Years ago I lived in Flagstaff with my roomates on the south side of the tracks. I worked downtown on the north side. I usually walked to work and if my timing was off, I'd have to wait while the passenger train was at the station. It was long enough to block two street crossings. It got mighty chilly waiting in the winter time! Thanks for bringing back memories. I agree, this is a great video!
The strongest locos are the electro locos of the iron ore train from Kiruna Sweden to Narwik Norway. Their engines have more than 11 000 KW or nearly 15 000 hp. They pull the heaeviest trains, not the longest ones.
dude, this is gotta be one of my fav train videos on here !! i'd love to come to Flagstaff, AZ to the same spot where u shoot these 2 monster BSNF's. but its a 32 hour & 55 mintute drive sadly = ( = (
no in retrospect they would agree with you but during the "event" they deem it very likely they can "make it" but there miscalculation is what gets them killed... but I really liked the double arm crossing on each side of the intersection! I think that is the design that will denture the majority of people from trying to drive under the crossing hahaha though some may still try!...
Hail from JSC Russian Railways! I'm a system administrator from one of the depots of South Russia. You have really powerful locomotives. I have a question: why do you often use diesel power, is electrical too expensive? We use diesel locomotives in manuever works, in passengers and freight trains it is used very seldom.
4 head end, 3 middle, and 2 or 3 rear engines. Very common in that area for that size train. I would be surprised if the 4th engine on the head end was actually cut in and working. If i remember my rulebook right, its too much power for the head end forces. BTW, they are now running a lot of 150car intermodal trains out of LA now.
That railroad crpssing was so far the cpolest, i heard. ;) poor people that had to wait at this crossing, that had to wait for the two trains. to them it's probably an anxiety, while to us it's an awesome show.
same ol gs type ones ahh hey i guess the horn ban fell through the cracks cool that or bnsf flagstaff to F off anyways great video dpu in the middle wow nice meet too also when did bnsf put concret ties there
Two words best describes this video: Lucky Bastard. Man, not only seeing one massive freight train, but two. Wow great catch man. Keep up the good work.
Holy moly, if you weren't late for work then you are now! No wonder so many people car their cars mashed in the States trying to get the jump on these behemoths😳 I think they were a mile long each?!
Oh my god!!!I wish I could get Freight Trains like those up where I live!!!I also love those engines and BNSF is a great company.I've never seen a BNSF train here before.I mostly get CSX and Norfolk Southern.2 monsters are the greatest at anytime.You are one lucky person!!!
