Must See & Hear - 78 car Local Freight C721 - GP40-2 & Road Slug
Author: cornerfieldhobby

Here is a must see and hear video I took this evening in Mentor Ohio. My voice talking at the beginning of the video was because I recorded the video on my phone for a friend to see where as this video I recorded from my Sony Handycam. Turn up your volume to hear the ROAR of the leader EMD pulling the longest Local Freight I have ever ever seen in person. CSX westbound freight C721 lead by Notch 8 - YN3b Standard Cab GP40-2 #6457 & YN3b Road Slug #2230 pulling 78 cars!!!

Seventy-eight cars on a local! That is one "big" local.

Those grain cars are actually loaded salt from Morton in Fairport Harbor from Grand River Railroad.
