I am not talking for every Railfan out there, But I enjoy seeing something on the tracks. IE Maintenance of way equipment working, Sperry rail Service, or even a rail laying crew dropping rail. I enjoy the days I set along side the tracks talking with other Railfans and watching what goes by. Lets go Sperry Rail Service and Thank you for keeping the rails safe.

@Kishanth.J 13 дней назад

For me rail maintenance vehicles are some of the coolest rail vehicles.

@1121494 13 дней назад

@@Kishanth.J Yeah. Seeing maintenance vehicles is something way more rare than regular rolling stock, and usually reserved for the night hours, while train services go at least every hour each at minimum. Do Foamers really randomly pick defunct alignments to wait for a train to show up? Maybe also using trains as passenger yourself could help you be more familiar with knowing and identifying active lines around you. I mean, those tracks appear to not even be electrified yet, of course it's not going to see much activity!

@sethcampbellmusic 11 дней назад

Same here, they’re a pretty rare catch.

@B-and-O-Operator-Fairmont 17 дней назад

Ed King once had an article in Trains Magazine called "The Damn Sperry Car". He wrote about how the presence of the Sperry Car would tie things up big time. Of course, he recognized the importance of the service, but many times had to deal with the effects as both a tower operator and dispatcher.

I don’t hate that truck

@Paul070 12 дней назад

As a 30 retired freight conductor I would have to say I loved seeing Sperry cars. They made me lots of money And kept me safe!

@ToddWerner-vp3vc 15 дней назад

And the Sperry Car personnel (and many railroaders) hate railfans!

@kens.3729 17 дней назад

Thanks for the video and for Describing the Big Yellow Sperry Truck. It’s good to know a Lot of Efforts is being made to keep things safe on the Rails. 👍🙏

@SRN42069 15 дней назад

I love this truck actually makes me happy to know the railroad cares about the safety of the tracks and that we'll see trains on that track for years to come. Because i'd rather not see a derailment and close the line down for good.

@jjxtwo1 15 дней назад

Hate them? That's kind of crazy. I'm always glad to see whatever comes down the tracks. You just might learn something new.

@AlRoderick 15 дней назад

I recognized the name Sperry so I looked up its provenance and my theory was correct. The same Elmer Sperry who founded this company created the gyro compass, And his company would outlive him to create a lot of amazing electromechanical devices that were used in world war II. Like the famous Sperry ball turret on the bottom of the B-17.

@quagmiredavis4117 13 дней назад

These trucks help keep Big Boy alive and rolling with that massive weight and today's Freight cutting possibility of a derailment its awesome the flaws they catch .. no complaints here .. awesome video thanks for posting 😊 👍

@MetraBNSF 17 дней назад

Great info on the Sperry truck. We had seen one of them about a month and a half ago on the BNSF Chicago Sub (“racetrack”)

@captaincreditor8293 16 дней назад

Nice VIA catch!

@turkeytrac1 15 дней назад

As a lot of railfans are also model railroaders, one could model this and use it to disrupt a operation session. I'm never upset to Sperry doing their job, or any of the many rail grinding operations making every thing safe.

@Kaiserkalthesocalrailfan 17 дней назад

Really awesome work

@bc5441 15 дней назад

Thanks! Nice to see the VIA train and the former UP business car on the tail of the Amtrak consist. It was a nice surprise to see a Santa Fe blue-and-yellow warbonnet in June 2024. I grew up in UP territory and I remember seeing the railroad-owned hi-rail vehicles that were converted GM Suburbans. This was in the era of the Sperry Railcar that was doodlebug sized, and I don’t think I ever saw one. Had I been older I would have at least known what to watch and what to look for in the yard I would visit.

@ACLTony 14 дней назад

I miss seeing the classic Sperry Rail cars, but these modern Hy-Rail trucks are also eye-catching as well.

@maestromecanico597 16 дней назад

Promontory Point is the peninsula that sticks out into the Great Salt Lake. The joining of the transcon in 1869 happened well north at Promontory, aka Promontory Summit. Promontory Point DID get the transcon in 1904 with the completion of the Lucin Cutoff. All this and more may be learnt with a trip to the Golden Spike National Historical Park, just five miles away from the middle of nowhere (or so they told me).

@Phorhesa 9 дней назад

Thanks For Setting the record straight, Yes Promontory Summit it the correct place that the Golden Spike Was Installed.

@randomchaos5139 12 дней назад

I'm glad the Houston cams are back. Just hours before Hurricane Beryl I was at the Sampson street crossing and I videoed a grain train with one grainger with the "White Ninja" painted on the side of the fifth grainer. Rare to find, another RU-vid Guy in Pennsylvania catches them often. It's in my last video on my channel if you wanna see.

@Rickybnsf 15 дней назад

5:48 I recall seeing that trainset come through Griffith, IN (downstream on the CSX Elsdon Sub) I don't have a picture to look at but I think it stayed on the Elsdon Sub to Griffith where it joined the CN South Bend Sub to go to Canada. Great recap!

@TexasCat99 14 дней назад

Watching Japanese train videos (from the passenger train) has excellent views of the country, mountains, tunnels, rivers. But it's amusing that on some routes, there 1~5 railfans at stations and rail crossings taking pictures. Some of their pedestrian crossings have bars that come down. try in: Aunz railfan rural to start. There isn't many such videos from USA trains in comparison. PS: This video on the yellow truck is neat, showing the defects of the rail etc. Cheaper than having a derailment.

@NWORails 13 дней назад

As a railfan, I do not hate those. But it does pause rail traffic, which is kind of irritating because I'm very limited on time.

@qapla 9 дней назад

Nice catch with the Sperry truck. Good explanation of what it was doing and how it works. Nice mention of the Pulman car on the Amtrak train at the end of the video - although, it would have been nice if you would have explained/described why it was pushing backwards and where it was going.

@parsonsba 11 дней назад

I used to drive one of those and maintain the testing system components. Had a chief almost rip the carriage off one time while he was setting us off. That was a fun repair.

@emknapp6713 День назад

Don’t worry the feeling is mutual…. We don’t care to see rail fans photographing us while we work or even worse trying to board the equipment to get a peek inside. Otherwise this was a very informative video. 17 years running the Yellow Bus of Death, as the Pittsburgh East Dispatcher calls it, and I even learned something from it. Even featured two units I have ran … 756 before the upgrade and 859.

The Golden Spike ceremony on May 10, 1869 was held at Promontory SUMMIT, not Point, which is the spit of land that sticks out into the Great Salt Lake, and was never a point on the original transcontinental railroad.

@car_tar3882 12 дней назад

It’s weird they use a rail truck, at metro they use a ,modified rail car which I believe allows closer to line speed, I think they can run alongside revenue service.

That "current generation" of ford "truck" doesnt even belong on the highway much less disgracing railways with its presence too. I think the only people who dont hate those things are mechanics that get paid hourly to service them.

@user-gf3mu5uc8j 12 дней назад

Hating this is like saying I hate Doctors. I would of thought rail fans would like most aspects of the machinery that is used for maintenance. Unless there are some sick and twisted people who like actually seeing derailments happen.

Sperry is a world wide company. Others like Herzog, Dapco, Hollan and others are vital. There are companies that inspect and analyze ties too. Geometry trains are interesting too.
