One certainly should avoid inflationary use of the word "insane," but here... wow! Two Union Pacific manifests disguised as Canadian Pacific trains in the Columbia Basin. Then an intermodal with 8 engines, and this INSANE grain train with 5 DPUs in the middle, 9 engines in total, in the Columbia River Gorge! Plus a few more, but watch the video and decide by yourself what to think of these catches. Or simply relax and enjoy magnificent rail action in breathtaking scenery - in 4k quality :)

INSANE video with surprisingly huge trains! I'm very keen on your footage. Keep up the good work man.

@mbmars01 Год назад

Thanks a lot!

@artiedelimitros9443 3 года назад

Great video. A little correction, that massive unit train with the 5 mid dpus is actually a soda ash train. They run from Green River, Wy to Portland for export on ships.

@mbmars01 3 года назад

Thanks very much. You're right, of course. As a visitor from the far southeast, I wasn't too familiar with the train moves in the northwest at that time.

@FastFreightStudios 6 лет назад

The title was my thoughts exactly when I was in the Gorge back in early July. Amazing stuff came crawling out alongside the beautiful scenery.

@mbmars01 6 лет назад

Lol, I can imagine. I wished I had more time when I was there.

@FastFreightStudios 6 лет назад

+mbmars01 You can say that again. I only had 2 full days (1 full, two halves) in the area, so I had to narrow out a little bit of everything.

@iusetano 6 лет назад

Awesome big time railroading. Great catches. Excellent video.

@mbmars01 6 лет назад

That's true. Some were neat catches out of the extraordinary or at least unexpected. Many thanks!

@THUGGAMANN 6 лет назад

Big Dawg thank you for getting some action on the Columbia...me personally have never visited there but I know a guy loved that point of view for rail fanning. I wasn’t sure if you where going to get over there Bro.but you didn’t & thanks!

@jerryswarens5323 6 лет назад

Excellent video. Loved that series form the northwest. Do u know how many trains that line gets.

@mbmars01 6 лет назад

Many thanks. I'm glad you liked the series about this "expedition" :) I spent very little time in the Columbia River Gorge and it was not enough to really get an idea about the amount of traffic. BNSF on the Washington side of the river seemed to be somewhat busier than UP on the Oregon side, but I might be wrong.

@AndreiTupolev 6 лет назад

That solid CP consist looks superb. UP trains do seem to have a much greater variety of power than BNSF.

@mbmars01 6 лет назад

UP has always experimented with different modifications of stock power to pull out the ultimate hp. I think that BNSF rather uses a streamlined roster to keep maintenance as efficient as possible.

Awesome!! I do wish that The Dalles isn't a quiet zone...at least downtown...

@mbmars01 6 лет назад

Oh well... So true, quiet zones are annoying for us railfans everywhere.

@TrainsNStuff 6 лет назад

@@mbmars01 I guess its true...Although I do wish locations didn't have quiet zones I do think some quiet zones make for great railfanning spots (SE Portland, Stevenson, The Dalles, Salem, East Vancouver...) Also just outside downtown is Weber Street...a great location with signals and a curve...and it's a horn zone...There's also another quiet zone along the I-84 west of The Dalles...

@mbmars01 6 лет назад

Thanks for the info. I didn't have time to explore the area as it already dawned when I arrived in The Dalles and my flight back from Portland to Atlanta was scheduled the following morning. It was nice to get a first impression of the area nonetheless. I guess I need to return one day :)

@mbmars01 6 лет назад

Thanks! No, I didn't count ...

@RestrictedProceed 6 лет назад

One maybe should avoid that word as much as possible, but this IS insane! Awesome video! I always thought UP underpowers their trains compared to the BNSF counterparts, but there's a serious reason to reconsider that claim. I'm looking forward to your footage from Harzer Schmalspurbahnen, as I'd like to visit that area one day.

@mbmars01 6 лет назад

Lol, many thanks :) Well, I never had the impression that UP underpowers their trains, but I'm possibly too much used to CSX and NS often having problems with the lack of power. Cool you already identified the narrow gauge railroad :) I have some nice footage filmed at the mountain Brocken, which I'll share soon.

@AdamV1313 6 лет назад

Mr Mistr Productions UP puts the right amount of hp per axel, so yes they tend to under power trains. Example a 3x2 manifest, first two units and one dpu on line the other 2 motors are off.

