I stopped doing night photography when the lighting went to LED-it totally ruined the scenery with its harsh glare. LEDs have their uses as good task lighting but for accent lighting it’s on par with willie-pete.
The sound you get is amazing. There’s a spot on the original Soo Line west of Minneapolis you would enjoy. Westbounds fight uphill to New Hope where the tough little short grade tops out amidst block-walled commercial buildings 100 feet from the centerline of the right-of-way. Soo Line was always stingy with power on trains of empties, which most westbounds were, so it was a diesel wall of sound bouncing between those buildings as locomotives crawled their way up the hill. It wouldn’t have been so bad if they could have gotten a little run for the hill but there were houses nearby that prevented that. I now live about six miles south of that hill and on cold winter nights it’s very easy to hear trains battling that grade out of Minneapolis.
Sounds like a great spot indeed, brick buildings and rock walls are like concert halls for diesels, sounds like a place I'll have to visit in the future. I would have loved to see that spot, or my spot here for that matter, during the days of 645 turbos running the mainline and the SOO line still running. Thanks for sharing and thanks for watching!
Trains make multiple back-and-forth moves to assemble their full consist here, often throttling up from a stand still with pressure to clear a busy crossing. Lambton Park Yard is only ~30 cars long so it usually takes at least 3 moves to make a train. They are also 100% fully loaded with refinery and forest products. Thanks for watching!
Very cool! Out of curiosity, when was this railroad footage recorded? This video was uploaded in the summer of the Northern Hemisphere, so I am just wondering because there is lots of snow in it.
2200K LEDs and lower to about 2000K should be used for our streetlights. These white LEDs are just to damn bright. I suffer from migraines from these damn things
Hey there, Edmonton Rails! Glad to see you back! How have you been lately? I always like footage of Canadian Pacific units at work, so nice job on this video! It's another great set of footage that shows what goes on with freight consist assembly. Looking forward to seeing more of those soon!
Hey CEO100, it's great having someone that consistently enjoys the channel, so thank you! I've been good, just too lazy to edit videos this year lol. I still have a long line of raw videos, so there will be more for years to come. Thanks again for watching!
Happy Canada Day 2024 to you and your family, Edmonton Rails! I hope you all have been having a great time today. I am also looking forward to seeing more Canadian train footage on your channel very soon, so keep up the excellent work!
i am guessing the spooky sound is the air pump for the brakes running with some kind of friction and play . if the pistons in the pump where moving quick enough then maybe it make that harmonic ? .my other guess was some kind of leak or fault on a boost management valve , but i am going with air brake pump .final answer
