Description: Back in March 2009, I chased this H31 local working the GAF-Elk shingle plant and Lebanon Seaboard Corporation with a High Hood SD40-2 and SD60. Both of these EMD locomotives were set up for long hood forward operation at the time. The 3201 has since had its nose chopped and the cab-end designated as the front. NS 6608 was rebuilt into SD60E 7006 in June 2015.

I had previously uploaded these videos, but the quality was bad from the old editor so I remastered them into the original 1080p format and cleaned them up a bit. I could listen to these EMD idle and throttle noises all day. I do miss the former Southern high nose SD40-2's being a common sight, but there are still 10 former Norfolk & Western high nose SD40-2's running today (none in this area). Thanks for watching!
