This was one of 3 Progress Rail PR43C locomotives, rebuilt from old EMD SD50s. This specific locomotive started life as Norfolk Southern 6525, built 7/84 by the Electro Motive Division of General Motors. Originally this had a 3500 hp V16 16-645F3 engine. After conversion it had Caterpillar C175 and C18 engines totaling 4300 hp.

R.I.P to that NS rebuild SD50

Wow! There’s some thick steel on trains.
-
I’d like the control box, switches, etc. It would make a great experience in a children’s museum.
-
Big claws and fiery torches! Great vid!!
-
Closest youll ever get to seeing a bathroom get cleaned on a NS engine.

scrapping trains is murder

Absolutely awesome to watch. Love to see more of these

Great video. I've been around railroads and locomotives my whole life. This gave some incredible views of components that are usually difficult to see because of there placement in relationship to other things. I would have loved to see a video of when the owner started removing usable parts., and when they took the axles/trucks out. I hated to see the locomotive get cut up but it was a great video.

Worked at midwest steel and alloy youngstown oh. late 80's. Pulled battery's,prime mover,generator,air compressor,oiling rack,fuel tank 2 a day. Burning line had 4 burners cutting locomotives. Day and a half to cut 1 loco per burner,no shear track help,crawler track crane with magnet.

I first remember seeing some locomotive frames being scrapped in the 1970s @ McCook IL but they were smaller and had a lot more rust. Because of the thickness and the effort and even the cost sometimes you'll see old cranes and Earth Movers sit for years and years. Thanks for the comprehensive look at how this is done

Super cool!!! Thanks for sharing dude!

In the UK there is a company when scrapping Locomotives cuts out the numbers on the side of the Loco's, If you want you can buy this panel for the Scrap cost Price of the metal holding the number & use the panel for your Man Cave/Garage Wall.

Love the video, keep them coming
-
Ive heard a locomotive intact is around 200 tons give or take.
-
That loco was built like a battleship!!!😮
-
do you have the number boards for this unit still? i would be interested in buying one or both of them off you if you still have them

We did complete locomotive and tank car demo, motors and all. Was using a Volvo 380 with a claw. The electric motor and combustion engine gave us a run for our money. Close to 46k lbs each. Even with a big machine it’s very awkward to handle that weight. I’ve got picture if you’d want to see
