was this in 2009 or 2006

Imagine if every single heritage unit lead the longest train in america

Now that's a RARE catch!

IAIS Is a class 2

Even 13 years later this is still rare as hell and very impressive

This was extremely rare. Would never happen in today’s world

too bad virtual railfan cam wasnt around back then

Enjoyed your video! When I worked for the IAIS in the 90’s, I worked the Bureau to Peoria job many times.

0:44 🔊🔊

Alot of CSX power.

Our ancestors used to ring that bell...

What year is this

Great catch with UP 1989

Awesomeness, this has to be super rare, spectacular catch and fantastic shot!

When a Heritage Unit is the rescue engine...

Amtrack needs to make a SD70ACEP

I've seen 1988 pulling a Amtrak cascades a very long time ago

Now that’s what you call early years of BNSF! To bad it’s mostly gevos in h3 paint today but oh well times moves on

Well of course that's what you do when you're a bored locomotive. You just drive around like you're in train simulator or trainz, shunt or carry any consists and rolling stock of your choice, carry passengers if you want, or just pick up a consist and drive. Like Trainz always says: Where Will You Drive Today?

CSX engineer here,but the videos are fantastic interesting area that Cassandra slope,liked the ending with the helper moves.

Nice video

Its Rare Enough To see a Non-Amtrak Locomotive Lead a Train.... Having U.P. 1989 LEADING AN AMTRAK IS SUPER RARE!!! (The Only time to foam)

Probably the rarest train I've seen on RU-vid so far

I love those B23'7s

long live the Santa Fe!

U EVER CATCH KCS AT JACKSONVILLE

THEY KEEP THE AMERICAN AND CANADA ECONOMY RUNNING DURING THE ICY COLD WINTER

AWESOME🚅

THANK YOU FOR YOUR VALUABLE TIME SPENT

love the k5la on the con rail engine

Wait a minute.... CSX 8781??!!?!?1 Thats a YN2 SD60M!!! Awesome catch :D

BNSF 5864 IS NOT AN ES44AC!!! It's just a Dash 9-40CW with an E-Bell and H3 Paint scheme. You will see those in your life sometimes.

this weekend it is 70 to 80 degrees so my dad might take me down there this weekend since it is so nice :P

Nice. Do you plan on coming back to the Huntington area anytime soon?

Great videos Thanks for sharing.

I sure wish I was there to see that Rio Grande SD70ACE UP heritage unit lead that Amtrak California Zepher.

Nice horn at 8:17! (LLPX GP38 #2017)

What a beautiful locomotive.

Thanks....I miss it too. At that time you really never knew what what's going to next. I'm glad I got to shoot it before it turned orange.

Great stuff Ryan!

That engineer on that tpw 3830 is nit SMOOTH

Great shot if the DRGW Heritage Unit and bad ass horn too. I have always wondered myself why Amtk uses dual power on short passenger trains. Surely they can't be that heavy?

I dont remember the exact model but it was a middle-of-the-road JVC mini DV camcorder. It has since died, but it was a great camera while I had it. It saw A LOT of trains. Thanks for watching...glad you liked it.

Wonderful footage. What kind of camera are you using to film this?

The Brickyard Crossing is one of the best kept secrets in all of Altoona

3:20, that's just not right..... lol

Those, are nice catches.

In my opinion , I think Amtrak needs SD70ACe's and ES44AC's! Phase 5 paint of course!

To my knowledge its mostly now a nighttime operation

emd power everywhere
