Are you railfanning the Wayzata sub at all today? Amtrak 8 is on the sub, and it looks like at least one z train is lined up to head west.

How did you get ahead to catch it so often? I see me pulling up in my blue pickup at 5:15. Chased it from Valley City to Enderlin. Great video.
@ahtrains3 ай бұрын
I really expected to catch it only 4 times from Minot to Glenwood, thinking they would be flying down the main. They were only doing about 40 most of the way. I was in no desire to break as many road laws as some others were doing during the chase. I’m sure you noticed doing your chase. The road layout and railine don’t parallel the tracks so going from Valley city to Enderlin is an unfortunate section.

Nah, this trains speed is good enough. Remember, this is a nearly century-old locomotive, and running it as if it were fresh off the factory will bring unnecessary wear and tear on components - and there's not enough spare parts to go around.

That's what a real steam whistle sounds like. Having grown up in Calgary, I have heard it several times on the steam train that operates at Heritage Park. It only sounds unnatural if you're used to the air horns that they use on diesel units.
@VirgotheDrusky3 ай бұрын
@@bartwentink2189 i know what a real one sounds like. its just the fact that theyre using a push button to operate it like a diesel horn rather than the way a steam whistle is traditionally operated that makes it sound so unnatural. I'm use to hearing a little slide into the notes that the whistle plays because of pulling the whstle cord.
@iangraham68873 ай бұрын
@@VirgotheDrusky 2816 has two whitsles, the original is a 6 chime located in front of the cab and pull operated but is too quiet to pass regulations for use in most provinces of canada and some states in the usa. so they use a newer but still quite old button operated steam whistle that is 2x as loud as the older one for basic rail use. There are vids on youtube where you can hear the 6 chime blasting as it passes by and it is majestic.

Saint Paul turn is the easiest one to catch. Be somewhere around Minneapolis or St Paul it’s typically eastbound at 0900 and westbound around 1400-1600. If you want to see the Glencoe turn. Best bet is sit at Hopkins at around 1700-1800 and wait for them to get the crew and then chase until sunset. 30mph track. Runs everyday except holidays and Sundays for the most part
