Great video!

Some good drone video ! Thanks for posting!

[@ChainsawNW1218]

Nice footage and power move!🛤🚂

[@1361057]

I’m thinking these shots are a bit old thru Dressler … but/c the old station is still there. Great shots that cannot be replicated.

[@vehicles_n_stuff]

These shots are a decade old, shot in 2014.

[@1361057]

That explains that. I da never would have known that except we saw them tear the old station down on VR not too long ago. Thx.

I love the Citirail ES44ACs. Too bad they are all owned by CN now, except for two that were wrecked and scrapped. The Citirail scheme actually would have made a great modern scheme for a surviving and expanded Delaware and Hudson RR if it was still around. Thank God for model railroading, I can have Santa Fe warbonnet ES44ACs and ET44ACs, and have D&H units of the same type running through!

[@kristoffermangila]

Model railroading is a great vehicle to do the fantasy liveries of not just locomotives but railcars too. Imagine a modern grain car but in the China Red colors of the CB&Q, for example.

[@mmi16]

Suspect the CITX locomotives are moving on Waybills as 'Freight' with charges being assessed to the consignee. CSX Train Handling Rules require DIT (dead in tow) to be handled in the locomotive consist, not in the body of the train.

[@kneemeister]

I remember that afternoon, it was a great chase.

[@mulatnochannel]

Crazy Train, good, I like your video 👍❤

[@robertmason7553]

Called a power move I believe. They come through Nebraska like BNSF with 7 engines and 50 cars.

[@Lonewolf-allthewayUP]

I call it that too. I live in Louisiana by Union Pacific lines and it be trains with 7 to 9 or 10 locomotives with 50-to-60 freight cars.

[@robertmason7553]

@@Lonewolf-allthewayUP Just saw one yesterday with 25 mixed freight and nine engines heading back west. Many more trains heading east than west but its almost like three trains go east and one comes west wit the engines that were going east but its 6 or 8 engines.

[@Lonewolf-allthewayUP]

@robertmason7553 That part.

[@joseph_b319]

Cool the last train was heading to my hometown of South Philly.

[@billmorris2613]

My biggest consist was 16 locomotives. All between 3,000 to 2,000 horsepower. With all of them online. The train was only 65 cars.

[@Thatmanrailfan]

Talk about overkill! When was this, if you don't mind my asking?

[@carmenfoote7999]

Twelve engines on one train, eight of them belonging to Citirail. Impressive plus all those covered hoppers. Nice way to end video with BNSF tank train. Joe S

[@michiganrailfan2141]

I wish I could go back in time to get video of some of the trains I saw when I was younger. About 25 years ago, my dad and I went to Fostoria, OH for a day and caught an NS train transporting 12 brand new CP AC44000s fresh out of the paint shop. I have some pictures of them but would have loved to have high quality video.

[@reinaldosouza262]

É muito bom de ver essas grandes máquinas em ação!🇧🇷🙌

[@ronz101]

They move em' where they need em'. 🎉

[@monmixer]

12 locomotives is a train in itself.

[@davidbrown4823]

Years ago I saw CN in bound with 2 M-630's and 4 RS-10's hauling one boxcar and caboose. return freight was longer.

[@monmixer]

@@davidbrown4823 I'm sure if they were taking all of those to waiting cars it would be a very long train. I love trains. Just semi retired and thinking about doing a DCC model train lay out.

Thank you for reissuing this video from 2014 from one of your trips to the Deshler, Ohio area with a new voice over, Drayton! I do not remember if I viewed a previous version of this video. I did enjoy watching the trains that are in this video. The Q393 train must have picked up those new CitiRail lease units somewhere to take them to a location where they will await their assignments with various railroads. Do you know if the CitiRail units were picked up in Erie, Pennsylvania from the GE plant? (_Posted 14 July 2024 at 2040 CDT.)

[@DelayInBlockProductions]

They were picked up from GE in Erie. I believe all of these units are now on CN.

[@billclements3879]

Wry nice video

[@kraz904]

They do look pretty when they’re new…

[@joshthetrainfan]

[@davidbrown4823]

Being 2024, how many of the CITIRAIL units became CN?

[@LiamFire17B-R-qz2xr]

For a second I thought Citirail was coming back…..only to jump into the description and find out that the video was taken in 2014 and was reuploaded.

[@idlecrafter]

Imaginge the time it took to make this consist... 😳

[@FXE4119]

Weren't those already owned by CN?

[@arthurschipper8906]

Did BNSF have a name for that cream and white livery? I always liked it and you don't see that many out there anymore.

[@arthurschipper8906]

Sorry, should have said cream and green

[@shakycameratheater]

So somehow the pulling power of all locomotives are added together. That was some progressive forward thinking To combat the reduced pulling power from environment -friendly locomotives, you must pull train cars with more than one locomotive.

[@dougblome9409]

how many cars was the12 locomotive train pulling

[@LeitoCristofoli9022]

FANTASTIC, FANTASTIC video my good and dear friend, it really is fantastic 🤩🤩🤩🤩. Like 863 👍!!!!!!

[@only-uz8qf]

Let's go to other countries 😂 WHAT!! I saw the train longer than this but with 4-engine

[@robertboykin1828]

I wonder how they work out where the heavy ones go, and light ones go.

[@Jeff-fx1zy]

SantaFe used to have power imbalances, and theyd send as many as 20 units on an e/b pig train to Chicago. Sometimes b/4 1984 theyd do it as a cabhop, with a caboose,(waycar) for you SantaFe purists.

[@RaulGonzalez-jg8ks]

En la madre cuantos vagones lleva? Para llevar 12 makinas.

[@ihavetwofaces]

Why would they have all 12 at the head? That would mean that the weight of the entire consist would be down to the coupler between the last loco and the first car. Isn't it more common to distribute them to the middle and rear of the consist so that the strain is distributed?

[@haroldreardon8070]

NOT a 'crazy' train, that would be quite impossible. Nothing more than new locomotives being delivered - many years ago.

[@TheMetGuy]

Great lashup! CITIRAIL is now owned by Canadian National

[@josiaswattrelos]

Ahead. Just 3 power locomotive and 9 loco for delivery.

[@Terraceview]

It almost looks wrong.

[@nightlightabcd]

When I was a very young lad, I used to see these trains with several steam engines with rather small trains. I remember one where they must have been about twenty of these engines. I founds out much later they they were actually being pulled to the scrap yards!

[@dubsguy115]

I think the train has 12 locomotives because it is in Ohio😂😂😂😂

[@pauldavis1943]

Why didnt they have some in the middle orvat the back? Assuming there is a reason.

[@johnnisshansen]

what is the point in these long trains with several locomotives ? they must be very clumsy to handle and takes like forever to pass by.

[@Fischingstarter]
