Great Northern 325 Returns to the Rails! -Rare SDP40-
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Great Northern 325, a RARE SDP40, was recently repainted into its as delivered scheme. The classy Omaha Orange and Pullman Green fits the locomotive perfectly, with a matching set of passenger cars.
In this video, we'll chase GN 325 on its FIRST passenger runs since it was repainted. The targeted era is the late 1960s, just prior to Amtrak and the BN Merger. Along the way we'll see stunning scenes along the St. Croix River, overhead views with the drone, and beautiful scenery along the way. This charter was a great deal of fun, and the 325 looks right at home.

It was a neat, and fun sight on this photo charter. The smoke show was an added bonus!

Fascinating how conditions changed during the runbys on the bridge. That first shot with the fog was very atmospheric (plus the graffiti wasnt so conspicuous).

Yes is was, and the change in conditions happened over the course of about 45 minutes. It was amazing see the sun slowly burn it off, and blue skies emerge.
great video very well done

Thank you very much! Glad that you enjoyed it!
I loved the history lesson about this scenic railroad. Ive always wanted to go there but always make the trip to Duluth for the longer ride on NSSR.

Glad you enjoyed it! They are fun to ride on, and the track is in good shape too. Thank you for watching!
Great to see a rare EMD back riding the rails. Some fake (aka: cosmetic) vents and exhaust on the long hood end would have been a nice way to complete the look of the unit as an SDP40.

Its great to see it plying the rails again! What vents are you talking about with the exhaust?
Kind of wish they painted into the original blue and black but it still looks great. Nice video keep it up

I know a lot of people fell/felt that way with the BSB, me included. However, it looks great with a matching trainset, and goes well with the other passenger cars. Thank you for watching!

I'm happy to hear you enjoyed it! I am happy to see the 325 back in those GN colors; it looks great with the other cars.
With all the smoke from the engine, it almost looked like a steam locomotive.

Great Northern #325 back home in Omaha Orange and Pullman Green to match their Great Northern passenger cars in their collection. Thats a good video. Great Northern #325 is my favorite locomotive at MTM. She's a beauty. You did a good chase.

Great video, thanks for posting. I have a still pix of an SDP40 leading a BN freight on the Q in Westmont, but it was in Big Sky Blue. Don't know the number offhand.

Very cool! Be interesting to see if it happened to be the 325.
I’ll forgive them for depriving us of Big Sky Blue and Cascade Green if and when I see her paired with the Hustle Muscle.
Fantastic video and a beautiful consist. The 325 looks great in the GN scheme. Well done! Mike
