12K Stack Train, 12 Locomotives

[@kelharper7971]

Really, it's more like two trains running nose to tail, with those helper units in the middle. Still way bigger than anything that ever comes past here. I am jealous of all these people with heavy-traffic rail lines near them.

[@splash5150izy]

^^^@Kel Harper .. I lived near the rail track's when I was a kid, I used to listen out for the "Big Boy" Freight train around Mid-night hauling freight from my town to Napier and then on to Wellington 500 miles South from my city .. .

[@JosephCee]

12 engines, what a sight.

[@stokerboiler]

The first train (3 up front, 2 middle DP, and 1 pusher DP) must be a yardmaster's nightmare to assemble.

NICE CATCH MAN

[@MJansen_35]

Holy crap that's a long train

[@denisetindall1487]

i like train vidoes on youtube

[@SD70E]

Nice catch and video! That was awesome to watch!

[@NVKRailVideos]

What an awesome meet! Amazing lashup on that grain train! 204 cars on the stacker

[@hambb]

I counted 213 on the stacker

[@kelharper7971]

If you counted the locomotives. I got 205 cars, plus locomotives. You did note that there were three locos in the middle and one following, right? Plus I think four in the front. Which comes to about the number you give. Locomotives don't count as cars.

Very much locomotive 😂😭

[@susanadiasjohnson457]

FASCINATING!!!! QUESTION: WHAT ARE IN THOSE CONTAINERS? ARE THE TOP LAYER CONTAINERS LESS HEAVY THAN THE BOTTOMS? MANY 2-STORY AMTRAK TRAINS HAVE TIPPED OVER IN RECENT DECADES, ESPECIALLY DURING WINTER WEATHER. IS THIS A CONCERN ON FREIGHT TRAINS? GREAT VIDEO. SUPER INTERESTING.

[@sontungle2641]

Westbound are generally loaded container bound to the LBP, LBT, LBA, LBE or Pier 300/400 but eastbound are empty container.

[@Goldarr1900]

First train: six engine 204 cars. Second train: 12 engines 91 cars, definitely not using all engines. Maybe the first convoy wasn’t using all , six engines..depends on the slopes

[@stokerboiler]

Only half (at most) of the locomotives on the second train are pulling. More than six and you break couple knuckles.

[@ancomagutanzania7068]

How much train I need to pay it

[@juliuswilson5424]

Today March 15 2021 5:15 and the one with the 12 locomotives it think pulling 91 more cart so am thinking it round out to about 3,640,000 to 5,642,000 pounds 1,820 to 2,821 tons just asking

[@juliuswilson5424]

It think that train was pulling 327 cart so thinking it pulling 13,080,000 to 20,214,000 pound that 6,540 to ,10,107 tons

[@johngriffin6881]

I counted six engines not 12 ....?

[@passingdrill4942]

Wait for the 2nd train

[@Johnsmith-zi9pu]

How many Locos???

[@monsterman529]

Very cool! What time did you see that manifest? And did you see it today?

+monsterman529 I saw it in the late afternoon of the 4th.

No JB Hunt? Must’ve been a while back

It's a train to the LA/Long Beach ports. Those don't carry JB Hunt.

Is that length of train typical for a BNSF intermodal?

[@TrainVidsWithTom]

It's not typical, but that length does run several times per week each way.

Well for BNSF they run 12.000, 14.500, 15.000 and 16.000 ft intermodal train depends.

American freight trains are longest that Japanese freight trains and can transportation is many cargos. American freight trains are king of the American logistics and cargo transportation.
