A rare cab ride in RBMN F unit #270 | LGSR September 3, 2023

Absolute beautiful!!!! Well done on the video and I could listen to that horn ALL DAY!!!! Would love to take the ride!!!!!

I wish ns still had these babies. Working out of augusta and seeing the crews putting em together with the power we get isnt the same as when we had these

Awesome experience to get to ride in the Ex NS units, The F and E locomotives have always been my favorites!! Streamliners

Jamie you got the best seat in the hole train. I really enjoyed this video.

Good morning Jamie. I got my coffee. Let's head on down the tracks!🎉 hey Jamie. I let this one play once and then went back to watch it. Got called away! Thanks for sharing friend.

Iam glad you got to ride the F unit, they are just too cool.

Beautiful day for the trip! This is a different perspective on it. Interesting to see how the trains maneuver in the station, something like planes in an airport. My favorite part was the spectacular view of the river and the bridges. Thanks for taking us along.

Hi Jaime! I remember seeing you working at the rambles that day! i was one kid with a tripod in Jim Thorpe close to the end car on 2102s Consist. I recongnized you when you and other conductors and car hosts walked to the station!

What an amazing video! I recently purchased the N scale versions of 270 and 275 from Broadway Limited complete with DCC and sound to add to my Reading and Northern inspired layout. They’re absolutely fantastic little models. To actually see the interior of the prototype is a real treat.

Having never seen the inside of one of those cabs, this was a gem. I am sure it was a dream come true for you as well🙂. You are truly becoming the ambassador for Reading & Northern.

Awesome video Jamie

Great video 😊

Handsome livery on the engine and B unit. Greetings from Port Saint Lucie, Florida. Very nice video.

Spectacular!

Those old school diesel locomotives are cool. Back in the late 1930s when they first began building diesel locomotives, that time was the beginning of the end of steam locomotives. They still continued building steam locomotives up to either the 1940s/early 1950s & it wasn't until the 1960s when nearly all steam locomotives phased out & got replaced by more diesel ones.

At 3:16 you can see the A end of the B unit. It looks like NS installed an equipment locker of some sort. 3:17 B unit electrical cabinet. Note railing for elevated walk way. 3:21 645 and Roots Blower 3:22 Underside radiator core covers. Pretty original in here all things considered. These are VERY F units still. 3:28 WOW, remnants from the old steam generator. 3:40 Begin A unit, HEP pony motor. 3:52 EMD 645, Exhaust Manifolds in top left, Radiator covers above. Still very original really in here. 3:59 Top left is blank for Dynamic Brake grid fan. Plenty of space to move the dynamic grids in here from 250 or 251. Back side of electrical cabinet. VERY nice clean install. 4:03 Cab, CCB-26 brake controller, added Dynamic Brake lever.

Thanks for sharing!

Amazing 😊

That’s so cool that you got to walk through both units! I’ve always wondered what the inside of the second unit looks like. Can’t wait to ride behind the F-Units on October 29th in the Parlor Car. Gonna be my second time riding behind them and also in the Parlor Car!

There's a lot to take in with this video. F9A with the RDC coming into the station, with the GP38-2 Gorge train coming in as well. Lots of train spotting. Awesome train spotting videos.
