She'll be Comin' Down the Mountain....
Author: funnelfan

A really late era SP train in the months before the UP merger coming down the mountain on the Caldwell Model Railroad club. A EMD Demo/Leaser that was part of the SP I-5 corridor SD70M lease fleet leads a repainted SD40T-2 and a AC4400 on a train full of freshly rebuilt Golden West Service cars. Ignore the dangling wires in the background, they are in the midst of a electrical project there on the club layout.

Nice job. Is the 'sound' using the dynamic brakes?

Didn't notice the second deck until well into the video.

Probably sitting at the magnet in the yard.

Yep, that is the sound of heavy dynamic braking. Not sure why the sound of the AC4400 doesn't stand out in the video like it did in person.

Neat video Ted. You were wondering in another thread whether it was worth putting up your videos...I just want to say: please put me down in the plus column! I always enjoy your photos, videos and the stories you post with them. Your modeling tips are also greatly appreciated. Thanks for sharing all that with us.
