I'm in Florida and am wondering why there was not much traffic on the UP side? Are they using a different route? Enjoyed the video immensely...thanks!

+Steve Auld Glad you enjoyed the video! Union Pacific typically has a much lower traffic density than BNSF in this area, which explains why they have a single main track railroad through the area while the BNSF has a three main track line.

I have read and heard that the roads to Silverwood and hill 582 are easily accessible. is that true? And I have heard and read you are required to have something from forestry in your window of your cars. is that also true

+Kirk Lonnquist The roads can be a tossup. The most recent time that I visited these spots was a couple weeks ago, and the roads were passable for my sedan, however, they are becoming badly rutted in some spots. I would imagine that they will only get worse with the rains this winter unless somebody does some re-grading. As for access, you do not need a forestry access pass to get to these spots.

Excellent video, I have enjoyed watching it!Question: You have indicated a slow order might have been in place on that day. What is the maximum authorized speed on that sector? Also, more general (as I not from the US) I have read the California High Speed Rail has been approved and will be built. Will they cross the mountain range north of L.A. region through the Cajon Pass when building the tracks northbound? I can't figure high-speed passenger trains on tracks that full of freight traffic. Also here in Europa they have avoided steep grades when they built the high-speed corridors.

+OldSchool1500 Good questions. If I remember correctly, BNSF actually has different timetable maximum authorized track speeds through this area depending on whether you are going uphill or downhill. I believe that it is 25 MPH for downhill freight trains and 35 MPH for uphill freight trains (very unusual for them to actually achieve that speed). The California High Speed Rail is off to a rocky start with a hefty price tag and lots of opposition. It is currently under construction on the flat, easy segment through the California Central Valley. I think they intent to get from the central valley to the Los Angeles Basin via Tehachapi Pass and the San Gabriel Mountains.

What's your camera/video gear you use to record these videos? I have a Sony a6300 and thinking about getting a Sony AX53 camcorder

We need more rail in this country. Think about how much traffic would disappear if more of those trailers traveled long-distance by rail as you see in this video.

I think the trailer on flatcar service is a boon to modern rail freight.

Great video. Only comment is that I would like to see the complete train (s). I know the video would be much longer, but.... BR Adam / DK

+FlyToChina0071 Hi Adam, thanks for the comment. The reason that I decided to truncate many of the passing trains (particularly the intermodal trains) is that I have received many comments over the years from people complaining that watching an entire train of the same type of cars passing gets boring. In fact, I found that I was getting bored watching my own videos, hence I attempted to shorten the videos down to the most interesting parts.
@FlyToChina00719 жыл бұрын
+Locomotive450 OK, I understand that, but here in Denmark our trains are very short, say max. 20 - 30 cars. So I like watch / count the number of cars on your trains. Also I like the large diesel engines at the front and sometimes also in the middle and the at the back. Keep them coming :-)

+Locomotive450 Good stuff, keep it up
@cerealspiller8 жыл бұрын
+Locomotive450 My 2 cents. It does indeed make for long videos when you include the entire train, but it is easy enough for the viewer to skip forward to speed things up if he/she doesn't wish to enjoy the entire string. Doesn't solve your problem of you being bored watching your own videos though :-). Thanks again for the great videos.

can you put in more manifest trains please?
@Locomotive4509 жыл бұрын
+Trainfan 3219 I certainly wish that I could control which trains run on the railway, but I can't. You are seeing 100% of the trains that I saw that day.

ok I just suggested that because stack trains are boring
