I was spending the day in Ancona on the BNSF Chillicothe sub and I noticed this train come through with 5 engines up front and many single stacks and I was thinking that it may be a 16,000 foot train that I have seen on videos but haven't seen it until now. Not only did it have 5 engines up front, but 3 mid DPUs, and 2 rear DPUs. It was so long that the front engines were almost out of view when the rear DPUs came through. They come out of BNSF's Logistics Park Chicago just south of Joliet and run west to Los Angeles before getting loaded on a container ship to the Far East. Hope to get more of these in the future. I will have the whole video up later of the day in Ancona, enjoy and don't forget to comment and subscribe!!

She'd always politely reply that no, people would ask her about him but she didn't know him, and thought he must live in the next town over.

Spreads out coupling stress both accelerating and braking, wonder what the limit is. Wonder if computers control syncing of engines to optimize workloads. Wonder how many couples in front of the middle and rear engines are in push before the switch to those in pull from the front?

@robinred1851 4 года назад

@stevealtra3543 4 года назад

That train was heading West (to a container port in LA, Seattle, San Fran, etc). Mostly empty containers (which must go back to China / Asia to be refilled). Also, all the "Stackertrain" rail cars (separates and combos- sharing a common bogie) need to go pick up more containers (West coast ports) to take them back East (where 80% of the continental US Population resides / consumes). Two + trains like that each week, cross America, (East-full) then back (West-mostly empty, to the ports).

I'm curious as to why the RR didn't double stack all those singles. It would have shortened and lightened the train,( no need for the empty well cars) which would have been a savings in fuel because the company wouldn't need all that DP.

@theflapjackaviation2645 5 лет назад

Most likely because the containers weight was already close to the well car limit so they couldn’t even out an empty one on top

Brandon Koole not sure though it would best happen when it's not too cold or too warm that's a long three mile walk to the end of the train

@RogerDiotte 6 лет назад

I'm concerned of this circumstance also, there's sometimes very high trestles that have tight walkways or lol no walkways like some I've saw but those would be upgraded I'm sure.

Y'all screenshot my comment: Give it 10 years and engineers and probably conductors will not have jobs on the railroad. Maybe in the yards and on small switching jobs. Longer trains - less frequent trains- less need for employees. Trains like these will be controlled by one person hundreds miles away. The writing is in the walls. I've been with a class one for 27 years I have about 2.5 years to go. Very few sidings are long enough to handle something this big. Broken knuckle are a huge problem. It's sad to see where the railroad is heading. For those on the outside looking in it's hard to see or understand but Mark my word. Switches are already controlled 100 miles away. Crews went from three to two. The feds may require a single human to run such a monster but I'm sure the railroads will work their way around it

The train was a monstrous 280 cars, 16 cars away from the monster that traversed UP's Sunset Route in January 2010 and 22 cars more than my longest train in September 2016 (my profile picture is that train). I love this and I think this a going-concern strategy for BNSF. Interestingly, the videos I have see of this mega train are in just Kansas and Illinois so far. What about California or Arizona or New Mexico?

@topgearrocks88 7 лет назад

ABALLAM3 they go all the way out to Los Angeles I believe, they supposedly are going to try a 20,000 footer in the future, it makes more sense for BNSF and UP to do this due to the longer distance.

@ABALLAM3 7 лет назад

It totally makes sense to run huge trains. CN does it between Toronto and Vancouver or Prince Rupert everyday. It's just weird that there is no videos of these monsters through Cajon Pass, Abo Canyon, the Arizona Divide or Mojave Desert, but I guess it is a matter of time. UP's only huge intermodal is between Global 3 and Long Beach and it runs along the Overland Route and through Las Vegas. Oddly, there is no huge eastbound intermodal in return. They still have yet to run 10,000 foot intermodals on their Sunset Route between Texas and California as well as to the Portland, Seattle, and San Francisco.

Holey Smokes. Huge, long train. Have never seen a train before with Locos in the middle? Usually pullers and pushers at the Rear. Could have turned my car off and taken a Nap at that crossing. LOL

I have seen a few BNSF trains with mid DPUs. Usually loaded westbound grainers or oil trains coming over Tehachapi pass in Tehachapi, CA (I see them on the Tehachapi Live Train Cams on RU-vid), and occassionally in Bakersfield, CA where I live.

