Southwest Chief & BNSF Monster Stack Train, Santa Fe Warbonnet & 4 Mid -Train DPU's

-Recorded 8/11/2021
This is was truly an awesome catch that I found in my video vault. It was completely forgotten and I'm so glad I found it!
On track three, the Amtrak Southwest Chief makes it's first stop since leaving Los Angeles Union Passenger Terminal 22 miles distant.
Meanwhile around the corridor heading to the ports of LA / Long Beach is a BNSF monster stack train. The engineer gave me a nice horn salute and a friendly wave out of the cab!
In the head end power is a Santa Fe Warbonnet lashed up to her sister GE's. This train is 13,708 feet long and is assisted by 4 mid train DPU's; a great catch!

Nice catch on the warbonnet!

That was a welcome catch for sure but, later to find out how big this train ended up being. Thanks for your support buddy ! - Larry

Actually, 5334 is a C44-9W, not a ES44C4😅

I took a closer look at the locomotive. I have made the proper corrections. Thanks for noticing! Kind Regards from Southern California; - Larry : )
