[@williamanderson6142]

Love the way SP rolls Loud,Notched,and wide open? Yeaahh

[@joshthetrainfan]

I miss the Cans! I wish I was born early enough to see them operate!

[@steventate9132]

Just imagine the long wait at RR crossing that would be crazy

[@LAFD42]

Very nice! Brings back memories of catching them roll through Glendale in the evening on their way to Carson for unloading. Great catch!

[@joestrainworldvideos3977]

Really fine train video. Thanks for sharing. 👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌

[@MRTLEW01]

5 of todays engines probably can do that work today huge difference on power

[@espeescotty]

I never got to Tehachapi very many times and I never got to see the "Cans". I'll always be bummed about that. Too bad that BN C30-7 wasn't online, it would've added some great sounds to the show.

[@dominichetherington2287]

Nice g.p.60 in the mix think that was quite rare!they were preferred on intermodel and stacks

[@coltonstigall32]

Awesome catch!

[@zirndorfredleg7688]

Why are the pipes connecting the cars together?

[@ortlu-ro9yn]

Those "pipes" were hoses that allowed to load the entire train from a single point, instead from each car individually.

[@THEFORT89.]

@@ortlu-ro9yndamn that means these cares a fully fully loader. Heavy shit yo

[@victorcorriengara5360]

Raw power

[@ScottKew-g8r]

HOWLING EMD S !!!!

[@bonhommerichard1]

Another CLASSIC, Kevin! Them 645's were "huffin' and puffin' and towin' and shuvin' their guts out! By the way, how did those GEs get in to the mix?

[@trainknut]

The BN Unit was probably a run-through, or possibly a leaser, and the other one was simply an SP locomotive that happened to be in the yard when they were assembling the helper lashup. SP had a tendency of throwing whatever was available onto trains as helpers, it wasn't uncommon to see SD9s and SW1500s occasionally helping with a grade, so the fact they put a B40-8 on there doesn't surprise me.

[@oofmasterproductions9936]

Umm why is there a B30-7

[@9carcottrell246]

In this video I'm pulling on average 660,00"pounds per rail car and running a fiat Alice tug boat engine with full inter axel wheel lock deployment and sand spreader. 850,000 pounds per tracktive drive. About 4,500 horses per wheel.

[@josephjoestar3275]

That's........ wildly incorrect.

[@josephjoestar3275]

Each car weighs 263,000 pounds loaded. They ran in 66-72 car sets. MTY weight was 78,300 pounds. So that's false. And now onto the locomotives: SP SD40T-2 8241- EMD V16-645E3 3,000HP SP SD45R 7448- EMD V20-645E3 3,400HP BN 5509 C30-7- GE 7FDL16 3,000HP SP 6808 SD45T-2R- EMD V20-645E3B 3,400HP SP 7409 SD45R- EMD V20-645E3 3,200HP SP 8293 SD40T-2 V16-645E3 3,000HP SWING HELPERS: SP 6825 SD45T-2R- V20-645E3B, 3,400HP SP 7560 SD45R- EMD V20-645E3, 3,200HP SP 7405 SD45R- EMD V20-645E3, 3,200HP SP 8011 B39-8- GE 7FDL16, 3,3900HP SP 7481 SD45R- EMD V20-645E3, 3,400HP SSW 9655 GP60- EMD V16-710G3A, 3,800HP

[@fayjaankhan2294]

Look engine with out washing looking

[@THEFORT89.]

Are the middel units control via DPU/remote or was there another crew in there like in pusher/helper service ?

[@ortlu-ro9yn]

The helper units were operated by another crew, no remote units on the Espee
