Great video..... first diesel motor sound .... traction motors sound.... tracks an wheels friction sound....... you got an excelent cali

As a Prime driver, I can confirm this.

Very nice video!! The K5LA on BNSF 7605 was awesome but the 7605 now has a K5HL and sadly the K5LA is gone. Ancona IL seems a great place to railfan!

I saw the word insane in the title and thought it might be exaggerated, but nope! That really was insane! The fastest freight trains I've seen in person were traveling at about 60 mph, and these look way faster. It's definitely interesting thinking about that crazy amount of mass and weight traveling at such great speeds! Especially around a curve like that!

[@gastonforde2121]

Terrific catch lad.

[@jleveille2]

thanks for this video. I could not believe how fast these trains were going fun to watch

[@wildmm9564]

The video was speed up

[@LupeCoded]

Still the cheapest to haul large amounts of freight. I heard that hauling Freight through a railway is insanely cheap. I can see why they're still around and why they're still the best way to transport things.

[@mattberg916]

Steel wheels on steel rails beats anything cross country. Such minimal rolling resistance can never be beat for efficiency.

train speed is slow, but vedio speed is fast

[@snakecold6755]

This is normal. Shut up

[@vanished3306]

Either the curve is not as sharp, or the trains are not going as fast as it appears, cuz holy mother of Mary I was just waiting for one of the stacked cars to roll on its side! Good stuff👍🏻

[@SWog617]

Trains were much faster 100 years ago. Have you ever seen those old films? They were really moving! People too...it was like they were race-walking. I guess they didn't have to slow down when they were on their devices.

That curve has the fasted trains of any curve I seen. Great video. :)

[@FFred-us9tw]

Head up to Kingston RI to the Northeast Corridor at the curve between MP 170.5 and 170.9. Curve almost as tight as that (sweeps more) with a 130MPH speed limit.

[@MrCancer1965]

Nice Footage.

[@WedNesDay_Addamz87]

Now that's what I call moving and hauling. A lot of engineers in other videos don't seem to go this speed. Whomever is controlling this freight must have years of experience 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@kensingtonchapp4819]

It all depends on the type of train, the territory, signals, and traffic congestion. Most of us will go 70 every chance we get if we're able to haha

[@ChristopherReal-Woods-zm8nc]

That very true. I am now 28 and just got a new job working for BNSF Railway. The first day I made it to 70 and it felt amazing.

[@timtraver7152]

I worked in a factory next to the old Conrail line in Endicott, NY. My packing station was next to a loading dock, one day we heard a terrible noise with tires screeching and car horns blowing. Seems one of the box cars lost a wheel, as in it flew off, thru a fence and over a 4 lane local road, ending up next to the buildings on the other side. It was a miracle it didn't hit a car crossing the road, if it had they'd have been killed for sure. I can't imagine seeing that fly across the road in front of me!

[@BNSFFREAK747]

I've worked over this stretch of track before. Man this machines haul fast on the Chili Sub!

Wow, that is a lot of speed for a curve. I don't think I've ever train watched anywhere with this much speed on a curve!

[@1978Prime]

how can they move that quick around a bend without derailing

[@kensingtonchapp4819]

It's an optical illusion created by the camera angle. That curve has a much wider radius than it appears in the video.

[@stuff_n_thanngs7552]

If ya ain't first, you're last. In all seriousness though, I'm guessing normal freight is limited to 50 on this subdivision whereas intermodal is limited to 70. Still very impressive that there is 70mph curves. Might be your zoom but this seems like a pretty good curve here. Great video

How fast are they going? Around me you only see them doing like 10mph.

Is this the line that goes through La Plat in your State of Missouri ? Sorry my geography of the US is a little rusty. I know LA is on the left and New York on the right, the rest is a bit of a mystery.

😂 Well done. Also, Seattle, Portland, and San Francisco are on the left. Boston, Washington DC, Philadelphia, Atlanta, and Miami are on the right. The rest are in the middle lol

Uh, yeah they know. Locomotives can be downloaded via satellite while enroute. Engineers can be road tested without even knowing. Throttle position, headlights, ditchlights, bell, horn, brake application, everything is recorded along with radio transmissions in time with physical action and available for inspection in real time.

Why did the first and second horn blast sound like that on 3:33

Alt Channel its the Doppler effect, when a trains past you the horn sounds deep, and that was a rounded corner so it sounds like it passed already but when it comes around it sounds normal

[@nucflashevent]

Talk about "The Friggin' Express" 😜

[@RED_STAR_89]

Feel the power

[@85bbenjaminfan]

So am I the only one who has noticed that intermodal trains seem to go at higher speeds than a standard freight train? If I were to venture a guess, it would be that intermodal freight is lighter and therefore doesn't require the locomotives to work as hard to tow it, so the locomotives can pull them with higher speeds. Can anyone verify this observation for me?

[@tbb236]

Jacob Harwood they’re higher priority trains. It’s not that they’re any lighter or heavier, it’s just that the crew is authorized to go a bit faster to get the shipment there early or on time, because having these types of trains be late can be serious trouble for crews.

[@outdoorsbeyondnature1980]

Simply said more engines pulling the rail cars.

[@kensingtonchapp4819]

@@tbb236 That isn't quite true. Maximum speed is determined by "tons per operative brake," train length and power configuration, the type of cars, and the type of roller bearings used on the axles. Contrary to popular belief, the priority level of the freight, and overall tonnage have nothing to do with the legal maximum speed. You typically see manifest freight trains being limited to 55mph because they have a very high tonnage per brake, and they usually have empty cars which are susceptible to "truck hunting" at high speeds. But, at my railroad we do run certain manifest cars at 70. Hope this helps.

[@jamesstallings2007]

Nice !!!

[@engineersdash]

About a good 80 mph.

[@kensingtonchapp4819]

70mph. I don't know of any class 1 railroads in the US where freight trains can run faster than that. Certainly not at BNSF.

[@marvinjones2523]

[@YoungHarry1000]

You've got some great spots to take recordings. Some advice: get a tripod, and leave the damn zoom control alone !

[@imnotkitakamilol3223]

Jesus, Trains in the past can carry or pull like 50 cars. Modern times are insane 😂

[@mattberg916]

You need to look again. More modern steam locomotives were move similar tonnage but less cost effective
