Those U18B's are just cool locomotives. Looks like the horns are Nathen P3's.

Really nice work, Joe.  I like how you worked in the old cast iron milepost on the third one.

Uboats are fun to run, but the 1800hp model is weak as a kitten......of course they never slip on wet rail....so that's one good thing.

Congratulations on VOTD! I enjoyed hearing the train roll over jointed rail, that’s something that isn’t very common anymore.

Great video, I need to spend some time on the Pickens myself. That was quite a large block of empty CP boxcars. Any idea as to why they were on the PICK? Storage or a customer that uses them?
