This is probably the first and only list I've seen so far on extinct Diesel locomotives, and it included several diesels I haven't heard about. It's great for me to see a railroad youtuber giving Diesels some more love and respect. Because whenever it comes to locomotives fictional or realistic, Diesels pretty much always get trashed on compared to Steam and Electric locomotives. Great job man on giving Diesels a chance to shine.

Even though I like steam more than diesel and electric, We need to start giving classic diesels from the 1940s-1960s some praise

Partial as I am to the early diesel locomotives, I am so glad they finally get their say. It’s about time!!

About time I finally see an Extinct Diesels Video. And i'm glad to see the E2 on here.

Yeah!! My hometown fallen flag was the first featured! The Atlantic & East Carolina was based in New Bern, NC. It was also known as The Tobacco Belt Route, and The Mullet Line. Thanks.

The F3 prototype was built in 1945, but problems with the generator delayed it's production, so the F2 was produced as a stop gap utilizing the generator from the FT.

Those diesels sure were sleek looking back then just like the cars of the day. Thanks for sharing.

Nice vid. I especially liked the segment on the ALCO DL-109 The New Haven used theirs in both passenger and freight service, passenger by day and freight at night during the war. Therefore they ran the wheels off them. I haven't heard about reliability issues with them though. NH also had a fleet of switchers with that same 539 engine both turbo and N.A. Thanks again !

I loved this piece, Amazing and again thank you and now I am a subscriber thank again :-)

13:16 fun fact these Cabover locomotives would Kind off inspired GE to build the NR class here in Australia but the train is a little bit shorter in height, and Length

Something about Rugged Trains to me, they are Intimidating and Almost Scary but also Fascinating!
