Awesome! One of my favorite horns. |

Nice video and sound. Not sure why he's notching out and applying air to the automatic brake at the same time though.....unless he's trying to stretch the train a little which might be the case as he seems to be depressing the independent brake handle. |

Notching out the throttle while setting the train brake is the way you control you speed downhill. If you just set the brakes you will eventually stop. If you keep setting and releasing the train brakes, you will run out of air. You set the brakes until you start to slow down and then use the throttle to control your speed. More throttle to speed up and less to slow down. |

Yes...F7 I used to watch WPs at the Williams and 23rd St yard in San Jose,CA in the late 1970's when I worked for the Towing Compnay at 23rd and Williams....I could come into the yard towing in a wreck at 2:30am and that dang train would be blocking the street all night - but those sounds are exactly as I remember them.....cool vid. |

Love how hard he hits the brake at the end. Awesome Video. |
Posted by Jiffy Man on May 27, 2008
Yes Dillon he did hit the brake valve handle hard. It's called showing off for the cameraman, like most of his actions in the clip. |

Enjoyable. The horn sounds like a Leslie S3 series. |

I'm quite used to seeing 67 as she is in Elkins every weekend. By the way 67 is actually an FP7 |

Beautiful orchestration. There's a lot going on there (at least it seems from this untrained eye's perspective) |

Always enjoyable seeing a classic EMD F unit. Neat hearing the transition sounds and the 567 diesel chant. Thank you for posting. |

I love that EMDs old horn.

He added the brakes to hold the train back so he could blow more exhaust! Notch it up and you get some pretty awesome smoke some out. Check out EOLX 15, they were doing that when some of those pictures were taken on the Inland Lakes Railway. |

#67 began life as Clinchfield RR #200. I grew up about a mile from the CRR main line near Relief, and can recall many summer nights out on the front porch and hearing F's like this running up and down the Appalachian Mountains. Boy, does that horn bring back memories. |

I don't know if it was an E unit or F unit that I was lucky to get in as a 10 year old back in Wellsville N.Y. on the Pennsylvania railroad. This brought back memories. |

I've ridden many a mile in the cab of locomotives, and NEVER seen throttle-brake applications delivered like this fellow. I think he put a little "shine" on for Chris ... |
Posted by Tommy24 on January 10, 2010
Maybe someone should teach him to bail his brakes properly the first time. Then we wouldn't need the show. Anyone who is trained knows what he is doing does nothing. Good video though, it's the way it is... |
Posted by swmorailfan on July 1, 2010
Got to love the sound of those EMD 567 prime movers throttling up to speed, GREAT video, one of the best cab rides ive ever seen. |

Too bad a vintage locomotive has to be abused by an operator who thinks he's hot stuff. |

Its a photo runby folks... of course he is showing off... |
Posted by Ronald Allsbury on August 7, 2012
He might be bridge braking .

36 years of engine service I have ripped more than one fireman/student for what that rookie is doing with that engine brake.You hold it down 4 seconds per engine in your consist,or when the automatic brake valve stops blowing.He clearly does not know his business sitting there.Bouncing that handle up and down only inhibits what he is trying to do.If I were a Fed,I'd yank his license till he learned to do it right. |

One of my favorite sounds, what was the special little horn "blows" and what was up with the knocking off the locomotive brake like that? |
Posted by TheThomasSproduction on March 11, 2013
Sounds like a GP38-2. |
