A filthy 567 long hood leading is what it is all about - thou hast class and style!

Fabulous old work horse still doing a great job after 60 years on the rails!

Super strong and dependable

Nice to see one that is still in operation that doesn't have a chopped nose. SD7 and SD9 locomotives are among the most beautiful locomotives ever built!!!

I love how they sound. I hear them every day as a kid. Southern Pacific started using them between S.F. and San Jose commuter runs in the late 60's.

Any one have a reference to a chop nose SD7 or 9? I've never even heard of one.

I saw this old girl working the yard today at Queen and decided to look her up when I got home. Thanks for the video.

Metro Vick . The h

Marvelous machine hard at work. I need to weather my SD9 to look like that one. Thanks for sharing.

I have to admit that I admire these guys. All the comments below about track and loco all make the point that the railroad is being run on a minimum budget but yet the Engineer and Switchman know what speed they can pull and push those cars and still be safe. A P&W switching layout with UP mainline running past would certainly be fun - I just suspect I'd wreck more cars than the professionals do trying to switch at that speed! Having to race from end-to-end on a quad-bike must be a bit different to mainline switching too!

Old "Cadillac" still working when many far newer locomotives have made a one way trip to the scrapper.

SO AWESOME to see an old Espee Cadillac STILL working the rails!!

You ain't lying about the weathering. And is any of that original SP paint or just later painted a similar color?

No, it was actually a UP GP39 on a local doing some switching.

looks like the fair-bank Morse from master of the rail

Do they still have the SD7?

Random question. Do you know if they still run trains on that single line that runs south from Albany to Eugene? This is the on that actually crosses Hwy 34 at grade.

Hi. As far as I'm aware, the PNWR operate a local from Albany to Eugene. I havent been in OR since 2011 so I'm a little out of touch. I have uploaded a video of the train in question crossing HY34 back in 2007.

That would be a real shame..it must be one of the oldest working locomotives in the US.

Does this company not have enough money to paint this poor engine? Geez.
