Southern Pacific Cab ride with Night Ride

[@tunnelmot]

The SP killed it in its day. Innovators in intermodal, motive power, communications. Along with its history, terrain, and problems made for a great show of horsepower, tonnage and might that i fell in love with as a kid in the LA and high desserts of SoCal. A fan to this day, SP for life...

[@SIGINT007]

For those that don't know, SPRINT literally came out of Southern Pacific origins...it was their internal networking group.

@@SIGINT007 Sprint microwave system had excess capacity so they leased to business customers who wanted to save on long distance phone charges.

DJ Russell is the one who started SP on it's downward spiral. Penny-pincher who couldn't see the big picture.

[@jamesg2609]

I was a SP engineer for years and then employed by the UP. Great video brings back great memories when the SPRR was one of the best companies to work for in the RR industry.

They paid like a slot machine.

glad you liked it, I do miss the high rail,,,, I don't miss the heat, the away from home stays, the cold, the living in motels, bad greasey spoon eating places, ect., and I do miss the people I worked with,,,, and there were very few dull moments.....

[@neilybobmojo_railfanning]

It's like watching an episode of "Cops", but with trains involved...awesome.

[@AleDLTrainsTravel]

Great video!! The mix of rail sounds and music is terrific. SP forever!! Thanks for sharing!

[@dwain1310]

thanks for comment those were the days,,,as they say......

[@philipwilson867]

I ran those rails. As an engineer. Rock pool for years Taylor to Houston and Fort Worth

[@actx9433]

That is an awesome video. Moments in time

[@GearheadExplorer85]

Love the 80's guitar lick at 3:10

[@davidphillips6697]

Very nice! Love the music too, but wish I could place it!

[@tcvideosennistexas]

fthanks,,,, that music is what they call 'production music',,,, music you can buy to use on videos that has no copyright issues,,, that is,,,, when you purchase it,,,, its deemed 'yours',,,,,,, the originator of the music gives you the right to use it however you would like,,,,,,, ( you can find music such as this on the internet )

[@MFXdump]

David Phillips 80's porno music. Lol!

[@dwain1310]

well, I believe it was 1988 or 89, filmed with a super-s camera on high speed shutter, actually it did a good job for a older format...

[@tcvideosennistexas]

@csxketh1 engines are equiped with a red warning devise which goes off when the train goes into emergency brake application, it stays on until the trainline is recovered and brake pressure is restored,,,, its a warning to any approaching trains on adjacent tracks that the track ahead could be obstructed,,,,,,it usually stays on continuously

[@SWTexan82]

awesome footage, im assuming this was all shot around Hearne? Love the clip with the Dallas-Houston section of the Texas Eagle.

[@dwain1310]

glad you liked the video,,, I do like a little music with my trains sometimes,,, be sure and check out my other railroad videos here on the ... dwain1310..... you tube page,,, the others don't have music along with the ride!! thanks again for the comment....

[@trainknut]

its funny seeing an SP SD40R leading an intermodal. especially with all the lights intact.

[@dwain1310]

glad you liked the video,,,starts out at Kossee with the run-by's then south of Hearne on the dalsa interlocker over the B&N, back to Hearne Yard and at Gude meeting train in siding, Night segment at Hearne Yard and slow entrance into groesbeck siding with the dynamic brake whinning, then to End at corsicana,, the Amtrack Texas Eagle was at Garrett just North of ennis.....

[@MilwaukeeSDman]

hey whats the names of the songs you used? I kinda like them lol

[@dwain1310]

thanks,,, I do like a little music with my videos, seems music, provided you find the 'right; music , at least adds a little zing to the visual and original soundtrack, glad you liked it...... thanks

[@catlover2368]

Our class 3 railroad Arkansas and Missouri have a couple of Cotton belt engines and still in there original paint though some could use some new paint

[@TessasDaddy7132]

Awesome video but I wish it was full length journey and no music.

[@IxQuit]

I love the SP, where their horn other than nathan p3s

[@csxketh1]

What is the red light in between the numberboards on the Amtrak F40PH's used for and how does it work? (Does it flash or just stay on?)

[@ThumperKJFK]

Hello dwain1310: Great videos. but next time can you NOT put music in the back ground. your drowning out the great sounds of trains what's up with that LOL :) Thanks again Great show.

[@dominichetherington2287]

[@zurekc]

I agree...no music.

[@rhettscal]

Great video footage. Too bad it has background music. Why?

[@elvin.castro]

The background music is honestly good. It helps you Immerse yourself in this era of Railroading - the good ole 90’s
