Railroad Motorcar Coming Into Chamberlian South Dakota

[dvoeltz]

Actually, this video is taken on the portion of the line from east of the Missouri River bridge going into Chamberlain. The bridge shown is SD50. I was on this motorcar run and was about 5 cars behind Roger who took this video. We had to conduct a switch back move to clear the yard and continue east.

Dave in Pierre, SD

2:02 WHAT IS THAT?

Caused by heat expansion?

Love your videos

Please make more.

Amazed that you have a train horn!

Are these wheels insulated so that they do not shunt the track and illegally activate grade crossing signals?

Nice, my dad worked on this Rail Road years ago, too bad they shut it down

@AlexCrawdad123

They did not shut it down. In fact, it recently came under new ownership and will undergo further rehabilitation.

Woah! Nice sun kink!!

[jschmid]

[jrkepler]

Wow is that really a DD40 at 2:28? I thought they were all scrapped. How old is this?

[fullglottalstop]

@jrkepler

It is or was used for parts.

[McMike321]

so is this a shortline???

[syncplay]

I wonder if that old UP Centennial DDA40 could make it through that kink.
