Turn up those speakers! Make your neighbors hear the video! There's nothing like the sound of wideopen 16 cylinder EMD 645 prime movers as they lug a heavy freight up a grade.
In this video, we'll see full throttle and Notch 8 SD402's climbing grades on various railroads in Pennsylvania, New York, and Vermont. Train and location information is listed down below.
