Excellent video. I really liked to see all these "old" u-boat power! Thanks for sharing Kent!

Man, check out those B units!

Posted by rrvideoman on November 25, 2007

Excellent Kent. All those B-Units on one train was really good. Very enjoyable video.

Liked the rare ex-Reading caboose on the rear of the last train. CR only had 10 of them....

I'm not too sure that second train has enough power. LOL, nice video

Some nice history documented in this clip. I also can't get over that BN with all those B units!!! Cool

Posted by Gary Hardings on August 18, 2008

Ive never seen so many B units on one train!

I really like your editing this down to locos with occasional caboose. Freight rolling by can get a little boring. Makes an exciting video, always wondering what's next!

A Caboose ...what was that!! ...lol Coming from the era of working cabooses... Was a sight to see shoved and pulled many of 'em...at time wish we still had 'em... Santa Fe lives ... old Joint Line Engineer..

Beautiful! I was 12 years old at the time and these are the kind of trains I remember. All different kinds of engines and cabooses. Now everything is two wide body's and a blinking light on the rear. Thanks so much for sharing this time capsule with us Kent.

The last three of the BN cabless GE units were being dellivered new from the GE factory. The entire footage is awesome.

Classic power. I loved the old PC unit. The caboose was a great conclusion.
