Wow never in my lifetime have I seen any train that long and heavy, good work WWOT. Those 4 DPUs were really working hard. They were really down on their knees. Especially the ACE on the rear. I never would have thought it possible to run a train that big, just amazing. Thanks, & DPU alright ! 🚂👍🏼👍🏼😱

Giant train Alright!

[@jtrojan]

A great way to kick off today's video with a mega train; 3 miles long, 300 cars, 4 DPU's and it's a NS train to boot. How long has it been since we have seen something like that from NS!!!?? I think the Wide World of Trains car is making the rounds in the North East. Maybe we will see a Jaw Tooth or Kansas Missouri Rail Fan car some day.

[@mrfingerlakes8735]

FGLKs Railway had a train with 228 axles

[@deanstrand4260]

A car for JawTooth and another one for Hobo Shoestring. They certainly have earned their railfanning chops, too.

[@prosnipehunter1493]

I Was the conductor on that W10, it had 252 cars. It was just shy of 36,000 tons. Biggest train I've ever been on. It was only 2½ miles long. Thats really big for a bulk commodity train.

[@quan2131]

I counted (twice to make sure); It was 252 cars

[@alwhalen3488]

At about 140 tons/car that would be about right. The maximum weight per car is 143 tons (286,000 lbs) on our current mainline freight system.

[@vincentlan3905]

Wow that's unbelievable 300 cars 6 Engines 4 DPU's thanks for that video

[@AlikStansberry]

That first train was massive! So many cars and pulling power and 4 DPU’s!

[@kevins1114]

In the first train, I counted 250 of those sand cars. That's still well over three miles long. The six engines account for nearly 1/10th of a mile in the total length.

[@karl1137]

I counted 256 cars and 6 locomotives

Oh boy a 300 car train with 4 DPU ALRIGHTS UP units at that with NS AC44C6M and NS ES44AC GEVO leading the head end and 2 UP units mid DPU and 2 more UP units at the tail end of the train.

[@anthonywarrener1881]

Thank you for a great video ! I thoroughly enjoyed the car chase of the NS train with 6 locomotives . Delighted to see you back trackside, and trust you are now fully recovered. Very best wishes.

[@WideWorldofTrains]

Many thanks!

[@rodgerespy1365]

That's TWO trains being run by ONE crew folks!!!

[@frankmarkovcijr5459]

One time on one of my mom's trips to Florida we were on our way home and we stopped at a railroad crossing and when I saw there were five high-powered locomotives on the head end I told her shut the car off Mom we're going to be here for a while. We sat there 15 minutes and I counted the cars and it was 275 cars. Of course it was the hold for tonnage people who destroyed the service the railroads were famous for. Short lines always gave great service because that's all they had to offer. The Long Island Railroad handled 8000 freightcar loads a year until they sold it to New York and Atlantic. The transit authority was used to the 8,000 carloads the Long Island wood handle. The New York and Atlantic gave such great service to their shippers that their carloads went to 37,000 per year. The transit authority was not used to having so much Freight traffic. When you give good service to your shipper your business increases, they had one shipper who said I called them up to say my car was empty come get it and within our they came and got it. Now that's good customer service.

