[HD] SD40-2 Leader! Union Pacific LOW20 El Segundo Local Chase from LA to El Segundo Volume 2

[@25mfd]

COOL VID... and wow catching a "snoot" SD-40 is RARE... didn't even know there were any left, let alone one that's still in service... but i still can't believe so many six axle locos on yard assignments and way freights today... i was a switchman in the 90s for UP and in our area, the industry tracks were restricted to only 4 axle locos that were under a certain weight... i left the railroad back in 2004 so a LOT has changed since then

[@LARailProductions]

Thanks!

[@heckingaxle6618]

its SD40 with no dash between SD and 40

[@LARailProductions]

moot point

[@everettthepetractionguy4222]

I enjoyed your captures of UP SD40-2 #1838. Despite the graffiti, the classic diesel-electric still looks AWESOME! I like this interesting clip of #1838 scrapping the concrete between the rails with it's pilot, here 👉 06:14. I love EMD SD40-2 diesel-electric locomotives! I enjoyed watching. 👍

[@LARailProductions]

Thanks!

[@oscartorres96]

Nice Video of the SD40-2.

[@LARailProductions]

Thanks!

[@me2mike91780]

im a fan of locals now ...thx for the chase

[@LARailProductions]

No problem!

[@alanpope179]

This "artwork " must be an LA thing....I never see units this well covered anywhere In Texas ...or most anywhere else!

[@heckingaxle6618]

That's Commiefornia for you...

[@01aviation34]

this artwork is fire

[@freight.train.Railfanner]

Impressive! I’m even surprised that a SD40 made it on LOW20. mainly I mostly see SD70Ms, sometimes I see Gevos or Geeps on LOW20, but most of the time it’s SD70Ms

[@rodcurry6387]

I've seen Union Pacific SD70Ms on the El Segundo job and was shocked 😳😮😳😮!!! A road six axle locomotive doing the work of a four axle switcher...

[@RailfanSchmollinger]

Cool 😎 Video of the BNSF & Union Pacific in the LA Basin and There was a Union Pacific Derailment in Carson California Amazing Video of the Union Pacific in the Los Angeles Area of Southern California ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@LARailProductions]

Thanks!

[@bradleyjanes2949]

Great catch merry Christmas 👍😎

[@LARailProductions]

Thanks!

[@marylandrailfan2008]

How late were they across the diamond in El Segundo? Crazy seeing that run in half decent light

[@LARailProductions]

They made it down there at 1:45pm. That week they were running abnormally late. Usual arrival is 7:30-8:30am

[@barryguerrero6480]

I love L.A. in a strange, abstract way. It has to be among the weirdest looking urban areas anywhere. The heavy graffiti adds to it. Among the five counties that generally get lumped into "L.A.", there's something like 18 million people! If you know where things are and how to get around, it can be a fantastic place to visit. I've never tried living there.

[@LARailProductions]

It's true!

[@drewhernandez5138]

Great video.. I've worked with both those guys before. Great crew

[@LARailProductions]

Thanks!

[@flattrain5834]

Looks like a nice branch to sightsee

[@LARailProductions]

Very scenic

[@SouthRV]

I’m more surprised that they sent 1838. 1709 was the only SD40 as of recent that ventured down there while 1838 was stuck as a switcher for LATC. Also some rough plow scraping at Douglas

[@me2mike91780]

1442 the DRIP is work of art, it's a celebrity along Normandie ...

[@01aviation34]

love seeing the drip units all over SoCal

[@MarcelosalivaTRENESArg]

Fantástico video my Friends awesome 😮 greeting 🙋🏻‍♂️🇦🇷🤞🏻

[@LARailProductions]

Thanks!

[@MikeG42]

This graffiti is sickening to see. Freight cars are one thing but on motive power ? especially the classic EMD standard cabs. Ack ! the SD40-2 #1838 is a unfortunate victim of ghetto rats. Otherwise you make some excellent videos and in interesting urban areas. Wish the gangsters would just stick to painting on walls and buildings at least.

[@LARailProductions]

Thanks!

[@Patrick-xp8bb]

I've never been a fan of graffiti myself.

[@Rail_Pass_Nightmare]

Super nice rolling bomb with hand brakes partially applied..🎉

[@marderdax]

Großartig!

[@BrittneyCooper-yb3td]

Where is that shot at 3:15? No crossing gates?

[@rodcurry6387]

City of Hawthorne just north of El Segundo Blvd at the city's City Hall. I'm not sure of the name of the street where the grade crossing is but this Union Pacific El Segundo line inherited from Southern Pacific merger is really something....

[@BrittneyCooper-yb3td]

Thank you.👍

[@LARailProductions]

Cedar Ave in Hawthorne

[@mikeyh9528]

It's where the HOMIES are! 😂

[@truckerkevthepaidtourist]

They had to flag crossing the signals don't work at that first one?

[@LARailProductions]

Yeah someone stole copper

[@25mfd]

@@LARailProductions *Yeah someone stole copper* are you serious... geez what the heck has the world come to?!???!??

[@LARailProductions]

Believe it or not LAPD was actively on scene arresting the suspect when I was there

[@25mfd]

@@LARailProductions GLAD to hear they arrested the bum... what a slob... guys like him just driving the quality of life in that city right in the toilet

[@donstarr7261]

The Milk Bone express!

[@misha17]

1. Another of your videos has intermittent graphics showing the train's locations. Could you add those in future videos so I get a better frame of reference? 1a. Can you put a comment with time marks of some of the locations? I travel along parts of the route occasionally and don't recognize things like that siding with railroad cars. 2. Is that the BNSF Harbor diamond at around 7min outbound and 13min inbound? 3. I live along the route of the former Harbor sub that is now part of the KLine (and future bikeway).

[@misha17]

3 (cont'd). I still hear train horns around 8am, which I figure is either coming from a train on the Wilmington sub, or a train along this line.

[@lacountytransitrailfan]

Hold up, an SD40 on LOW20?

[@LARailProductions]

Rare

[@felixthetrainfan4819]

SD40 fs!

[@rodcurry6387]

Where does Union Pacific take the tank cars they pick up from Chevron Refinery in El Segundo? Does Union Pacific drop them off at their East Los Angeles Yard or West Colton Yard?

[@LARailProductions]

They go to East Yard then outbound to Colton from there

[@AmberMeyer-w6w]

Good old SMELLGUNDO.

[@pacset2]

👍👍

[@ScottKew-g8r]

I was thinking railroads had FLAGMEN back in the day. Magnetic flagmen replaced men. Copper thieves are relieving the magnetic flagmen of copper. Maybe bring back flagmen?

[@valerieumphenour3565]

Nothing says 3rd world like Graffiti.

[@venturasaavedra3345]

TRA N 2:32 2:33 2:33 2:33

[@ScottKew-g8r]

Gates lights bells actuators sensor grid....may or may not work. Conductor with a safety vest and a flag and radio? ALWAYS works ! Just saying ! Copper Thieves here ? Maybe.
