Wow good to see the old units smoking away happily in daily service

Do you have a favorite?

LOVED this video. Gonna watch it again tonight. Cheers

Just wondering, when was the footage taken?

[mapitts]

At 6 minutes and 30 seconds into the video, that is 100% pure 251 ALCO. No horn just sound and the "smoke show". Hard to beat by any railfan's standards. Also glad that the shots were without any horn for the most part. I can hear horns anytime I want. Not ALCO's. Brings back memories of L&N's RS3's & C420's I watched as a kid. Thanks for the video. I consider that an early Christmas present! Still partial to the 539's though!

I haven't seen that many well-tuned RS-3s in one place in at least half a century. This sure is a delightful change from the last time I saw them, making their last stand under Penn Central. Great work!

It's really cool to see these loco's still in action. It means I can include these kinds of lash-ups in my route and it will still fit a 2015 prototypical scene.
