My uncle is a first responder as a fire fighter and thank you so much for posting this up and you rock, Rowan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@RailStalkerAdventures]

Yeah, man. How do you make your intros the way that you have them being set to the music, because I am trying my hardest to do the same thing to my intros with no such luck

I am a 40yr career firefighter and 1st time I ever seen this train pretty awesome

[@Toyotaprius78]

😎 Cool 😎

[@_630_9]

Those pipe looking things on those flat cars are actually all the different tank car lid covers that go on all the tank cars. Gives the first responders a chance to see what they look like and how to deal with them. Stay safe!

Glad I found this! As a Firefighter I "trained" on this unit 🚂

[@twizzler309]

The flat has tank car lids in it for demonstrations & there’s a curtain that goes from each container, that’s what the wires are for.

[@SarahsAtticOfTreasures]

Cool Train. Thank you.

[@RailfanRowan]

You're welcome Sarah!!

[@artillerest43rdva7]

The tanks in the frame are international regulated shipping containers, we get them on site. The Other flat cars look like training for hatch closures for tank cars we get hoppers & 111 tank cars On site also. Sometimes I even get to see change out of cars by CSX on site! Great videos thank you for the education regarding train protocols and communication.

[@michaelboyles9329]

Being a first responder for more than 25 years, it’s nice to see companies truly have safety for us in mind! I have one son in Russell KY (Raceland) on the Dept with me. I also have one in Horry County Myrtle beach SC fire & Rescue. I sent him this video also. Good job on finding and filming this. Quick question, does any manufacturer make the total train yet? Thx again and be safe!

[@RailfanRowan]

I assume you mean the model train when you talk about manufacturer and I don't know a Google search might help you better than me actually!! Thanks for the view!

As someone who has their class 6 and class 8 I recently started watching you and it amazes me how much I’m sorry if this offends you but foamers know about the rail way

[@RailfanRowan]

It amazes me how you compare a young railfan who posted this in 2018, to a classified hazmat cert holder. I'm actually certified now.

[@railfanowen9372]

They just hit a truck in Martinsville VA!!!

[@JoshuaCaudell]

The train horn is the Nathan Airchime K5LA.

[@artillerest43rdva7]

i believe it is a intermodal container for moving solvents. we get them on site for dupont tedlar films for the processing chemicals for the film. at times by rail or truck. some come from overseas via IMDG containers then trucked to site in buffalo, ny. great job chasing the trains! and always being safe! God bless and be safe out there.

[@detroit8v715]

Saw this consist on July 4th weekend back in 2017 in South Bend, IN. NS had the train hidden away in South Bend instead of keeping it in Elkhart yard. Was still able to get late afternoon photos of it. Both Athearn and Atlas make this GP38 in ho scale and Atlas in n scale as well. MTH make this in o scale, both 2 rail and 3 rail versions. I have the 2 rail version of 5642. Atlas Lionel, and MTH make the cars that go with the 5642, but Atlas are the most accurate and best looking in o scale. I have several of the cars in 2 rail and hope Atlas does all the cars.

Those “black things”, on the flatcars are container tanks. They’re a standard 20 ft container length.

[@RailfanRowan]

[@johnorchon625]

the first box car and tanker has hazmat markers posted ........... that means that the cars are fill with hazmat

[@RailfanRowan]

Conventional wisdom would say that you're right. But I suppose they cleared them

[@laserbub]

No Hazmat, the train is used to train first responders what they need to know about tank cars, the different hatches and the smaller tanks with everything from dangerous chemicals to radioactive cargo.

[@JohnNewman-ev7tc]

I believe the box car was a classroom

Awesome rolling shot of the #5642 in great light. As a retired firefighter I possibly recognize the the flat car 'freight' as different types of domes from tankers. The cables support a shade screen for training exercises in safe environment.