0:54 We are at the Norfolk Southern Middle Road crossing on 30 April 2022. We on the south side of the tracks looking at Progress Drive as the gates start to lower. At 1:02 we hear the horn of an approaching Norfolk Southern train. At 1:09 you show us Norfolk Southern train #W10 approaching from the west. This is an extra version of Norfolk Southern train #310 from Elkhart, Indiana to Binghamton, New York. This is a 39, 000 ton train with close to 300 two-bay covered hopper cars loaded with frac sand for the fracing wells in Pennsylvania. At 1:21 train #W10 hit Middle Road. At 3:49 two Union Pacific mid-train DPUs appear in the train. At 5:43 we see two Union Pacific end of train DPUs. At 5:51 Norfolk Siuthern train #W10 finishes crossing Middle Road. At 5:56 the gates go up and you proceed across the Norfolk Southern tracks and turn right onto Progress Drive. You follow the end of train DPUs to the place were Werle Road crosses the Norfolk Southern tracks and where Werle Road joins Progress Drive. At this point Werle Road continues east parallel to the Norfolk Southern tracks and Progress Drive ends. After you cross where Werle Road proceeds east, you turn off the camcorder and speed up to the next crossroad which is Newell Road, At Newell Road you stop, get out of the car and turn the camcorder back on to record the rest of Norfolk Southern train #W10 as it passes Newell Road. At 9:32 Norfolk Southern train #W10 finishes crossing Newell Road. You walk up on Newell Road and zoom in on the end of Norfolk Southern train #W10 and continue to watch it heading east until 12:05 when you zoom back from the train and then continue to comment on the train as you walk back to your car. 12:43 We are at the CSX Mile Post 41 curve on 30 April 2022 looking east as CSX train #I165 comes down off the elelvated tracks through Dunkirk, New York. At 15:38 mixed freight cars appear in the train. At 15:09 train #I165 finishes passing our location. CSX train #I165 is the daily Canadian Pacific double stack run through train that starts in Montreal, Quebec, Canada as Canadian Pacific train #143. The Canadian Pacific crew brings the train into the United States at Niagara Falls, New York and takes the train toi the CSX Seneca Yard in Buffalo, New York. At Seneca Yard a CSX crew takes over the train and it becomes CSX train #I165. The CSX crews they take the train to the Canadian Pacific's Schiller Park Intermodal Yard in Schiller Park, Illinois where the train terminates. At 15:09 train #I165 finishes passing our location. We watch the train until it goes out of view behind some trees. 15:50 We are at the Berry Road crossing in Pomfret, New York on 28 April 2022. The CSX fats are going down. At 15:57 we hear the horn of a CSX train approaching Berry Road. At 16:19 CSX train #Q634 hits Berry Road with a few open top garbage gondola cars following behind the engines. There are mixed freight cars after the garbage gondola cars. AT 17:22 a four compartment 20,000 gallon tank car appears in the train. This four compartment tank car is probably the first such tank car that we have seen in a very long time. Normally all of the tank cars that we see in trains are single compartment tank cars. At 18:05 a mid-train DPU appears. Immediately following the DPU are more open top garbage gondolas which make up the rest of the train. At 19:03 CSx train #Q634 finishes crossing Berry Road. You explain that while this particular train terminates in Selkirk Yard in Selkirk, New York which is located south of Albany, New York. The garbage gondolas are put on another CSX train that travels down toward New York City were the garbage gondolas are refilled and then reverse course back to Columbus, Ohio. 20:05 We are at the CSX Mile Post 41 curve looking west on 24 April 2022. At 20:10 CSX train #I168 appears. At 21:30 we watch CSX train I168 as it passes our location and continues on its way to the elevated tracks through Dunkirk, New York. 22:10 Your Outro commences and terminates at 25:01. Thank you for documenting these trains in the Dunkirk, New York area. Especially thank you for documenting that first train, Norfolk Southern train #W10. That train has got to be the longest and heaviest train that I can remember seeing in one of your videos over the time period that I have been subscribed to your KZbin channel. Thank you for being at the right place at the right time to be able to document that train. (Posted 3 May 2022)

[@robertf3479]

36,000 tons ... wow! For context, I'm a Naval Historian (hobby.) 36,000 tons is about what the WWII USN North Carolina and South Dakota class battleships would have weighed before fully fueling and arming them. That is a lot of mass, it's no wonder to me that all six locomotives were working hard.

[@WideWorldofTrains]

i saw the uss nc when my sister lived in Wilmington

[@poowg2657]

That long train was something else. A lot of that frac sand comes from the Blair Wisconsin area. The long train reminded me of a peculiar practice Milwaukee Road did in the '70s. Every Friday power was sent out to pick up all the dead locomotives, empties and cabooses from the division and bring them back to Milwaukee. One day in '76 it resulted in 436 cars, 16 locomotives and 4 caboose s . Never made much sense to me but maybe that's why they went bankrupt in '77. Loved the video.

[@WideWorldofTrains]

A little clarification on the fracking sand cars on the first train. In Binghamton yard just to the west of I-81 there is a transload facility where the sand haulers load to head into the northern tier gas field. And some of the cars are also sent into Wyoming and Bradford county for their gas fields both of which are along former Lehigh Valley trackage
