Lloyd –
Growing up back home (southeastern Ontario), working in the fields harvesting crops, we witnessed these new powerful engines….. the SD40’s, then SD40-2’s, in mainline service. They were so exciting to see, we stopped the tractors everytime one passed just to see them. Well, 50+ years later, my home location has changed by more than 3,200km’s, but the excitement of seeing the SD40’s 40-2’s, etc… has not changed. They are still the crown prince of the railroads. This series does an excellent job allowing us the opportunity at seeing these jewels in action, in great locations, by many of the railroads who owned them. Vol. # 2 includes the regions of Indiana, Illinois & Ohio. Power is seen from BNSF, CPR, CNR, UP, CSX, NS, some regionals, & some lease companies. C-Vision does an excellent job preserving the memories of these super-stars of the railroads.
