Find and dandy until the conductor has to walk it in the middle of the night and can’t talk to his head end

[@KCTopDawg]

Ouch

[@randallellison6421]

That literally happened to a crew I was assisting at King, Arkansas a while back! They brought in a mixed freight (crews refer to them as "junk trains" on the Thayer Sub) that had a bad FRED on the rear. I picked up the conductor at the head end and brought him to the rear, so he could check the FRED and see if they could get it working again. Turned out the engineer couldn't hear his conductor over the radio, but he could hear me in the van. So the conductor would relay the info to me, and then I would relay the info to the engineer! Oh, and on top of that, after trying several times to try and get the FRED to work, we had to wait another hour and a half for the responder to show up with a new FRED!

[@KCTopDawg]

@randallellison6421 oh wow that's terrible! Why was the radio communication so bad??

[@randallellison6421]

@@KCTopDawg not exactly sure, but I know it's an area where radio signals can be a bit on the weak side at times, especially with handheld radios.

[@GEVOlutionCPKC]

Yessssiirr ➡️🚂⬅️😎

[@yclept9]

They're called combos. When two trains are near each other and going the same place they're just joined and a van picks up the extra crew. The chief efficiency is track usage: two trains can travel in one block, not needing spacing. Safetywise there are half the number of level grade crossings. Downsides are they're longer than sidings so passing one can be a problem.

[@KCTopDawg]

Thanks for watching

[@amessman]

They are impressive but maybe not the safest idea. BNSF has had multiple major derailments of these monsters including Cairo Nebraska last month. Excellent coverage, I was hoping more video of these would be posted online.

[@brianhickey5949]

Double coal! The fuel of coal-fired plants is kept in a coal pile on the site of the power plant. They measure the pile in terms of days of operation. I can see where one customer can request a double load especially if there is cold weather approaching :) These trains are awesome as they have plenty of power and are excellent to watch as they go by. Safety - I don't know. More cars and more engines means more things could go wrong I suppose. One thing for sure there will be a few vehicles upset by how long it takes for the train to clear the crossing :)

[@KCTopDawg]

Thanks for watching Brian and yes they have their pros and cons

[@CoenOinkeyTrains]

Nice catches! And definitely not the safest, nearly all the derailments are because of PSR, but it’s certainly the most profitable so nothings going to change…

[@KCTopDawg]

Thanks Coen and yep they are sticking to their plans of profitability. Who would've thought we'd see trains of this size!?!?!

[@missiontovenus123]

That train was 15,000’‼️ Maybe more? 2-3-2. 30mph, 6+minutes. @30mph 2 min/mile. 6 minutes=3 miles. BNSF is running a big time show of power and tonnage. Long trains like this are very safe because they are given clear track through. Steady at 30mph for 100’s of miles. We have many tracks through Cleveland, and 30mph and 15,000’ is far safer than 7,000’ and 60mph! Especially when rolling tank cars. There’s no hurry with dangerous liquids or coal. None. So long, steady and

[@KCTopDawg]

Well I definitely appreciate the info on the trains and glad that you enjoy my content! Thank you very much!

[@missiontovenus123]

…and the next train, pushing 40mph, had one of you best catches yet! When the 4 DPU’s came around bend, I was ecstatic. What a visual. 3-4-1. 5 minutes, 40mph = @3 miles again! 4 DPU’s twice. Impressive. 2-4-1. Major power, smoothness, and tonnage. What a great video. Hard to top that. Wow!

I wonder how long before they go driverless ? RioTinto are running driverless in Australia on their ore trains.

[@KCTopDawg]

Oh no probably never lol

[@matthewgaines10]

They are running driverless in largely unpopulated expanses. Few grade crossings. No mixed traffic (passenger and freight). Only one product on the rails. No major metropolitan areas bisected. Very different circumstances.

[@davidblowe9096]

@@matthewgaines10 Sydney has a new metro rail system - it’s driverless. Just saying ! RioTinto’s driverless trains operate port to port unmanned that includes loading at the mines, I’ve heard that they can also unload unmanned - yes it’s in a remote location my point being it can be done.

[@ralphaverill2001]

Certanly more profitable, though I can't see how a long train is even as safe as a shorter one. Certainly people waiting at grade crossings would vote for shorter, not longer trains.

[@KCTopDawg]

I don't work for the RR so maybe thats why it was a question 🤔

[@sheldonshogrin6736]

It's all about profits, not safety. The RRs don't care about safety, it's low on their list of priorities. The RR doesn't care about the communities they go through and by. All they care about is profit and having tax payers pay their retirement, medical insurance, and pay for fixing and upgrading the RRs. Tax payers have already paid for a project 10 years ago that hasn't been started yet to add a second rail from Kansas down to New Mexico to keep trains from parking across crossings and having to wait for a single line to open up.

[@KCTopDawg]

Wow, very informative. Sounds like a lot to be done for the right reasons.
