Great video … I … Great video … I heard that #25 is no longer part of the WMSR and is part of another RR now. Does anyone have more info on this? Having just ridden the run from berland to Frostburg round trip I can vouch that the rocking is from a need to work over the tracks. #734 rocks side to side as do the passanger cars. While the GP9s are great I prefer steam power and #734 does the WMSR fans proud.
That horn is 100% … That horn is 100% perfect and the locomotive is even better! I think the horn blowing was excellent ! I liked all the smoke just like the GP9’s I remember growing up on the C & O of Indiana ! Nice job filming the video too.
actually thats … actually thats another engineer at the first clip. the rest of the clips is another engineer who works for Amtrak. The first person running is the Chief Mechanical Officer of the WMSR.
I didnt say … I didnt say anything about being experienced or not ,being experienced would just mean you can handle a good train and know whats going on ( rules…ect..! ).I`ve never rode with him to comment on that.His horn blowing still sucks.Just as proof watch the first run by.He stops blowing before the engine even occupies the crossing.The FRA would kind of frown on that especially carrying passengers.Still a good sounding horn.
Its call a … Its call a signature. and for your information he is a very experienced engineer. And I appreciate the leslie sounding good. I rebuilt it.
I gave you 5 stars … I gave you 5 stars but I have one gripe that isnt you fault. The engineer on that locomotive really needs some touching up on his horn blowing. There is NO consistancy to it. One of his longs will be longer than the others and his shorts are too short. just my opinion but it is an excellent sounding Leslie horn!
Great vid! When did … Great vid! When did they aquire the GP-9? And does anyone know where it came from because i thought they all got scrapped except the one still in Chessie paint that used to be at the GWRR?
