Oh man the only thing that would have made this video any better is if the first train did a "shave and a haircut" and the other did the "two bits" part :)
That's a fantastic catch and a great video, well done. I'm coming to America when i retire in a few years, what i would give to come upon a scene like this eh!
@PotentialDifference1 - It's called distributed power. Basically it helps keep the slack out of the train and makes it more efficient. The engineer can actually control that rear engine remotely. It's very common on our trains in the Midwest, especially on the UP.
wow!! great vid,u where lucky not only to see this, but that the train on the left was going faster or you might not have been able to see both trains!!
The mixed freight had the advantage because it had two units, it was more aerodynamic, and had the inside curve. But I doubt the last two would make much of a difference.
Couple of years ago this kid was walking past the station here from American High School, got hit and killed by the train. Kids that saw it said they saw his backpack fly up into the air and soar away.
Excellent!! That was the MSJRV and something else, possibly one of the "K" trains. The MSJRV came north out of the Newark yard, and the intermodal came south from Carter.

The one in the left did cheat. He did change of railroad. By the way, this thing, you can find them only on the Republic of the United States.

Can you imagine what the conversation between the train crews was?
Intermodal train-"Ha! I'm beating you!"
Mixed frieght-"No, I'm BEATING you!"
Intermodal train-"I'm a hotshot, my load is lighter and I'm STILL BEATING you!"
Mixed frieght-"I'm stronger than you; your train is nothing but a candy-ass forwardier."
Intermodal train-"Jealous crybaby."
Mixed frieght-"Stuck-up pansy!"
