A pair of CP 2010 Olympic ES44AC's and an SD40-2 pull a stack and some autoracks through Finch Ontario Canada headed to Montreal. Listen to that K5HLL horn echo!! Enjoy!! Winchester Rail Productions
I like trains a lot and I have train tracks near my home and when I hear the alarm go off I run outside and look at the train it is always the brightline
I was a conductor-engineer for CP running out of Roberts Bank to North Bend, and let me tell you, throttling up to notch 8 and letting a container train pull as hard as it can was definitely a COOL ride!
You're not the only one! Watching them reminds me of when I used to live in West Virginia, and watch the Norfolk Southern and Norfolk Western trains pass by.
Wrong, it still hasn't stopped. It still has at least a dozen years left, at most an eternity. With how fast it's going, there is a chance it will never stop.
You should see the (rare) English freight trains, they aren't as long or as tall and only require 1 locomotive and they are stretched as close as they can go to the limits that the passenger trains run at so you can see class 66s pounding through Harrow and Wealdstone at 75-90 mph as a Virgin Trains high speed Pendolino service passes through at 125 mph.
Mumpy Fumperkins I don't know what mood you're in but I could make an educated guess at what mood you *could* be in by how aggressive you are in your comments.
Mumpy Fumperkins There is a slight chance that I *could* guess your mood. Therefore my above reply is valid. Anyways, I'm going to mute this post now because I don't think this conversation is going anywhere. I hope you have a better day tomorrow :) I'm also muting the post too. have fun :D
packingten Yeah but passenger trains weigh nothing compared to freight trains which are often 200-260 Tons per car, and passenger trains always have the highest quality smooth, continuous welded rails.
@@trainsmusicandmore877 correct. When I traveled from D.C. to Montana, the rails were good all the way except around northern Minnesota where it goes to CP Rail. That was about 100miles of sectional track.
Very cool! I try to get as close as possible without freaking out the engineers. Although moving at that speed there is so much that could go horribly wrong with respect to debris and air currents. Thanks for sharing!
I love this video. Very dramatic buildup with the long lens shot. Detector "voice" is a nice touch. This train looks as if it's doing at least 65 mph. It actually appears to pick up speed from the time the engines pass the camera until the last auto rack clears the crossing.
These double stacks are possible in USA because of terrain and because railways usually owns land around track so there is no problem tom move bridges and other obstacles, impossible in Europe or UK
Conor Walker no kidding here were i live i was talking to some of the BNSF workers and some of the trains we get here are about 2 1/2 miles long with about 4 to 6 locos
I counted (10) 89 ft. long auto racks that took 11 seconds to pass the camera. Simple math provides the answer that this train was travelling at an approximate speed of 55.16 miles per hour (88.77 kilometers per hour).
My old man worked as a brakeman on the old ATSF and he said the engineer would reduce throttle back approaching a crossing and then accelerate once clear. You can definitely notice that here.
Lumber trains used to go through Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, years ago. You could get stuck waiting for a half hour or more. I don't know if they still take that long.
By looking directly at the approaching train , there in no way to judge its speed. This video is a perfect example. The Locomotive just seems to loom in the distance, then all at once it's upon you. Great footage Thank you.
It definitely looks like it's rolling at 80 mph or faster! I rode with my father as a kid and loved standing on a Locomotive, feeling that power under my feet!
Only a brave soul or a fool would stand that close to that much weight going by at that speed. The ground must have felt like a paint shaker. Great video. Thank you.
***** No it isn't cold for somebody from Canada or Siberia because you people are use to it. On the flip side, if you came down here for a summer, and had to be outside a lot you probably would find it very uncomfortable due to the high heat (up to 45C) long summers up to 9 months high humidity being near the water. It can be dangerous, especially for elderly people. Must drink a lot of water
WOW!! there's a man on a mission...he's not stopping for anyone or anything soon. I want that house @ 0.20 then I can watch the trains all day every day, thing is I don't think my wife would agree.
