Hi. A question here. I was a steam locomotive driver on the SAR in South Africa years ago hence my love for trains and my fascination for the American diesel locos. i see on your long bulk trains you have locos in the middle of the train and also at the back some times. Who controls them? The engineer from the front via radio control or has each unit got its own engineer under supervision of the front engineer?

1:17 Those signals in the distance are very old. The gateless crossing has gates behind it and used to have 8 inch lights, but now has LEDs. They got their electronic bells in 2000 or 2001.

How are you able to track the trains and know which ones are coming
@mbmars01Ай бұрын
Most of the time specific information is sparse; part of the excitement is to visit a rail line and not to know what to expect. However, even freight trains follow some sort of schedule and after a while one has a feeling for which trains could be expected to show up at certain times.

Great Video, your catches are one of the things that led to me making my own channel! One odd thing I did notice was that the S806 Military Train never had his head lights on, and he only had his ditch lights on when he was sounding the horn!
@mbmars01Ай бұрын
Cool, glad I helped inspire your own channel. Yeah, the lights were off all the time. I think the flashing ditch lights come on automatically when the horn is blown.

Well, it's good video creators have different styles viewers can choose from and watch what they like most. Narration can be useful to add historic background or a story, but that's not really the case here. I can get away with just the minimal information. Sometimes, annotations can also help provide additional context. Great you like this style. Keep watching :)

It's good to see you are back, we all missed your uploads. CSX 3194 is always a welcome sight, she's one of the most beautiful locomotives in their fleet. I guess traffic is much smaller on this line than years ago and you simply can't film anything for us. But at least the trains in this video are cool. It's interesting that the two upper lights on the military train's locomotive are out and only the ditchlights are working. Very nice footage, thanks for the entertainment.
@mbmars012 ай бұрын
Hey there! Thanks for your nice words. Both #911 and #3194 are certainly my favorites among the special-themed CSX units. I should have gotten HO models of them when they made them recently, but I missed that. Yeah, traffic levels are rather low and I do not even live close enough to this line to give it occasional blind shots not knowing whether or not there will be anything rolling. I simply don't want to waste time. But I'm sure there will be more videos in the future. Glad you enjoyed this one, too.
