For what you guys did, I seriously can't believe that the company couldn't have done exactly what you did - but I guess its more efficient to have someone come and do it, so their guys keep working, and hey - that keeps you guys employed!

Thanks for taking us along.

THANK YOU...for sharing. Watched and enjoyed.

Thanks for another visit, but this one per week is killin' me! I want more more more, I want merch., etc. etc. etc. [slap slap] Ah...I feel much better now! How about..... a complete line tour: beginning to end (or as far as is cleared). Wouldn't take too long to make and I know there are lots of us who would like to see the whole line! Any way, I shall retire and await more video goodness!

The 44-ton locomotive built by several builders was the result of a labor agreement between the Brotherhoods and the Railroads. The FRA was not involved. I really like the work you are doing on the GE 80-tonner. The Western Railway Museum has three 44-tonners. Several other traction museums have 25-tonners also built by GE with one Diesel and one motor.

Enjoyed that! You guys are way ahead in train knowledge, but it sure is fun learning! Thanks!

That was fascinating, thank you for bringing this to the people.

Thanks for the mention! Happy to help.

That TP56 makes me think of locomotive Conrail 0. Even after Conrail went away they didn't have the heart to renumber and repaint it. It's still zero today.

Hope to see more of these repair videos in the future. Very cool

Great job, you guys thought it thru before you did any moving it. Safety was a primary consideration 👍🏻👍🏻

Learning a lot from these videos. Train blood running in your veins. Love it.

Found this video randomly and I just have to say I enjoyed it. Much respect to you and your partner. Honest work.

I see you follow the old adage, "Work smarter, not harder." Nice job.

Informative. Gives insight into another aspect of railroading. Great video. Thanks for sharing! May God bless in all your endeavors

This is a comment on some thing you said last video since I got a little behind. Get a battery operated saws all and a bunch of wood blades they will cut through those 4 inch trees like butter and the blades will last a lot longer and also be much safer you can even run those blades through the dirt to get around the backside and they’ll still be good. I wouldn’t be surprised if it didn’t even sink into the ballast and move the rocks out of the way when you’re cutting up close to the ties

They do make pruning blades, which don't clog as much as the wood blades. This results in a faster cut. I use one more and more, my chainsaw doesn't comes out unless it's 6+ inches or I have a lot to cut.

It would be a pleasure to meet a guy like you. Thanks for another great video.

Neat little video fellas. Thanks for sharing.

Well done gents! Blessings

Cheers, great job!

I enjoy your videos. Can't wait to see your rails in use. Best wishes!

If only people would do things the right way.

Don't know if you interested in what looks like a not running but maybe all there 44 ton Davenport in storage at Madison City Port Authority yard in Indiana. Might be too much to take on.

Made for a great informative video bro so thanks for taking us along. Safe travels

Thank you for sharing this part of what you do. Not something I ever thought of as a job or an issue, but it’s obviously something that would fail on site and need a tech to rectify on site. I’m sure others agree but feel free to share more of these clips from time to time.

Great work as always

One of those Auto Cranes for the 1ton would sure be handy for a situation like that. Sometimes they go cheap at the equipment auctions especially if they need minor repairs. Great job getting the door secured with just the basics can’t wait till the next video, stay safe. 👍

I love your videos. Keep up the great work!

I could tell what part of Ohio you were going to watching the scenery of the road sides. I was going to say depending on how much work is involved there was a center cab unit down on the Madison County RR at the Jefferson Proving Grounds in one of Jaw Tooth's last videos he did. Might be worth a look, but might be a bit more work than your wanting.

On to another job called....LUNCH. You are right about the 44 tonners, they were ment to get around having a fireman. The rule came around because of the transition to diesel and the fact firemen were no longer needed. This is also the reason for 'B' units, which did have controls and could be self moved/used w/o a fireman.

You guys are great. Always doing the right thing! I love your Attitude to everything. About that poor boxcar let me say this as plain as possible. I HATE GRAFFITI!!!!!!

Nice, very interesting

Found 2 hi rail dump trucks for sale, $6500 and $8500. Had some problems. you should be able to find them on western MA craigslist. I tried sending the link but my comment disappeared.

That was really great. You guys do work. You know for a smaller good switcher. I would recommend a EMD SW 1100. I don’t know what your price range is though. A SW 1500 is a terrific switcher but probably out of the price range. Or even a jeep (what they call aGP7) a 4 axle 4 traction motors. Anyway food for thought.

Great video I have an accounting /history question First the numbers How much do you charge for a repair? Is it including travel time and expenses. Who pays and how long do they take to process your invoice? My history question is when did you start your rail business and what did you start with? You mentioned purchasing locomotives and leasing them and your retail and repair activities. These are business questions and I would completely agree if you don’t want to answer Thanks Jeff

Those dump trucks are listed as dump crane trucks. No mention of rail, but they have the rail wheels on them.

Wouldn't you love to see that door come flying out of the car, on a curve, at 90 MPH, like a frisbee ?

What about a 1200 or 1500 switcher ? I would love to see one of the old Alcos gathering dust in Scotia get back on the tracks.

Enjoy going to the job sites!

I wondered if you all were in Ohio and in the first 2 min I noticed the mansion outside of New Albany cool to see this happening semi-local to me in Newark wish you all the best and looking forward to the next vid also if you ever need help let me know!!

Thanks for reading out my comment!

Just curious ball park ... how much will they pay for that job?

I love your suicide knob on your steering wheel, that is OLD SCHOOL! Right on my brother! Coffee, driving, reading your notes, multi task my brother, u r so cool !

What about an SW-8 switcher. They have 800 horse power and parts are still available for them. We have one that use to be an Amtrak locomotive.

I see you got off at the new cherry valley road exit, I assume that job was in Newark

I saw that boxcar, & noticed it's missing door, I did not have enough time to see the door because trains in my area usually do 30 on the jets (intermodal), and 25 for everything else.

You guys should also use a portable derail(s) or lock the switch(es) out in addition to blue flags.

I know you guys are interested in centre cab switcher/shunting locomotives, so what do think about GE's 1970s SL series (types 65-144)? Great work, guys! Keep it up.

reminds me of when I had to study flash cards before going to class back in my college days (1 hr drive each way)... I wouldn't even dream of trying that today, especially with my cheap reading glasses.

i give it one, maybe two, trips over a (UP) hump. It will either be sticking out the side again or resting against the end bulkhead. Putting a "Do Not Hump" sign on it would do little to preventing it. But, what can you do?

Yup except it was just the firemen and the engineer, not the conducter... its because the brother hood the locomotive firemen was going to sew the railroads for it so they proposed anything over 45 tons needed a full crew thinking they wouldn't be able to produce a locomotive of that weight but starting with Whitcomb then ending with GE they produced a lot of them

I used to work at a printing plant that received paper via rail. Interesting cushioning systems that they used to protect the giant rolls inside.

I saw an add for a 45-ton GE Switcher down in Greenville, SC The company was MP&ES...don't know what they are asking for it

As an aside to the other "safety oriented" comments I see already posted below, can we assume that while Graham was out putting the blue flag up, Brian checked that the car was properly braked so that it wouldn't start rolling while you were working on it ?
