Track 1: a lashup of 3 CN M636s idling on the point of a stopped freight at Brockville, Ontario.
Track 2: Next this same train leaving westbound. These big Alcos are awesome in their starting power.
Track 3: Next another CN freight with a mixture of 3 M630/36’s , this time an eastbound, arriving , changing crews and leaving Brockville.
Track 4: Next CP’s D&H subsidiary. First 3 CP 4700’s hauling a heavy freight up the notorious Belden Hill north of Binghamton, the horns are CP, the territory is D&H, but the sound is all Alco.
Track 5: Next a similar train with more 4700s and 4500s at the same exact spot.
Track 6: Next its back to Brockville, Ont where a set of 3 CN 6 axle Alcos start and accelerate a freight eastbound.
Track 7: Next a fast moving freight westbound out of Binghamton, NY on Conrail (former Erie-Lackawanna) trackage with 3 C630/36’s in charge.
Track 8: Next some big CN Alco’s westbound, just west of Brockville.
Track 9 & 10: Next two more clips of CP’s big Alco’s pulling freights northbound up Belden Hill.
Track 11: Then it’s back to Bevier St yard in Binghamton where we hear the awesome sound of 3 big CP Alco’s starting a big train up the hill. This is a standing start of a heavy train and for Alco fans it doesn’t get any better..
Track 12: Next a southbound freight coming down Belden.
Track 13: Short snippets of C628s in Oneonta yard, and
Track 14: snippets of an M636/GP9 combination leaving Brockville on the CN.
Track 15: a NYC C430 starting up, making up a train and leaving Utica, NY yard.
Track 16: This is followed by more CN C636’s stomping out of Brockville w/ a freight.
Track 17: Next its back to Binghamton where we hear the shop men crank over a big 251 powered CP C636 and we listen as it leaves NB on a train.
Track 18: Next its Susquehanna, Pa.. where we hear a long freight with big alco power come around a long sweeping curve (red rocks) and goes down the valley, the distant sound of Big 251’s at work is a memorable sound even from some distance away.
Track 19: Next we go to D&H’s Saratoga Spa, NY yard where we catch a CP C630 moving around in the yd, interesting Alco sound.
Track 20 & 21: Then we go to a spot west of Brockville for two different WB freights at speed. Then another CN C636 leaves Brockville,
Track 22 & 23: Followed by 2 clips of a Suzy Q C430 (ex NYC) switching Utica yard. Interesting that after all the years these C430s found there way back close to their original stomping grounds.
Track 24: We finish this program with a clip of 2 sets of CP M630/36’s moving around Smith Falls, Ontario, Canada, yard, finally one of them leaves with a freight.
If you are a fan of BIG ALCO POWER, just sit back and relive the action and sounds of the ALCO Centurys and M-Series hard at work doing as they were designed to do, pull hard, smoke a lot, and generate awesome sound and pulling power. A unique sound that is fast disappearing as one by one and in bunches the BIG ALCOS are being retired, for the last time. You can’t get these sounds anymore.
