Dont know about anybody else but I always enjoy watching the Revelstoke BC cam. Between the antics of the bears, the trains, and great scenery, it's one of the best cams you have!
Once in a while I do work in downtown Calgary, sometimes I get to see Revelstoke trains passing through on the line behind a building I do service work at. The train at 11:45-12:50 came through Calgary this morning.
Nice G/B, thank you all at VRF. BNSF seem to be trying to upstage WAMX on the smokescreen front. Boy, do I like Southern green livery. Another great catch was the white Jeep at Hesperia. Luckily the young man on the Electric Skateboard did not appear injured, but it seemed like A.I. and the Camera were in cahoots. However, at least he waited for the Train to move and did not do a 'Darwin'.
A lifetime ago, I watched a pair of FA2s, a pair of RS3s, and a GP9 help a B&O train up Williamsport hill on the Western Maryland. Only the Geep was smoking. Pouring rain, but one of my best days ever.
Remember when they complained about smokey Alcos?? Seems both EMD and GE,are well within striking distance of making up for all the defamation that Alco endured! Karma,is a nasty two way street! Thank you 😇 😊!
Wow I just found out I made the Grab Bag. At 16:36 that’s me and my Jeep CJ-7. I went to Cajon Pass to hill 582 and I thought I would buzz the Camera so my brother could see me. Thank you that made my day. I hope everyone has a great day as well.
Boy, BNSF 5251 is not having one of its better days right there! Also, great catch of the new ET44ACHs at 20:18 too! There's currently 4 that have been testing on unit coal trains here on the Thayer Subdivision the past couple of weeks!
15:43 CSX 1714? It's an SD40-? Original roster as EX SBD GP9/GP16... This unit has six axles. Any help appreciated. John p.s. 20:40 Brand-New BNSF 3663, 3662, Built July 2023 at The Wabtec Fort Worth Locomotive Plant Texas, ET44AC
The odd-looking CSX unit is an SD23T4 (GE class ET23DCM) rebuild by Relco/Wabtec in Iowa. Some are being rebuilt by CSX at Huntington, WV. They have more than a dozen on the roster. Those old SBD Geeps have been retired for decades.
0:31 8016 rocking that Ekyrail E-Bell! And then at 18:49, BNSF 5893 there is also known to possess an Ekybell too. Funny enough, on that same lashup, you can see 7893, exactly 2000 numbers above it.

That's the Rocky Mountaineer. It's a Canadian owned passenger railroad that has a line that runs from Denver to Moab with a stopover in Glenwood Springs where there's a ski resort and hot springs.
The smokey engine looks like it needs injectors cleaned or there is something wrong with the turbo. Memory and knowledge is a little weak here and my Brother who is the expert is on the other side of the nation so I might not have this correct.
It could be any of those issues. Either way, that thing needs to visit the shop soon, to bad they think maintaining their fleet cuts to much into their profits, because stuff like this is getting way to common!
Some of them are logistics, i.e, more power used to go west than east (or vice-versa)... many of them are moving older Dash9s... like this one, presumably for disposition.
I don't think so. Since their season began, and the trains started to roll through Revi, I've noticed them being really long, and practically empty of people. You can really notice how empty when they roll though later in evenings and the lights are on inside and you can see that easier.
7:39 How about that, a diesel engine "identifying" as a coal powered steam engine. It should get its own letter in the alphabet soup of LGBTQ whatever. LOL
