One time, I was coming down Austin Rd, headed towards Helena and the road crosses left over the tracks. I'd just gone over the tracks and I looked over and 4 seconds later a big freight came slamming across that crossing! No horns, nothing! God was my co-pilot that afternoon!

FEMA has been an impotent agency for years. People should have learned this from Katrina. It is a bunch of employees that one to be the ones who run the government but do none of their actual job.

😂😊

How many cars?

Montana rail link is my favorite brand I'm sad and angry because it went away

Do you know where the double track ends and where the defect detector is?

Look like SD 70 ACEs. 4400 hp each train consist 128 cars average weight. 140 total of just under 18000 tons Heavy even with 8 locos

what state is this?

This unit was spotted in Galesburg IL very recently. It's unknown where it's going, but man it was a surprise when it popped up in the yard.

I’d like to get a scanner for listening to locomotive-talk - there’s a train tunnel about 200 yards from where I live, and I commonly hear the rumble and roar of trains.

And the classiest MRL tribute loco!

Easy fun to be able to get that off the front porch!

That IS a cool catch!

That's an old unit there.

Hope she’s not going to be scrapped ☹️

Wie lang ist dieser Zug?

i always loved EMDs love that last helper i used to hear them pass here for miles going up donner when the climate was cooler thanks for sharing

Railfanning across state lines,love it.

I think I saw the train that had those helpers

I dont get the opportunity to see them very often

As the train passes the signal either your camera angle or my eye sees the train going down hill.

Those lead units are GE I think are ACE 44’s the MRL are also Ge as is back pushing unit.

I was wondering why there was a surplus of SD70MACs building up in Helena

I thought the BNSF took over all MRL tracks!!

I don't understand why this video has 7 views and 0 likes (I subscribed and liked the video)

Had BNSF swapped out all the former MRL helper sets?

That took some big cajones standing close to that train while she was getting backed down to go forward again

Been seeing them older motives alot here lately, they pulling old power out the weeds?

Just a question why don’t they have any as dpu’s in the middle?

列車の編成が先頭から最後尾まで、ワンフレームに収まる、とても素晴らしい映像です。

We were there 4 days before you, and at that time MOW was working between Blossburg and Skyline.

Excellent catch Austin. Great video

holy zoom

Lugar muito bonito Mullan Pass

fab 4 engines pulling

Nothing like a stiff 2.2%, 15+ mile grade to bring a whopping eight EMDS down to their knees on a coal drag! Looks like that second unit blew a turbocharger and subsequently didn’t get a needed bath afterwards!

BNSF conveniently has the access road posted for No Trespassing. 😢😢😢

So little knowledge but so many that seem to have so many suggestions. . . . 😂

Too much tractive effort behind empty cars can easily wad them up and make a real mess.

That’s a big train ❤️❤️👍👍👍🦘🇦🇺

When it said only MRL 4300 was online that was good recipe for a runaway

BNSF ugly train's

brilliant.

I think it would be fun if we got together this winter and a shoot together, a montana KZbin co-op if ya will.looks like ya hit the monitze milestone congratulations!

What I took away from this video is don’t get caught on a snowy hill with 4 dash 9’s blowing smoke 💨 and no EMD Mac or ace on the headend or somebody’s gonna be walking. I woulda just cranked the 5 emd helpers up and made that consist snatch a wheelie over that hill and stop jerking around using one damn loco helper on the rear when there’s 5 connected. But that’s just me lol

Glad to see you are still out there catching them!

I swear this is not a live video of me trying to start a heavy train on a grade in Run 8!

Howling emds

All emd power powerful

That was a nice spot! And even a horn salute to you!
