That's an AC44CW, nod an SD70. You can tell by the shape of the cab windows (GEs are rectangular; EMDs usually taper towards the centre) and the radiator pod at the back (GE's are "roof-shaped" on top; EMD are flat on top but have a V-shaped profile underneath). BKTY is a reporting mark that UP uses for box cars that it leases from one of the big leasing companies. They tend to be older cars but, recently, they got some brand new cars that look like TBOXes except they have yellow doors and UP logos on them.

Hi Brian, hope all is well and that you had a good summer. Perhaps you could give us an update on what happened with the trans load contract, I sure am curious. Always enjoyed your channel, thanks for taking us along.

Hope all is well, been watching for new content.

Thank you for sharing. Nice catch Brian.👍

Cool video Brian. Always good to see you on here. 👍❤️

Consider going up to Wagon Mound, NM sometime to look at the last Semaphore signals in use in the USA.

Welcome to Fort Worth, home of the late Tower 55

Great railroading in a big state.

A quick teaser video. Enjoy that nice weather its not so nice in the midwest now.

I've been following you from the beginning and the last thing I wanted to hear is that the experiment is done. Please return soon with new content.

you should visit the Cherokee Yard in Oklahoma if you're heading north

Never thought I'd see Ft. Worth on this channel! Was just there today!

​@@eastterminalrailway5975 definitely quite a few places to catch trains, especially around Tower 55!

We had a 68 degree day here in South Jersey today. Looking forward to update clips on the ETR. At least give the loco a lil run.

The DPU isn't an SD70, it's some sort of GE, probably an AC44CW or a GEVO or a variant of those at the least

The DPU was an AC4400CW

I have been wondering what is happening with the East Terminal Railway?

Where UP runs through Central Oklahoma there will be 3 or 4 engines leading, 2 in the middle and 2 on the end. Mind you, from Kansas to Texas is fairly level ground.

Interesting, spent the last month in Ft Worth.

When is your next video? I find myself checking your page for new videos daily

How did you like my home state? Great railroading in FW. Did you get to see hodge yard? Davidson? Saginaw????

Any news on your transload contract? and how about insurance for your operation?

What you charge for me to hangout with you rail heads ?

With the advent of the East Palestine train trouble, there is lots of talk about upgrading braking systems from civil war areas to more modern ones. could you explain to us what that means and how that would work?.

Got a DPU on the end

@@eastterminalrailway5975 OK, now I see. I never see it from where you were, we come in from the other side next to that building with the ties stacked in front of it when we need to work on a locomotive, and it’s usually after dark. It seems like that’s called the North Yard, but I’m not sure. It’s south of the Peach Street Yard. The track closest to that brick building is what we call the gauntlet track. The train was going south and pulling into Ney Yard, it’s an old Katy yard. I work in the old T&P shops about 3 miles west of where you were.

Hey Brian can you comment on the recent RR incident in OHIO ? The big question I have with newly released videos showing one of the rail car’s wheels trucks burning going to the undercarriage being pulled through a industrial area, the question I have is why didn’t anyone report this incident or some of the crew didn’t know what was happening to there our rig

Is there any one in that DPU

No, DPUs are radio-controlled from the head end.

Saw the Massive Pile of Old Railroad Ties by the Abandoned Building. Railroads are Extremely Slow with getting Regular Debris as well as Derailment Debris Removed. 👎

So what happened to the ETR? No videos in 7 months? Illness? Out of money?

No, not an SD70. Not even an EMD. It is some kind of GE. Shame on you!!!!

What a bust this channel is. More focused on KZread views than what you initially set out to do on this channel. ETR is officially a hotdog. Some pork. A lot of filler.
