Fast Freight Trains in the Desert

[@lukesanchez9961]

These machines never fail to strike a sense of fear and respect into me as I see them moving down the track, especially so swiftly. The amount of mass & momentum behind them is staggering

[@railfan509]

I agree. Like you said, it is amazing of all of the momentum that is behind it, especially when it is going faster speeds.

[@ronaldstokes4841]

@@railfan509 I always think of the accuracy of the wheels on each car that keep the damn things on the track and the factories that cast them. The pounding the tracks take. The engineering that keeps the tracks in place without drilling to bedrock. I believe railroads are one of the most important inventions of Man. I love them.

[@railfan509]

@@ronaldstokes4841 Me too. I agree 👍

I love how the train looks in this desert landscape!

Thanks!!!

[@jayden06dml86]

amazes me how it looks like its moving slow from so far away but in reality its flying down the rails

[@railfan509]

I know right? It's also fascinating how that much weight can move that fast.

@Ronald Stokes Yes, that's exactly what it is.

@@railfan509 Being a fan of ancient alien theory, I can imagine how people once thought that anything that flew and breathed fire was a dragon. Watching this train approach with a caveman mentality it DOES seem like an approaching dragon. There's something ominous yet majestic about a train.

The two were big interamodel transfer the third was a massive coal transfer great video to watch as always love those Burlington and union Pacific trains thanks

You're welcome. I'm glad you liked the video.

Wow! A five-header coal train! That's POWER!!!

Wow, flying!! It amazes me that these can get so fast without a DPU mixed in.

They come up on you fast ,and if your walking in front of them on the tracks but facing away from them approaching , you cant hear them , I think because the sound is beside them and behind them .We almost got nailed one night ,Like drunken fools we were walking home from the bar on the tracks. Train came around the corner about an 1/8 th of a mile behind us ,we seen the headlight ,heard him lay on his horn and we jumped into the ditch,We couldnt hear him approaching because the waves on Lake Superior were splashing against the shore rocks.After we jumped it seemed like it was on us in about 30 seconds, he had to be going at least 50 m.p.h. Scary night.

[@railfan509]

Wow that is scary 😨. Glad you're ok and alive.

[@charles.j.mandon5602]

@@railfan509 Good Video by the way ,We were lucky ,I never took that chance again, This video really shows how it looks like they are hardly moving until they get close ,Its deceiving , it must happen like that at the crossing mishaps also a lot of the time.

[@railfan509]

Yeah probably. Thanks for the support too by the way

Any time you see long trains moving fast and often means America is getting something done. 😉🇺🇸

American freight railroads are very longest, and there freight trains are very longest too.

You’re welcome! I think you will enjoy my trains from the southeast(Tennessee).

[@勝又祐介]

American freight railroads are very longest. But, Japanese freight railroads are very shortest. American freight railway companies are largest scales and maniest of transportation cargos. American freight railway companies's diesel locomotives are largest and tough and powerful and strongest and highest horsepowers and can pull to very and ultra longest freight trains. American freight railway companies's freight cars are highest capacitiy and can transportation to maniest cargos.

[@emilywalls4264]

My question is, what would somebody be doing all the way in the desert?

[@railfan509]

Out in the desert, the trains go 70 MPH in most spots, so I wanted to get some videos of 70 MPH freight trains.

[@californiaslastgasp6847]

@@railfan509 Where did you take this video? My guess is between Apple Valley and Needles.

[@railfan509]

Yeah it is by needles. I don't remember exactly now

No, but it is close. This is in California on the Needles Subdivision.

2nd train = 190 containers..

[@railfan509]

Wow, surprised someone counted them. Thanks for watching.

[@timbarnes2259]

It would take two miles of track to stop these.. Who checks all of those wheels.. A few of them sound as though they have flat spots.. Crazy Length Trains..

[@railfan509]

Wow, that's a lot of track. It makes sense though since it is going 70 MPH and is about 2K tons. Thanks for watching.

[@charliebrooks2570]

Are they going about 70?

[@railfan509]

The first three were. The fourth one was probably 55-60 Mph

[@brucejackson1153]

Soon as they hit the desert they let them trains fly

[@railfan509]

Indeed they do.

[@richharris9489]

Dude where is this ?

It is in the Mojave Desert. It is about 3 hours from Las Vegas.

u reckon this is a 70 mph zone?

Yeah it probably is

[@勝又祐介]

Widest desert, longest rail, and, longest freight trains. Can these longest freight trains are can transportation to maniest cargos and charpest of transportation costs and littlest of greenhouse gas.

[@railfan509]

Yes they are the most efficient way of transporting cargo.

And safest and use the least manpower and the least real estate. Unless you’re Amazon, ship it by rail!

[@dianaofburlington5172]

Fortunately Japan is a smaller country geographically. These trains have multi-day runs of 1000 miles and more - gotta get that stuff where it’s going FAST. Easier to run multiple locomotives than it is to separate into separate trains or give it all to the truckers who have plenty to do as it is. Thank God for railroads.

These llongest freight trains are lleader of cargo trtransportation in UUnited States of America. Because, they are can trtransportation to maniest cargos by littlest crews than trucks and semi-trailers and jumbojet freighters, and chacharpest of ttransportation costs, and llittlest of greenhouse gas. Japanese leader of cargo transportation is trucks. Because, Japanese JR Freight's freight trains are can't transportation to maniest cargos and shortest and losing to trucks and cargo ships.
