They continue to get better and better; love these GBs (says someone from GB) 🤣Liked that diesel in Socan't remember its number; that livery looks so like that of the British Southern Railway 1923-1948. Another superb ending with the sunrise at the 10 curve; great clip from Altoona; also like these happy people waving to the VR cameras. So much to enjoy in this one!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

It always amazes me how those big metal claws are capable of such delicate work (relatively!) when directed by the right operator. It really is artistry. Those guys are terrific!

Dang, that could have been an absolute disaster going into emergency on a curve with an approaching stacker on the adjacent track! We've see these before on this channel, where the brakes on the rear half of the train are still applying while the ones in front are already engaged and on a curve, even at slower speeds than this.

@donnaj9964 10 ай бұрын

Does anybody know who the people are whose names are on the passenger cars in the CSX Transportation train? Are they CSX bigwigs or railroad barons or what? I keep thinking that I should recognize them, but maybe it's just that they all sound like historical figures. Any info would be appreciated! This was another gorgeous one--especially the Fort Madison footage, the Altoona shots, and of course that beautiful, heart-catching ending. Thank you!

@kennethfuller8347 10 ай бұрын

Yes, the names on the coaches are former, and a couple present, CSX dignitaries. And to the best of my knowledge, the cars are lined up in the order they were president or CEO of Chessie System and then CSX. I've noticed that before when watching that train roll by.

@donnaj9964 10 ай бұрын

@@kennethfuller8347 Terrific--I hoped that someone would know because this channel has so many knowledgeable watchers. And if the named cars are lined up in chronological order it would explain why the names at the end have a more "Edwardian" sound to them. Thank you so much!

Dragging equipment detectors didn't catch this one. BNSF requires the conductor on a stopped train on a siding to go out and inspect the passing train. Don't know if just casual RR employees are required to watch/inspect passing trains.

It seems like BNSF wastes a lot of fuel shuttling locomotives. Aren’t there any safe sidings where they can be stored?

That would be kinda terrifying or at least give me a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach if you were in the stack train rounding the curve, and had the train on the inside with a non-engineer induced emergency brake application, and not knowing what is on the other side of the corner. I'd be praying that it was just a simple air hose, and not a car on the ground in front of me that I couldn't see yet.