Then you wake up, the gates come down, then a similar length train comes along. Happy Christmas (London)

281 cars. Just 14 cars less than the legendary UP test train in 2010

Simply amazing, it makes you wonder where all this stuff is going to and the time it takes to assemble a train of such a length.

@xenomorph2056 5 лет назад

I've NEVER seen a single consist THAT long!! That is insane!!

@jimbernard71 5 лет назад

Wow- COOL VIDEO!!! Thank you- I would love to know the haul fee for all of the freight. It must be insane! . .

Believe it or not, I think I did a good job driving this long train. Total, the train has 40,000 horsepower. Think about it. You have 10 diesel locomotives with about 4,000 horse each. Do the math. By the way, I'm cruising down the tracks at 2700 rpm.

The day I was driving this train was on my birthday. I am now 25 years old.

It’s hard to imagine how long it must have taken just to LOAD that whole train.

CP Rail runs 180 car stack trains through the Rockies with 5 GE AC4400’s in distributed power. Two in the lead, 2 in the middle and one in the rear. Also they are about 90% double stacked. This one was about 50% single stack and running flat ground. They might have been testing length in regards to traffic tie-ups at level crossings. CP did this a few years back. 14,000 foot trains are getting pretty regular. This is tougher sledding through the Rockies.

Got a cab ride several years back on CP from Revelstoke to Golden with my PV ( private varnish passenger car ) on the rear. Went through the Connunett Tunnel ( built with Chinese labor. Three new GEs up front. Engineer let me drive as he stepped outside to 'take care of some business. Also on the climb he blew the horn, opened his window & in a few minutes several ravens came by & he hand fed them a treat. Can tell this story now as I'm sure the statute of limitations is in affect. DJT

@highpowerx4554 5 лет назад

I stared at the the train for too long made me dizzy😵 I almost threw up...Awsome....love trains👍👍😁

@martinsparrow150 4 года назад

BHP have had the longest. in western Australia 97 I think it's been on utube. 7.2k or so long. Eight engines

@bigcasey4143 3 года назад

Yes... And on 5th November 2018, one of these trains ran away, attained a speed of around 100mph for many miles on the steep downhill gradients and had to be deliberately derailed, destroying 245 loaded Iron Ore cars and two remote locomotives, as well as causing significant damage to the track... Happily, this disaster happened in a remote desert location, and no one was injured... the train driver was applying handbrakes to the wagons on the train when the air brakes suddenly started to release... and it became a runaway... you can read the interim report on the ATSB website... this is probably going to be one of the most expensive and destructive derailments in railway history...

@michaelhargis7036 5 лет назад

I have a question that I should know the answer to, but don't. My dad worked for EMD for 35 years and Im not into trains at all. Question is.. why don't all engines face forward? Why are they flip flopped? Nose to tail, then tail to nose. What is the reason/thinking behind this? Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

@Jleed989 5 лет назад

The short answer is, so they can operate in units. Without having to turn around. Get to the end of the line. Switch locos and you are facing the correct direction. Hope that helps.

@toddbehrends1373 7 лет назад

16000 feet would be over 3 miles long. Wonder what the tonnage was on that? Wonder what the lash up would have looked like if all the cars were double staked???!!!!!!!!

@GEES44DC 4 года назад

Likely a lot of empties.

@garymitchell4291 5 лет назад

We call them Super Trains....since we won't be doing progressive railroading like UP and NS has done, we pull more with no layoffs... A bit cumbersome for small towns but we move thru as quickly and as safe as can be. Usually 273 to 300 cars...they run in consise tandems so everything is controlled by the engineer and conducter!

@ericgarner6175 3 года назад

I work in a yard where we unload and load these kind of trains. If I saw that come in id quit 🤣

Those trains are ok out in the desert, they are a pain if your around any kind of population. With a one or two man crew's if any problems crossings would be BLOCKED FOR HOURS. But the R.R. are making billions and that all they care about.
