HiDef: 7/8/10 - Chasing BNSF's Warren Buffett officer special

[bobberfie]

ha I had the 7656 as a bad order on a Z train a few months ago and I had to set it out Kansas City.

[BNSF9192]

@bobberfie Well, that's interesting. I was shocked that they stuck an older unit in the lead.

[bobberfie]

@BNSF9192

Its not that old, they don't really care when it was built but BNSF does tend to get their shorts creamed over these newer motors.

[BNSF9192]

@bobberfie True. But the newer ones always get BNSF into a good "mood".  Just to show off to everyone else. That's why I was kind of surprised.

[bobberfie]

@BNSF9192

They mustve had a new one on earlier and it took a shit lol.

One thing theyre deffinately good at is showing off like anyone really gives a flyin fuck, thats what UP used to do and they learned not to do that, but I guess when your main office is in Fort Worthless you get retards like this.

[BNSF9192]

@bobberfie lol, probably!

Yeah, that's very true. I mean, UP does do a good amount of "showing off" still. I'm sure you have a lot more experience with all this, so I know you're sure of your word. I've heard a good amount of good and bad comments though.

[bobberfie]

@BNSF9192

Haha oh yeah. It really all depends on who you talk to. We were doin good from once I started then we started getting stupid and then stupider. I think we're finally getting smart again, kinda like going in a circle.

[globalintermodal]

Happy Birthday Warren! Pete

[bnsfben1]

Wow, I am surprised that they didn't run a SD70ACe and a Gevo. I am surprised to see the "older" paint scheme up front!

[BNSF9192]

@bnsfben1 As long as the GEVO leads, I'm fine lol. They probably didn't have any other power to use that was GOOD.

@BNSF9192 sd40-2s rock old boy.

[pwalpar]

awesome video

[BNSF9192]

@pwalpar Thanks. 

[DJGENEX71]

Dayum that's one heck of a bump in the tracks @ 1:29!!! I saw dust fly up when they hit it and the locos bounced way up!!! Is 7375 a brand new unit? Looks really nice!

Great catch!!! Thumbs up!!!

[bnsfben1]

I was just going to say that! I have not seen a engine bounce like that in a while.

[DJGENEX71]

@bnsfben1 That was almost 'scary' the way it hit that spot and bounced like that!

[BNSF9192]

@DJGENEX71 Yeah, the track can be real bad. It's the 2nd to the newest. The newest are the 7800 series.

[basicbill1]

Good stuff!

[BNSF9192]

@basicbill1 Sure was! Thanks Bill.

[heelblocks]

Nice Video Max! Also, Its not Sill Illinois, It is Mermet Springs Illinois I believe. Very Cool Catch! I Will get my video up later :)

[BNSF9192]

@heelblocks Very cool. I changed it now because I wasn't sure about it. It was a really nice catch and I have to thank Mr. Anderson for the great info! Can't wait to see your video.

[grits3d]

Dangit, that was about 3 blocks from my house, and I had no idea. I need to get out more. Thanks much for the video.

[trainsruleandroll]

(long whistle) damn thats a mighty fine catch there Max! love the crisp and clean DC's on the point!

[BNSF9192]

@trainsruleandroll The DC trailing was nice...as for the leader..a little dirty. It was quite the catch, yes.

[SF3751]

Good gosh thats some rough track you guys got up there lol

[BNSF9192]

@SF3751 Oh yes, but it's fun seeing these trains bounce over them.

[CQDX018]

Nice catch, Max. I got him as the O-PADKCM through Litchfield about 10:00 at night headed back to KC. Nice shots.

[BNSF9192]

@CQDX018 Thanks Kevin. Yeah, it was a cool train to see.

[IC1034]

Great catch there.

[BNSF9192]

@IC1034 Yupp, sure was!

[coryrusch]

[BNSF9192]
