Very long freight train. It is common to see long Freight trains in North America. So shut your engines if you are waitting for freight train to pass.

It depends where the train is crossing :P

In a city near the yard they have a speed limit they have to slow down to but out in the open tracks they get alone pretty fast ^_^

[POON3345]

Yep they do have to slow down near any city yards because they are a lot more traffic going in and out usually.

I like highball-fast, and I also love a very slow roaring lash-up of motive power, struggling to pull a hill (especially in a place like Tehachapi Loop, here in the mountains of Southern California). Come to think of it, I guess as long as it's a freight train... then that's what I like. :)

I love the slow trains. Very cool vid!

Thanks, to tell you the truth, I'll take 55 MPH over 10 MPH, anything over 18 or 19 MPH works for me.

Awsome consist. He was going a little fast at the beginning. The thing about meets here ALL the crossings in the town get blocked.

[VespineVid2]

dang he was slow! You guys are lucky CN has left some of your old crossing equipment alone. Everything up here (on main lines at least) has electronic bells, and there are very few without gates.

[ic6071]

Yep, but CN has changed quite a few crossings out. There is this one dirt road just east of Freeport that had only crossbucks for protection, and now has lights, gates, and bells. There is a vid of it on here somewhere.

[LenaVideos]

Theres one out side of Lena about 5, 6, 7 miles that has been distroyed.

[skrailfan]

That bells gonna be electronic soon, if all the trains are that slow it will wear out the mechanical one.
