AWESOME!!!! 4 NS Trains Meet at the Horseshoe Curve (Mayhem Of Trains)

Recorded on July 27 2019 the day after the Horseshoe Curve derailment
First a very loud, slow, long, and heavy monster mixed freight 39G crawls up through the steep grade with 3 units all notched out and lots of gravel cars all loaded and with the assist of 2 helpers still only manages to only reach about 10 MPH. As the train ends through the curve another monster mixed freight 10K rounds the curve with DPU's including the Erie heritage unit and a set of helpers. As the DPU's pass by the approach of a slow, and long westbound stack train 25Z starts to round the curve with no rear end helpers. As the stack train still passes by after 10K ends the curve Amtrak is right behind the 10K moving slowly on track 1, after Amtrak and 25Z pass through the curve ends the Mayhem Of Trains. This had to have been the highlight of the weekend seeing 4 trains one after another in 30 minutes. This video can also be nicknamed the MAYHEM OF TRAINS. Hope You Enjoy!!
Trains include 39G, 10K, 25Z, and Amtrak 04T

Awesome video mate! You even captured a NS Heritage unit, ballast cars AND Amtrak. I say, surely nothing beats this level of awesomeness. Well done!

Even had a CR England landscape container.

I'm from Armstrong county PA....and I love listening to the radio traffic. And those operators totally have the Pittsburgh accent.

Hi RR, I had forgotten about this fantastic video until someone just answered my original comment. Hard to believe the derailment was cleaned up so quickly. The whole episode captured my attention for a couple days. I so love trains!

[@chrisbailey9331]

Absolutely brilliant video thanks for posting 👍🏻😁

[@truckinpoppop6777]

Very cool! I hope to visit “the curve” someday.

[@johnmilliard2696]

Glad they cleared all the underbrush back. Much better now.

[@davidztog9011]

Outstanding catch... Right place at the right time! How many cars made up the consist on the first train? Bonus having Amtrak pass on the inside track. Love the natural sound of steel on steel. Haven't been to the Horseshoe. It must have been awesome being there at that moment. Thanks for sharing. 👍👍👍

[@Cougelly1999]

Wow, this was great! I counted 4 engines, then 180 cars, and two more engines at the end on the first train alone! Is that possible? Thank you Randall!

[@Gizmologist1]

DEFINITELY need to install some curved track greasers or refill any that are there already.

[@clineshaunt]

I've been there once and sometimes I had to cover my ears because the squeaking was ear piercing.

[@wallacemcnack5190]

Wow! Awesome job. 👌

[@NS8098Railfan]

Saw the same train with NS 1068 in Robesonia, PA!

[@jlet4ever]

What would be so Interesting is if a person could know the value of these trains. The total weight and such. Did 400B just rolls by? Wish we could know.

[@Cornelu]

Awesome!

[@danbuter]

Neat video. I'd need ear plugs if I was there. I really wish people wouldn't tag all of the cars with crap graffitti.

Rockin Randall7788 Really no need to falsely label a video that train enthusiasts would watch anyway. Where did I indicate any dislike for the actual content of the video.? Sheesh what a grouch.

My only question is how many cars on that first train? Had to be at least 150. Longest train I've ever seen. I'd hate to be at a crossroad! I'll bet they had to double up after the derailment.
