I'm very impressed with NS with the idea of rebuilding their locomotive fleets. the DC to AC Program is something I have been involved with. As a college student and avid railroad volunteer (mostly track work), I got inside looks at the Juniata, Roanoke, and Altoona Locomotive works, I got full details on the DC to AC program and the privilege to help build the first SD70ACC, and help rewire components on the former NS AC44C6C 8520, before it was sold.

The rest of this video is a montage of locomotives old & new. Some have already disappeared and some are on the endangered list. Every new innovation is eventually replaced by a newer and better one, so shoot it today because you don't know if you're going to have it tomorrow. -Trains21

I think the Tuscan stripe on the Sonic Bonnet represented the N&W stripe used on the passenger steam engines, like the 611, and the maroon used on their post-1975 and their current R&D diesels. Whereas the blue stripe for the Juniata shopped units represent Conrail, but I do see your train of thought where the blue could be N&W Pevlar blue used in their diesels and PRR Tuscan. I can make an argument either way.

Hi AC....Im new to your channel. Superb videos,the best I've seen,and some of my "train crew" here in Bucks County,Pa have had their train pictures published in that Railroaded magazine. To make your videos even more meaningful for me,I own my own food brokerage business. I represent some 7 food companies like cheese,bakery,turkey,chicken,manufacturers. My territory is Pennsylvania out to Pittsburgh,all of NJ,Md,MD, and VA. As I call on Weis in Sunbury,Giant in Carlisle,Gerritys in Scranton/WilkesBarre,Sheetz in Altoona,Turkey Hill in Lancaster .....I know the Rt 11/15 route,Enola yards,Taylor yard,the Curve,Bound Brook,Allentown yards.....all the great Pa train viewing locations. After my sales calls in those areas I pull over and wait for the freight. Funny,as a young boy into N,HO,O trains,I hated any road with black or grey locomotives. I liked SF, NP,SP,IC,MR,UP, and others. Now.....I like NS a lot. I like their stock price too....kinda shows what they are doing us on "the right track" so to speak. In taking many,many train photos over so many years,I ceased taking CSX's dirty,filthy,rusted beer can engines that all looked like they rolled down a ravine. IMO 7 out of 10 CSX engines are horribly unkempt. Try using some Palmolive on your equipment once in awhile. 🤣😂😅😆😁😳 But seriously,your presentation is superb,your info is very interesting, the breadth and width of the engine types shown is incredible and as I said .....it hits home with me because I've driven these roads by trackside. Many good memories. But,honestly,like all my fellow train dudes I miss the Pennsy,the Reading,the Lehigh Valley,the NYC,the Erie Lackawanna, the D&H. Here in Bucks,we do get some CP Dash 9s,CP ES4400s,BNSF of the same when the Bakken oil fields trains come through Penndel and Langhorne bound for the refineries. I must put my two cents in for NS again. Being Im in food marketing, a great idea by NS capturing all the old roads that amalgamated into the NS with the Heritage locomotives. Just wish they could paint more of our fallen flags and run those engines in the territories they once tracked. Merry Christmas to you and all!!! 🕯➕🕯

I would love to see them bring back the SD 40-2's that's my favorite locomotives

I think because AC's just had different equipment. If you're comparing a Dash 9 to something like an AC44 or a GEVO, then yeah AC's will sound much different because...different current. I don't know too much about them in motion, but I know when starting that AC traction motors have a bit of a crescendo in scale or pitch. Musically speaking I'd say it's more noticeable with AC-traction electric locomotives, but it's still noticeable enough on diesels

Honestly with all these new fancy type of engines like ACC46M's and SD40-3's and what not makes my head spin in confusion. I have a feeling once the Eco friendly craze dies out in a year or two a lot of these rebuilt engines are going to start disappearing like the GEVO's that were once the "new eco future" did.

If you are talking about 8720, that's an ES44AC, built 2005. If you are talking about 9837, that's an AC44CW, built in 2004. The ES44AC has GE's self-steering trucks but later orders of the same locomotive by CP, spec'd out the Hi-Adhesion trucks due to increased maintenance requirements and costs of the self-steering design. The AC44CW was also delivered with Steerable trucks, and many have been upgraded at time of refurbishment or rebuilding, to Hi-Ad trucks instead.
