat, and sweet catch. I think these locomotives are now at Cresson. I heard 10G dropped the RJ’s off at Altoona. C52 picked them up, and went into the Cresson yard. Edit: Would also like to mention that there is a scrap yard at Cresson. BUT, there is also an R.J. Corman line there as well.
@@bhproductions1061 They could’ve, but as you know they can never make anything quick lol. So if they were to take the RJ’s off at Cresson, they would probably be holding up the whole main (Cresson yard can’t fit a train as big as 10G, while C52 is a small local).
It's a wonder someone don't get their act together and buy sell & trade road switchers to all the short-lines especially the mother & slugs sets as a operational cost cutter savings. Then gather up all SW's and alike switchers and modify them into smaller Gen-sets for private industrial purpose either to Sell or Lease them. It would be a waste to scrap them.
My children😮 Spent countless nights on all of them Was there for the last day. Could tell you anything about them. Wonder what happened to our “newest” engine. Probably sent to a different short line. Was still in decent shape. 3844.
@@bhproductions1061 Same! I understand ya can't save them all but that SW and that GP9 would be great candidates for cosmetic restorations as they probably ran before they were pulled from the roster. Possibly good excursion locos.
For sure! I’m now just waiting to get an NS high hood all the ones that are in the Conway yard are in a deadline or in yard service and you can’t get a good view of them

Ok 👍 I was told by some NS employees that it was a funeral train
They are not being scrapped they're being transferred to another RJ Corman Route

RJC 9002 high-hood GP9, built 1956 for the C&O.
Wow that’s really cool thank you for the information
highly doubt these will be scrapped. Rj Corman isn't going to scrap a GP38-2 unless its got a frame issue.
I’m not sure exactly what’s going on with them

Thanks 🙏 glad you liked it
If you want to go see them we saw three units in Thurmond WV this past December
@@VA_Railfan123 thanks Virginian! 😊

Rest In Peace you beautiful locomotives

The B&P GP9’s are on the list for scrap
I thought that was G&W, not RJC?
B&P is owned by the G&W
@@river94 You are 100% correct. However, in my defense, I was under the influence of fried chicken and sweet tea at the time of writing.🥴
I can see why you couldn't wait to post that. GREAT catch!!
Thanks and yeah it was hard to wait lol
Awesome video
Thank you!
I have my doubts on those getting scrapped. They’re probably being transferred
New sub BTW! 👍
Thank you 🙏
Nice video, thumbs up :)
Thank you 🙏
Cool video
Thank you 🙏
Sweet catch Blaine! 🤘😎
Thanks
They are being moved to another location
Great lashup awesome hunting broo 🔥👊🏽
Thanks 🙏
Awesokme catch!

A wonderful video my friend 😊

Sad to see these classic locomotives go.
Nice catch.
Thank you 🙏
Power transfer?

Ah true never thought about that
Wow great catch! -Jenny
Thanks
@@bhproductions1061 Your welcome.
Wish they could have saved that end cab switcher or that high short hood Geep.
Same
See how close the NS units are to the torch themselves.
More like bankruptcy than anything
what a sad sight😭
Be like scrapping a bunch of still-running ‘57 Chevys to me.
Yup we don’t want them to go!

My children😮
Spent countless nights on all of them
Was there for the last day. Could tell you anything about them.
Wonder what happened to our “newest” engine. Probably sent to a different short line. Was still in decent shape. 3844.
It went to Tennessee Terminal.
I like them as well
What will happen to rj corman s locomotives are these there older units like gp units
I’m not sure
I think they are moving them to Skullneck junction!
Probably
Should have saved the highood at the rear
I’m hoping that’s the case
Can someone tell me what’s going on in here?
Some people have told me it’s a funeral train other have said it’s a transfer move
Oh no 😢
Yeah
@@bhproductions1061 my friend said someone got yelled at there last year
@@ColeChi2009 were They on the bridge?
@@bhproductions1061 yeah
Interesting
Today? Where’s it going?
This was yesterday they just passed the Horseshoe curve about an hour ago going east
Nice footage man.. I'm wondering if any of those locos will end up at Reading and Northern 🤔
Probably and thx
Great catch! Darn shame to see whats happening to all these old EMDs.
Thank you and yes it is ashame to see them go just wish some could be preserved and put in a museum
@@bhproductions1061 Same! I understand ya can't save them all but that SW and that GP9 would be great candidates for cosmetic restorations as they probably ran before they were pulled from the roster. Possibly good excursion locos.
The chopped nose GP9 or the High hood
@@bhproductions1061 High hood for sure! Just a classic, traditional unique looking locomotive!
For sure! I’m now just waiting to get an NS high hood all the ones that are in the Conway yard are in a deadline or in yard service and you can’t get a good view of them
that’s not a funeral train
Oh?
Are they out of business?
Don’t believe so
Did Corman fold?
No
So What I'm Looking At Is S ES44CH, GP40, Slug, old junk, SD70ACe, and a GP38? Too much horsepower!
Haha
AC44C6M is the lead unit, not an ES44
