I'm an older Canadian women whose family were all railway workers. I really enjoy your videos especially this one. Here in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada we have the Prairie Dog Central Railway. They run a beautiful old 4-4-0 1882 Dubs and company (Glasgow, Scotland) built for the Canadian Pacific Railway. My family had a connection to the engine as my Grandfather was a section foreman for CPR and my dad remembered the engine from his childhood. They also run an EMD GP9 diesel locomotive built in 1958 by General Motors. I love the old steam engines and have fond memories of the old diesel trains carrying grain to the northern Port of Churchill.

Meanwhile you’ll still find many Soviet era locomotives in the former Eastern Bloc countries because they don’t believe in the throwaway culture

I give thank you to those who work on the railroad out there. I remember being a kid and my dad and I going to train tracks to watch a train. Come through.

GP’s, Dash-8’s, High-hoods, SD’s, SW’s and so much mighty machines, I’m glad their history is is useful, even they’re gone, but they never forget of how deep dive to the Electromotive Division.<br><br>It would be better if they were able perseverance, like museums, or used for excursions, shortline or other heritage railroads, or maybe on static displays on roundhouses.<br><br>Love ‘em all. ❤️🕊️

A little known fact about the CSX ET23s is that they are technically GEVOs

It is good to see some old equipment recycled. When old equipment doesn't get recycled I can only think that management does not to put money into doing the right thing. It is more important to reach short term goals and get their bonuses,

Attention Saturday's market shoppers there is a bunch of very good part outs for locomotives and other parts to keep the other rolling stock moving as well

Brilliant footage and explanation. That 4501-steam locomotive is a beauty. Great that she is preserved and in use.

I can never sit still and watch a full video of anybody else's train videos on here except yours. You do a fantastic job something to do with the way you explain everything. Excellent job looking forward to new videos. Maybe do a video about Pam am railways.

It is amazing to see they repurpose old locomotives as non powered end cabs
