Union Pacific's Lordsburg Sub Part 2 [Steins, NM to El Paso and the Morenci Copper Mine]

[@AustinWesternRailfan]

"Out in the west Texas town of El Paso, I fell in love with a Mexican girl" everything I hear something about El Paso, that exact song comes to mind. Thanks again for another great upload.

[@7ideaproductions]

Thank you. Yes that Marty Robbins song was in my head for some reason!😄.

Another excellent video. The Morenci mine footage was a real bonus. I find the nothingness of the desert captivating.

Loved part 2, I am an El Paso native and lived there from 1972 to 1996 with a short break from '75 to '79 when my family moved to Paris France for my dad's job. I moved to Memphis in '96 and have been here ever since. This video kinda made me a little homesick, I do still miss the desert and the excellent Mexican food from home. I still have high school friends there and a buddy that is a road engineer on the UP and runs between El Paso and Pecos Texas. Great videos BTW second to none, keep up the excellent work!

@@jeffsullivan3101 thank you! There is something alluring about the desert country. I try to include it in my pictures.

If Part 1 was good, Part 2 was incredible! The segment on Clifton/Morenci... very informative. Being from Las Cruces and now living in southeastern Arizona i know all points in between. And yet I learned so much in this two part series. Thank you! Well done.

[@7ideaproductions]

Awesome! Thank you! I really liked the Morenci and Clifton area. Amazing history and operation.

[@petesopenrailsvideos]

I thought part 1 was one of your best videos yet. Looking forward to continuing the "trip" now.

[@7ideaproductions]

Thank you very much!

[@thomasgignac4500]

Always informative and excellent videography! Don’t stop producing, thank you!

I loved part 1 let’s see how part 2 is

[@WilliamJohnstoneJr]

FANtastic video!🚂🚂🚂🚂

[@T-rick]

Outstanding videos. Would love to see your take on Bluefield to Roanoke route with NS.

[@rogertemple7193]

This is amazing looking scenery in this area along the tracks very nice.☕🌞👋 🚂🚃🚃🇺🇲

[@OG-Productions]

We need a behind the scenes on how you make these videos.

[@Pushyhog]

love i10, las cruses, casa grande ,i-8 to san diego. Twice a month/10 car hauler , 7 years s.e. to socal.

[@dcleyne]

I love these videos. The quality is fantastic! Being on the other side of the planet, this is the only way I can enjoy the big time US railroading. I do have a couple of questions though. At 19:36 in the video, there looks to be some sort of nest on the top platform of the signal mast. Is that what it is? If so, what sort of bird (if you know)? Secondly, in Santa Teresa you talk about East fuel and West fuel... but how are the DPUs fueled? Do they pull the train forward and stop again when the DPU power is located at the east or west end fueling rigs?

[@psyko2260]

Really excellent video! Tiny correction at t=24mins; the AZER have 13 (not 14) B40-8Ws.... and a B39-8.

[@7ideaproductions]

Thank you for the correction. Real interesting railroad.

[@ryantroub3541]

did u take any video strains in kansas and or up near amarillo?

[@jackkreighbaum783]

I understand why, but it is sometimes disconcerting when the consistency is different in the various locations. In the late '80s, I hauled several loads of copper cathodes from the smelter to El Paso with Swift Transportation.

1:26:55 container door is open!!!!!😮😮😮😮

[@SoutheastTexasTrains]

Are you covering all of the sunset route to New Orleans?

[@jamesmassey-cc4ml]

The desert in southern New Mexico looks greatly similar to the Mojave desert in Southern California.🤔🤔🤔🤔

[@abrahamstanton]

Job well done today what is your next movie next week

[@matthewsturm9170]

UP’s math doesn’t work out. If the Santa Teresa facility is 12 miles long and a mile wide, that works out to almost 7600 acres. Not 2200.

[@7ideaproductions]

Good point!

[@RajokhanLaghari]

😮😮😮😮😢😢🎉❤❤😊

[@NS6677]

Ain't Steins pronounced St-Eye-Ns?

[@7ideaproductions]

Good question! You would think so by the spelling. I did at first. However it was named for a US Army Major Enoch Steen. "Steen's Pass" was sometimes spelled Steins, as it is on railroad timetables.

[@NS6677]

@@7ideaproductions I'm thinking of Richard Steinheimer, and thought that would be the way it's pronounced. I enjoyed the program greatly by the way. Shows how much stuff has changed since the SP days

[@7ideaproductions]

@@NS6677 Thank you! I have shot from Stein's Hill on Cajon Pass, trying to fill the shoes of the master and knowing I could not. It was great to be there.

[@NS6677]

@@7ideaproductions I bet it was nice to be out there. I've never been out there, or really almost California in general. but looking to explore the next few years.