@tom-and-mom 5 лет назад

@mbmars01 Not sure if you saw one of the UP AC60CW's in the Building America (Flag) paint scheme.

@mbmars01 5 лет назад

I don't think I saw one on this trip.

@BertLensch 6 лет назад

No, no... I think insane perfectly captures that UP 3+5+1 grain train.

@mbmars01 6 лет назад

To that date, my favorite grain train was a BNSF grain train with 4+3+2 engines for power on the Southern Transcon. But this UP train tops it; I've never seen 5 center DPUs on a train before.

@BertLensch 6 лет назад

I can’t say I’ve ever seen anything that big before. Not in the DC area or the Atlanta area. The freight trains in the coastal areas just don’t need that kind of power.

@southernkentuckyrailfan9177 6 лет назад

@mbmars01 6 лет назад

@J3scribe 6 лет назад

I haven't seen 5 mid-train units since Southern Pacific was still running over Tehachapi. Epic. Did you happen to get a car count?

@mbmars01 6 лет назад

It was an awesome sight, for sure. No, I don't have a car count, but I didn't have the impression that the train was unusually long.

@J3scribe 6 лет назад

I see. That was a great catch!

@UnitedRailfan 6 лет назад

Did I count correctly? Was that last train...5 Mid Train DPUs? I’ve also never seen a train with power in the front, middle, and rear. That’s worth of “insane” :D Great video, very professional!

@mbmars01 6 лет назад

Yep, thanks!

@fritzd2116 4 года назад

I have seen a number of UP unit trains( soda ash, grain, coal) on the Pocatello subdivision in Idaho with a 3+5+1 locomotive consist. Great to watch these guys climbing the steep grade(Reverse Hill) Eastbound out of Hammett, Idaho.

@Bruh-ji3jk 6 лет назад

i wonder why CP doesn't have tier 4 locomotives

@RyanHatterer-Ryanns999 6 лет назад

Because of cost, I also believe it has something to do with the engines would be limited to where they could go but I'm not sure

@Victimof67 6 лет назад

Also, to be blunt, because the EPA has no jurisdiction in Canada. Our emissions rules are met by Tier 3 units. They can't operate in the US unless they are grandfathered. Any T3 units bought by CN or CP after T4 came in are captive to Canada.

@J3scribe 6 лет назад

They've been investing in remanufacturing their older locomotives instead.

@realcanadianrailfan110 6 лет назад

Canadian Pacific is bringing many SD40-2's out of storage and either sending them to the U.S. to be turned into SD30-2's, or just dusting the cobwebs off at the Canadian shops in Winnipeg and Calgary to be put back in service. Mostly yard work. Keith Creel is un-doing much of Hunter's deeds, if you will. The first thing he did the day he took over as Canadian Pacific's CEO was to bring back the beaver logo. You'll see it more often.

@tom-and-mom 5 лет назад

I've gotta admit it: At the Start of this video, 2 UP manifests went by as Canadian Pacific Railway, UP intermodal w/ 8 UP's intotal, and a terrifying or insane grain train with 5 mid-DPU's around the CRG.

@mbmars01 5 лет назад

Indeed. Where I do typically railfan, I'm not used to these kind of power demonstrations lol

@justinrobertshaw7182 6 лет назад

I hope you had a chance to make it to Hood River RR. That has a great view of the valley and Mt. Hood. (Which I have skied many times in my younger day about 30 years ago.) I don't know if you made to Bonneville Dam. There is great shots there too.

@tonyschulz3558 6 лет назад

All engines in consists other than power moves are fully operational at all times. Most of the time, it is only the leading two locomotives that actually produce power. The rest are for dynamic braking assistance on larger grades. Hope this helps

Really strange they didn't cut the 5 pack out at Hinkle after coming over the Blues! Also what look like grain trains can also be soda ash trains but normally they use the smaller three bay cars with ASHX marks.

@mbmars01 6 лет назад

Where does he come from/go to?

@AdamV1313 6 лет назад

tator05 not all soda ash trains have the smaller 5161 cars with the ashx markings, this one was a soda ash train I saw some white streaks on some of the hopers. It was most likely an OGRT4 or an OGRLV hard to tell with out looking at a lineup.
