Well, even though it never pulled The Crescent, what a great old faithful S-2. Maybe some sanitary disposal or metals recycling company will have a need for it......... Thank you for the video.

Very cool! Some prototype roads still have AlCOs. Was up in NE PA/ Scranton area few months back a saw the Delaware & Lackawanna units. Always look forward to seeing your videos.

Thanks Denny! Yes, nothing better than a smooth running locomotive. I’ve had the S2 since the 1980s and it still runs great. But my favorite switcher is the Atlas MP15DC. It runs excellent and is such a blast to switch with.

Enjoyed that switching job! Neat place on the railroad! Makes sense that the Alco will be replaced.

Thanks Nick! The old ALCO will end up going to the Southern States Facility at some point in the future. But it is time for ADM to modernize!

Do you run the switchers a bit faster during filming to save time, but slower (even safety stops) when not filming? When the remote unit comes in, any idea how often the engineer will be riding vs walking? I'd ride if I had to throw a switch 500 feet away. Hope there will be an appropriate ceremony when the locos are swapped. ADM is a superb switching site. Always learn something.

Thanks! When the engine is light, I’ll move it a little faster just like the prototype. Once you couple to a cut of cars I try to simulate the tonnage effect by taking a little longer to get up to speed. I will do a special video of train L83 moving the 150 to ADM. I’ll also do a video on Remote Control Operations that should answer your questions. I might even make it next week’s video. Stay tuned!

The old safety saying was "No More Than Four", which meant 4 MPH. It lessened damages caused by hard couplings.

Thomas: Do switchers, or any other type of loco, hit the cars that hard in real life when coupling? In your videos it seems like they're being smacked backwards a few scale feet. Just curious, as it's been years since I last saw trains coupling; and it wasn't closeup, and all I can remember is hearing a metallic bang.

nice vid... cool looking ALCO... so how much is ADM saving by doing their own switching vs having S.C. do it for them?

Doing in house switching or having a contractor do it saves a lot versus the railroad charging in plant switch charges.
