The dash 8s have been one of my favorite locomotives for both passenger and freight. My favorite paint scheme on a dash 8 was NS's whitestripe scheme.

5:33 the Santa Fe horns were mainly p3 some p5

The Dash 8s were a favorite in my childhood. I do hope some of them will be sold to railway museum’s to remind fans like myself of the glory day of Dash 8s.

The Burlington northern B units are actually still at the ge erie plant i saw them on a drone footage of the storage yard

[reesochacon]

What a great way to start a series. This makes me want to learn more about North American freight diesels. Nice job.

Wow thanks for telling me that Amtrak's dash 8s and band's dash 8s had different paint schemes, I would have never noticed

5:36 The Leslie RS3L is probably my second favorite horn alongside the Nathan K5LA

I just received a HO scale BNSF C-40-8W #812 of the Bachmann Spectrum line with the DCC On Board feature on Tuesday 9-6-2022 !

Dash 8-has DC traction motors, yet has trucks representing AC traction.

Lol I could've used someone like you on one of my wikis a few years back. I enjoyed your sense of humor and how well documented everything was. However, I no longer regularly edit on the wikis (Locomotive Wiki and Trains And Locomotives Wiki), but I still enjoyed this video.

Correction: It was Burlington Northern Santa Fe when they merged. They changed their name in 2001 to just BNSF.

Sadly now many of the numbers BNSF 800-866(CN) will soon join there siblings in oblivion as CN has retired them and sentenced them to Scrap

[corneliusadeola]

Also ATSF 576 wrecked and scrapped in 12/14/96 in cajon pass

[_high_plains_drifter_]

Locomotive numbers 560-582 were returned to the lessor
563 and 570 are the only 2 remaining B40-8s left on the roster

Awesome video I really love this series and I can’t wait to see what it brings I have really loved -8s for a while now and my favourite engines are standard cab C40-8s thank you for sharing!

[randallellison]

Enjoyed the video! The B40-8Ws still show up from time to time on the Thayer Sub (Springfield, MO to Memphis, TN ex-Frisco mainline) on BNSF trains. One Dash 7 you omitted at the beginning of the video was the C36-7 which are very cool locomotives in their own right. Also enjoyed the funny bits you added there to. For a minute there I thought you were going to pull a Masakox and yell UNSUBSCRIBE, lol! Can't wait for the GP60 video! Subscribed to your channel too!

2:39 “Thanks Captain Obvious
Probably the best line in the video

[AlikStansberry]

We now have a B40-8W in preservation! BNSF donated 537 to the railroading heritage of Midwest America museum.
I hope a C40 variant from BNSF will meet the same fate.

6:56 Those were at my local railyard Murray Yard. Seen them before. They were recently hauled off.

I am honored to these beauties on CN, some with RS3L, some with P5.
