Nice catches of the trains.

[@jefftoft5568]

Thank you Elliott for watching a bunch of my videos!

Jeff Toft Your welcome.

PSR has changed the railroading landscape... in the past freight was only added to intermodal to "fill out tonnage"... now we are seeing this as a regular lineup... wall st is happy to see the railcars moving

[@jefftoft5568]

I have a video I have not posted yet that has an empty coal train with 40 loaded sand cars on the head end.

@@jefftoft5568 containerman2 has a lot of CN vids... first saw a mixed PSR train on his channel... kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZmbSlKluqa1rjK8 ... potash on the front, a DPU and then intermodal and then some mixed freight... being a ex-CNW switchman from the mid 90s, i rubbed my eyes and had to watch the vid again lol... couldn't believe what i saw... looking forward to your sand/mt coal train lol...

UP 6666 looked great!

[@jefftoft5568]

Thanks Alik!

[@kens.3729]

Sounded like a Wheel had a bad flat spot. Loved the New UP 6666. Very Nice! 👍 Thanks!

[@jefftoft5568]

Thank you Ken!

[@careysharp8340]

Question, why are they not sounding the horn on some of the crossings??

[@jefftoft5568]

Well Carey, that is my first time there and I assuming they are a quiet zone. No train horns, a lot of cities are doing that with the cooperation of the railroads.

[@careysharp8340]

Thanks Jeff for answering my question. Be safe.

[@UPDetector]

Always nice getting those 270 coal car trains. Nice catches Jeff

[@jefftoft5568]

Thank you! They are always a good catch.

[@scoobycarr5558]

Some towns along Union Pacific's lines have voted on closing down rail grade crossings and put up overpasses just like over UP's triple track in Nebraska.

[@jefftoft5568]

I saw those in Nebraska last year on my way to North Platte.

[@jessetrains7558]

Cool video! I caught the train with the KCS locomotive a little north of Des Moines. It was CBDM.

[@jefftoft5568]

Thank you, I knew it was Council Bluffs but did here the DM. Thanks.

Nice video Jeff

[@jefftoft5568]

Thank you Ed! I subscribed today you have some nice video, looking forward to watching more.

[@eddieg749]

Too bad it's a quiet zone Nice catch

[@jefftoft5568]

Yeah, I was disappointed with that too!

[@eddieg749]

@@jefftoft5568 I hate quiet zones

[@ETrain-mv4ck]

Awesome catches, I've been to that spot before in Nevada. You were not to far from where my grandparents live.

[@jefftoft5568]

It is alright for EB trains at Nevada but not WB with all the trackside buildings. Thanks Ericson!

[@TrainNerd97]

Something is mysterious about the DPU at 7:00. It might be the number it has, but I could be just excited about it in a hateful way, as I know what it really means. However, I'm not gonna say what it means though. All I'll say is, is that it's strange.

[@jefftoft5568]

You are not alone, that is the first thing everyone thinks w.

[@jamesstallings2007]

Verry Nice !!!

[@jefftoft5568]

Thank you James!

[@jamesburnside3023]

Excellent action

[@jefftoft5568]

Thank you James!

[@scoobycarr5558]

Union Pacific calls their hot Z trains over the former CNW the *Bird* to pay homage to the *Falcon Service* that the CNW once had in the 1980s.

[@jefftoft5568]

You will still here dispatchers on occasion call it the bird.

[@danasoroko]

UP is OK with Precision Scheduled Railroading. I wonder about small towns with railroad speed limits through town who will ticket the railroad for blocking crossings for too long.

[@jefftoft5568]

As long as they are moving not much they can do.

[@jeffkoons1538]

Just saw that 6666 in Tucson yard this evening Feb 28 heading east to El Paso

[@jefftoft5568]

That is cool, I have been to that yard. I was stationed at Davis Monthan back in the 70s and made a trip back in 2008. A lot changed in that time span.

[@natgass8102]

how fast was the first train going, looked like between 60 & 70 mph? thanks

[@jefftoft5568]

I think track speed is around 60 mph.

Thank you!

[@rearspeaker6364]

6666- fresh out of the Kato box!!!

[@jefftoft5568]

It is fresh!

[@shirleynelson8569]

Brand new Union Pacific C44-9W

[@jefftoft5568]

It is very shiny and clean, not sure if it is new or repainted. I will need to check, I am curious myself.

[@Cherryblossom656]

@@jefftoft5568 it's repainted I saw an old video of someone filmed that engine but it's was in the old up paint scheme plus it's a AC4000CW
