4K - Union Pacific Freight Train Operations at the West Colton Yard

Last month, I spent a good part of one morning at the Pepper Ave. overpass in Bloomington, California. This lightly used road passes over one of the busiest train action places in all of Southern California, being the East end of the Union Pacific West Colton yard. It's a rather busy place... everything from yard switching trim jobs, power being switched onto outbound manifests, and thru trains passing on the mainline!
The up close vantage point from above makes it a really unique place to relax and watch the bustling action going on below, with nobody bothering you about trespassing!
Thanks for watching!

Nice! No stupid music, no voices, just that wonderful sound of large diesel engines!

As a retired Up engineer watching these videos helps me to cope with my loss of income seeing my 41.7year friends and my love of trains I took down my massive ho scale up/bnsf/ns layout to give the space to a family member I miss my job,retirement $ is hard to live off of,keep putting out the fine work that yall do it's a great help to us that need it

Love seeing trains at work. When I was eight years old I was standing much too close to a passing train. The neighbor lady (in her seventies) came out of her house and screamed at me 'what are you doing? Get the hell away from there.' Now I know why!! But she made me cry. If Mrs Montfort was alive today I'd give her a hug....

I lived uphill from a rail yard. I used to love the distant creaking sounds of the freight trains coupling and uncoupling at night especially when it was raining. Very relaxing sleep

@dfrost6573 4 года назад

Fran I get that! I grew up on Air Force bases and the sound of jet noise to me is a lullaby. The louder the better.

Marktheartest if you’re single and don’t mind basically being “owned” by UP, go for it. The pay and training(no pun intended) is great. If you have a family and/or a life I wouldn’t recommend it.

@michaelleftwich8186 Год назад

I have never seen so many trains. Cool as to how they switch tracks to hook up with certain lines of cars. I swear that one train was at least over a mile long.

@beeble2003 Год назад

Most long-distance US freight trains are significantly over a mile. Anything up to about 2.5 miles is pretty common, and most are well over 1.5 miles.

@paname514 5 лет назад

I have plenty of action near where I am now but it's mostly and increasingly electric mutliple units.... sighs. I guess by 2035 only freight trains will use locomotives. And electric or hydrogen ones, that is. Passenger trains will be EMUs or hydrogen multiple units by then. No more Diesel.
