The thing that amazes me about these trains is how the couplings can be so strong, especially at the front of the train. Think about that first connecting coupling! All the weight that’s on it. It’s amazing how strong steel actually is

Think about the small piece of steel rail that supports these monstrosities, it has to bear all the weight, AND must be perfectly aligned for thousands of miles. One inch out means derailment

[@ta666ak666]

That's why they add 3 engines in the middle + 2 in the back, to distribute power along the train, so the couplings are under less stress. Still amazing, though, I agree, as is all tech stuff.

I love this and I think this a going-concern strategy for BNSF. Interestingly, the videos I have see of this mega train are in just Kansas and Illinois so far. What about California or Arizona or New Mexico?

[@topgearrocks88]

ABALLAM3 they go all the way out to Los Angeles I believe, they supposedly are going to try a 20,000 footer in the future, it makes more sense for BNSF and UP to do this due to the longer distance.

[@ABALLAM3]

It totally makes sense to run huge trains. CN does it between Toronto and Vancouver or Prince Rupert everyday. It's just weird that there is no videos of these monsters through Cajon Pass, Abo Canyon, the Arizona Divide or Mojave Desert, but I guess it is a matter of time. UP's only huge intermodal is between Global 3 and Long Beach and it runs along the Overland Route and through Las Vegas. Oddly, there is no huge eastbound intermodal in return. They still have yet to run 10,000 foot intermodals on their Sunset Route between Texas and California as well as to the Portland, Seattle, and San Francisco.

You are filming this train on the northeast side of town on CR E 2900 N. The FRA data on that crossing is [004500L] Amtrak's California Zephyr and Southwest Chief will pick up this sub in Galesburg Illinois. The Southwest Chief will continue on the (Chillicothe Subdivision) into Fort Madison Iowa, then pick up the (Marceline Subdivision). The California Zephyr will follow the (Ottumwa Subdivision) to Creston Iowa. The Southwest Chief and the California Zephyr begins at Chicago's Union Station. The Southwest Chief will run to Los Angeles, the California Zephyr will run to Emeryville California, near the San Francisco Bay region. The California Zephyr serves the states of Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Colorado, Utah, Nevada, and California. The Southwest Chief will serve the states of Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, and California. Now if I know that particular run correctly, If anyone has any ideas please let me know. The run will begin in the (BNSF Chillicothe Subdivision) from Chicago to Fort Madison Iowa where it will pick up the (BNSF Marceline Subdivision). From there it will run into Kansas City and join the (Kansas City Terminal Subdivision) until it passes through the (Kansas City Argentine Yard), then join the (Emporia Subdivision) into Wellington Kansas. From there, it will join the (Panhandle Subdivision) until it arrives in Amarillo TX, then pick up the (Hereford Subdivision) into Texico New Mexico on the (BNSF Southern Transcon) At this point, the (Slaton Subdivision) will come up from Lubbock Texas to join the transcon . From there it will pick up the (Clovis Subdivision), run through the (Clovis Yard) then continue west to Belen Junction near Los Lunas New Mexico where it will join the (Gallup Subdivision). It will remain west to Winslow Arizona until it picks up the (Seligman Subdivision) to Needles California. At Needles California the line continues west as the (Needles Subdivision) to Barstow California. From Barstow, it will run through the Barstow Yard and drop south on the (Cajon Subdivision) until it arrives in San Bernardino California. It will follow the (San Bernardino Subdivision) until it comes into the (Alameda Corridor) southeast of downtown Los Angeles near the (River Subdivision), then continue to the Port of Long Beach and Los Angeles.