CN and CP are the two main Canadian Railways that cross the nation coast to coast. That is a great distance, so speed is a given on main lines. Canadians are somewhat proud of both, and the locomotive liveries are both exceptionally attractive. CN locos are red and black with an angular white stripe between .... a very nice combination. Passenger rail years were their best looking efforts in the Super Continental consist of those days.
Obviously a mainline track. Would love to know if that track is cleared for 70 mph??? That is what I timed it out as. That thing were to derail it would not stop flying all over the place for 10 mins. WOW!
The permitted maximum speed on the winchester subdivision is 60 mph. There are slow orders, both permanent and temporary. Prudent engineer's run the train at 58 mph while passing this scanner.
@@JebbAdams ya were max 60 per at CN. Passenger 80 though. Crazy when you go out to inspect via and they rip by at 80. Cant really inspect much at that speed Haha
most deaths happen at low speed since people don't realise that they take ages to stop even at low speed and how, unlike a car, there is no give. I've known people to be struck with just a glancing blow at under 15mph and get killed outright
Judging by the axle count, it was pulling 76 cars. Total reported 322 axles, subtract 6 axles per loco, x3 locos, leaves 304 axles, divided by 4 axles per car.
This is normal in Germany. Here freight trains 100 km / h (62 mph). A regional web 140 km / h (87 mph), a regional express 160km / h (99 mph), an S-Bahn also 160km / h (99 mph). An Inter City 200 km / h (124 mph) and an InterCity Express 300km / h (186 mph). From Hamburg to Munich, we only need about 6 hours. The 834 kilometers (518.22 miles).
It does not matter how fast a train is. I wanted to tell you that the trains are in Germany very soon just once. The cars here that are here really fast on the highway. ^^
German trains are fast. Incredible. But they are also very low tonnage. It would take many German trains to move the same amount of freight as an average US / Canadian / Mexican train. Just a different way to railroad. German trains in general run over government owned tracks and have to meet very very strict schedules. Distances are short and they make the move very very quickly. A 834 mile movement in the US on the other hand is considered short and the train may way 15 thousand tons.
I'm not sure there is a perfect railroad. What is perfect for European tax supported short haul railroads is not the best for free enterprise long haul operations of US, Canada, Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, etc. They have different roles based on population, taxation, tonnage moved, etc. but I do see what you're getting at.
Boss302fan Hey, Boss. What's up? There may not be a perfect railroad but Warren, outside Mojave is my perfect railroad watching spot. Going back in April. Long-ass drive. Gonna take 395 south this time instead of 99. Stop at Death Valley and shit. Sure, the Tehachapi Loop and Cajon (or is it Tejon?) Pass may be better but it's a bitch to camp there w/a fire and dirt bikes and shit. My place is a quick 10 minute dirt bike ride into Mojave for resupply. I once rode a tiny Honda QA50 Shriner mini bike to town one late night for a 12 pack...with no lights! It was so hot and windy I drank 3 on the trip back. My 2 camp mates were pissed! I shoulda (and coulda) got a case! 12 miles round trip. It's amazing what semi-lethal amounts of drugs and alcohol makes a person capable of!
Trains running in snow. Always loved this scene. Thanks for uploading now I got to look up a video how to program my Uniden scanner. It's a really old one but I really bought it for NOAA weather. I want to hear trains. Yeah!!!!!!!!!!
Wouldn't catch me standing that close at that speed. If it happened to be one of those rare occurrences that it decided to leave the track for whatever reason, you'd be screwed because you wouldn't be able to get away fast enough. That would suck.
Yes more risk there until the thing derails or something is dragging. Even the old timers knew better than to stand close. No way you can get away to safety.
In the USA corpret America opted to not update rail service because it doesn't sell enough tires trucks fuel exact. Same reason why H Ford and Firestone bought up all the trolley cars and provided them with busses. too late to fix the damage they did.
duallydriver2 as a semi driver, we need to train properly or get rid of some of our bad drivers. our industry needs to get alot better , so i understand where you are coming from
Wow! 2 Olympic units? Now, there is only one left, as CP scratched the paint off of the most of them. I recently caught the last CP Olympic unit (8876) Leading a grain train west at Calgary. Nice catch!
