Great vid. Ground must have trembled under all of that power. Just subscribved and will be back.

I wish i went out to see the Trona RR ,when they had the BALDWIN As 616 Locomotives . They had a very deep chugging sound when under a heavy load. Hopefully SMS Ind in Bridgeport ,Pa will keep them going,they love the old Baldwiins great pulling power.

The day this was recorded/posted was my last day on Oahu Hawaii. Can't decide which would be better; that or back in the right hand seat running this classic power.

[@kitchener2200]

Great video. I subscribed to your channel as well!

[@roballen5670]

Love the sound of those old EMD'S 645's.

[@erik198]

645’s are the horns?

[@roballen5670]

@erik198 645's are the Prime Mover.

[@stevejordan2840]

I went to the Trona Pinnacles last spring and hadn't realized how close to the tracks they are. I didn't see any trains. That would have been a bonus!

Love the location!!!!!!!!

[@xray606]

I don't think I've ever seen so many cars in that yard outside of town. The old SP stuff is nice, but too bad they don't paint their units anymore.

[@DomQuartuccio]

Fantastic!

I had a girlfriend that wanted to move out here from Vegas, I questioned her sanity and we broke up shortly after. My name is Bicycle Bob and I approved this message.

[@DesertGeezers]

I was born and grew up in the shadow of the Trona railroad. Thank goodness for the desert in this area. It keeps the riff raff away.

[@gemcofoamer]

this still exists???

[@RRphotographer661]

When do they commonly run up to searles jct

[@TheAProhl]

All I’ve been told is Monday-Thursday. Depart Trona mid-late afternoon. Other than that it’s a horse a piece

[@thuggoe]

this is a fun part of the drive from socal to death valley

[@Jay-vo4ec]

What's the reason behind flagging a crossing with working lights and bells?

[@TheAProhl]

@@Jay-vo4ec The lights and bells on the opposite side of street were knocked over by a vehicle

[@trcmarvinmg]

A failed suicid attempt

[@joshthetrainfan]

The units are on borrowed time now. The TRC is getting new units because of the CARB.
