Really nice catch, Walter... That was one monster of an autorack train. Those Auto Max cars look like hotel buildings on rails. As always, enjoyed very much.

Origination is Toyota Westlake, off Pritchard Road, north of NS Simpson Yard...I build 90% of 27W's leaving Jax for Princeton...GJ-22 Conductor...out

[pwalpar]

Thanks Bradley for the info, I didn't know where it originated

Great Catch! Always liked those long mainline autorack trains. The 1s I've seen frm CSX in South Central, FL are between 15-25 cars lol;-)

[pwalpar]

Thank You Eric

Hey Daniel, Thanks:-)

[yurysausage]

sweet shot , all the shaded and not shaded effect looked really cool

[pwalpar]

Thanks Eric, it sure confuses my automatic focus LOL

Wiesz jaka jest różnica wysokosci wagonów auto-max a auto-carrier?

Widać okiem ze  wyzszy jest o wysokosc dachu.

Czy kontenerowce sa jeszcze wyzsze?

[pwalpar]

Moja pamięć jest trochę słaba, ale myślę, że jest około 21 metrów wysokości. Drabina nie przejść całą drogę na szczyt. Drzwi otwarte i koniec slajdów za drabiny więc ludzie mogą climp się boku i odchylające wokół, by dostać się do trzeciego pokładu. Pamiętam, że zawsze mnie trochę zdenerwowany wspiąć się tam, gdy miałem iść, a prace nad samochodami.

Another great video. Are those rack loaded or empty?

[pwalpar]

Tony, I suspect they are empty since the train is northbound, and I cant think of any assembly plants south of me. My guess is empty. Thanks for watching

[crazyjay1975]

walter you should upgrade to a high def camera. i just got a jvc 1080p hdz500 from brandsmart for 398 dollars.it looks so much better than standard definition.

[pwalpar]

Thanks for the advice Jason, It is on my wish list for now LOL

[portobellotent]

Thanks, great colour and amazing sound! Nearly as good as being right there. Just a bit far from London, UK !

[pwalpar]

Thanks my friend, I appreciate you having been here to see it

[saintjohnrailfan]

Nice catch! How many trains a day does that line see? Seems like a nice spot with different railways going through it.

[pwalpar]

Just the NS goes thru maybe 20 or 25 trains, Just a guess though

[canvids1]

Walter the 2011 auto sales must be pretty good in North America.

Nice long Auto carrier train.

Wonder if my truck was on that train !

[pwalpar]

LOL Thanks Wayne, It may have been a load of Japane imports New truck on the way buddy

[JgordonAmtrak1]

Dang flying, nice vid, Good k5la on that D9 alot of racks, just like 27A A train that comes this way

[pwalpar]

Thank you Jeffery :-)

[pwalpar]

Thanks Mike, you are quite correct, it is A siding which only opens to the mainline in A southerly direction aproximately half mile from where I was making the video. You obviously A very perceptive individual. Holy High iron, I must remember that expression, LOL
