One of the best train videos available, and I have watched hundreds. Thank you for sharing 👍🏼

Glenwood Canyon is one of the most beautiful places in the US. I want my ashes scattered there when my time is up . Excellent video, such a scenic route. That's what I call a serious train, I didn't even try to count all the cars. Guessing around 120-150 ??? Thanks for sharing this video.🚂🚃🚃🚃

This may be a long train, but it is made to look puny by the surrounding terrain.

Beautiful scenery!

[@johncamp2567]

Stunning!

De Beque is pronounced de-beck by the locals in the area, that's where I grew up.

6:00 9:22 What a stunningly beautiful landscape. Thanks for sharing! Does anyone know the purpose of having a single hopper car placed at the front and rear of the tankers?

[@RoamingRailfan]

Regulations require railroads to have a buffer car between the locomotives and tank cars as a level of protection for the engine crews should something go wrong. They are typically loaded with sand, rock, etc so they can be considered loaded for train composition and protective purposes but they aren’t revenue loads.

Love the scenery! When they have DPUs at the end of the train do they have to crew one of them in case the remote control fails?

[@RoamingRailfan]

No crews in the DPUs

just found your channel and subscribed, very nice drone action, is the drone able to capture the sounds of the train & highway it is that captured by another camera on the ground? also is the line UP’s or BNSF’s with the other company using trackage rights? thanks

[@RoamingRailfan]

It's a separate camera I use strictly for audio. Line is owned by UP with BNSF having trackage rights.
