The SD40-2 and its 645 prime mover have operated on railroads for nearly 50 years.Once superior main line power, it has been overtaken by more efficient computerized engines. Trains featured in this program all have SD40-2’s leading in all kinds of service from the years 2013-2017.

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. # 3 is really no different from the previous volumes, except for a change in railroad companies seen. Montana Rail Link makes appearances, as does several other regional & shortlines. C-Vision does an excellent job preserving the memories of these super-stars of the railroads.
