It is always a sight seeing a train on the BNSF Southern Transcon. The clips shown in this video are from the Amtrak platform in La Plata, Missouri along the BNSF Marceline Subdivision. Many of the Westbound high priority intermodal ‘Z’ trains seen last week during the unofficial La Plata rail celebration are shown in this compilation video. All clips shown were recorded with a tripod and my iPhone. Some of the clips have been recorded while zoomed-out, giving that “fisheye” and close to the train look. It is always a treat Railfanning with kind folks like the ones that were gathered this past week. Especially when trains like this run at track speed. Thanks for watching, I hope that you enjoy the speedy action.

It amazes me that so many railfans feel the need to stand right to the edge of the track to get their videos. One of these days one will get clobbered by something flying off. As an engineer, seeing stuff like this drives me nuts.

@walterfink9782 8 месяцев назад

I agree. Standing that close to a train traveling faster than a crawl, can be dangerous to one's health. What would happen, if an object flew out from the train, and headed right at you? Or worse, the train were to derail, right in your direction? Chances are, your friends and family would be answering these questions. Because you would be seriously injured or worse, killed immediately!

@MatthewTheRailfanner 8 месяцев назад

Railfan here, and I can assure you there are some common sense railfans out there, including myself. I usually take 25 steps from the rail back and that's where I'll usually be positioned. Common sense unfortunately isn't common among the community

Im a railfan and i know everybodys different but for me standing at the yellow line ( when im not taking pics or videos ) the rush i get standing that close while a train is flying past is just unexplainable. I fuckin love it

If there is any kind of strap or other free floating object flying around the side of one of those cars, you’re DEAD. I’ve seen a loose metal strap put a dent in a signal hut before. Geez. 🙄

@CentralGeorgiaRailfan8051 Месяц назад

A several million pound object flying past you at interstate speeds is something else, but what's even crazier is why you feel the need to stand so close to it??? If you'd like a close up shot just zoom in

@coverwatch 2 месяца назад

Great video mate! We don't have freight trains going this fast in my country, so that was certainly a sight to see. I'm not going to argue about standing too close to the rails but I believe that the sound of rails are muffled by the intense wind wake created by the train due to your proximity to the rails. I would have loved to hear the rail seam sounds on this speed but all I can hear is "whooosh-whoooosh" :D

@southernNMRail-Refuse18 8 дней назад

I’m surprised no one got sucked into the train with the speed and wind if they were THAT close. For train crews that’s the most Nail Biting thing of all is seeing someone less than 10 feet from the tracks going 70 mph. I can see why the railroad has a hatred for “foamers” or “rail photographers” since everyone is considered as one now.

@ToddReuterOutdoors 9 месяцев назад

I’m not sure why people stand so close trackside to trains like this. If that trail derails, you’ll be gone before you know what hit you. Those 53 foot well cars are going by at the blink of an eye.

@KTRFP 9 месяцев назад

If a train were to derail at track-speed, the entire area and any people would be gone. It wouldn't really matter how far back on the platform we were standing. I will agree with you that I was pretty close in a couple of the clips, but for the most part it was just the tripod that was extremely close to the Z trains.

@SKYKOP1972 7 месяцев назад

@@KTRFP If you're within 30 feet or less of a train moving 70 MPH, you won't even have time to flinch before whatever the train kicks up from the roadbed or whatever flies off the train goes right through you. That station is built all too close to those tracks.

No offense buddy but here in RU-vid land I want you to live. Please do not stand that close again. If ANY small thing popped out or protruded in any way which happens often, at that speed, you probably would not survive. Please be more careful with your life. Your life is worth Far more than the Money shot. Thank you.

@sachvatal100 4 месяца назад

When you're out there filming or photographing trains, you need to do a better job in keeping a safe distance from the tracks. On some of the reels you got a little too close and that's how a rail fanner got killed in Henderson, Colorado on July 21, 2018.

@user-ut4so1vy3b 4 месяца назад

but why these videos sound fake, i mean i can't believe that train is that fast

@KTRFP 4 месяца назад

Track speed through here is 70 MPH for allowed trains. I believe that 72.9 is the limit for penalty braking through PTC. iPhone camera may have also enhanced the speed a bit due to the zoomed out view. Trains like these pass every day on the BNSF transcon.
