I wish I had a nickel for every time I sat behind the throttle of that locomotive! Worked as a hostler, fireman, and hogger for the CNW from 1974 until the UP bought the CNW in 1995. I loved those SD40-2s!

Brings back memories from when I was a kid. I was fortunate enough to get to ride in a Missouri Pacific, SD40-2 back in ‘81. My uncle worked in the yards and gave me a tour of his shop and the ride. I always loved the sound of them. I still have a brass reversing handle from that visit.

Love the music of the engines turbo…. Was on 2 tugboats that had an EMD 20-645 E5 turbo diesels pure beasts with 12 ft propellers …Tugboats/Locomotives my favorite heavy duty machines.

I was always fascinated by those control panels as a kid
-
I was an electrician on the C&NW, the SD-40-2 were easy to work on and very reliable engines

I can remember as a kid, going for a short cab ride in one of those SD units, there were like 8 of us all jammed up in the cab lol great times 🙂

That was a great treat at the end!!! 😊

My favorite unit after 42 straight years, Fireman- Engineer 67 - 2009, on the C&EI, MOPAC and finally it all morphed into the UP...! Never missed a beat and I have to say I enjoyed it...! LOL.... Loved the SD-40 -2 long decks and hearing that turbo brings back memories, I especially liked heavy stretch braking and throttling down with that rumble, what a sound ...!!!! "Smoke Em"... Crackers

My favorite part of the video is at the end when the train pulls into the siding to meet the Frisco steam train.

Fan fact-this track is the original right of way from the Elgin and Belvidere Electric that started operation in 1907. The adjacent track is originally the C&NW Galena subdivision dating back to the mid 1850s
-
The best office view!!
-
Thank you. All of this is wonderful. I always wanted to drive/watch from Engineer's porthole/window. I'm familiar w/ships, this is Way Cool! ! !
