CSX Fast Freight Zooming Through Riverdale Park

[EnjoyFirefighting]

quite an average speed for our freight trains

[GayBoyRunning]

I've seen diesel locos that are smaller & have longer freight cars then this & still go faster then this HA

[JakeAmick]

Throw rocks at!

[trains1129]

no bad



[campolicejeff]

To see some beautifully-maintained stock and a nice clean ROW, search on "trains Japan".

[7855waldo]

@campolicejeff - Yeah, but problem is, now they're all glowin' in the dark!

[mjet401bnsf]

hello sir i was wondering if i could use your sound in one of my ho vids so you do not get mad at me please send back

[Tex5x5]

Fast? You gotta be kidding. LOL.

[howardkevinm]

Freights usually dont go fast to protect their cargo.

[iJandiN2727]

Holy Crap!!! I never knew old locomotives go that fast.

[prorobo]

Holy crap that thing was hauling the mail!

[mjet401bnsf]

what kind of horn

[drivethrubuddha]

Sadly, with the economy the way it is, CSX's train lengths have drastically shrunk.

[charlieb640]

Just about everyone's train length (or frequency) has dropped dramatically.

It'll come back though. Eventually.

[danka2000]

Yeah, but now with the economy growing again, it is likely they are longer again.

[Thenews72]

Wow, fast train, kinda dangerouse. all the tank cars in the front, and some in the middle, if he crashes,.....

[Boss302fan]

Help me out a bit here "thenews". Why are tankcars up front more dangerous than say a boxcar? Why are tank cars in the middle dangerous than lets say a load of scrap?

[bennoach]

Tank cars carry liquid chemicals that are sometimes flammable, combustible, poisonous, corrosive, and explosive.

[bnohogger]

Freight Train Max Speed is 50. Intermodal can run 60 on CSX. I'd say that's close to 50. Nice video!

[healydj]

Yep, that's quick - thanks for posting!

[GP30RDMT]

That's a 50 mph train on 55 mph track. It looks like barely 50.

[RamapoValleyRR]

thats nothing compared to the riverline they go up to atleast 70 but great vid 5 stars

[hhp664]

Riverline where???? Not the ex conrail riverline north jersey to selkirk.. Not even close lucky to see 50mph there.

[MCaperoon]

Wow that train was moving

[railfanmike]

thats one of the rare examples of a CSX elephant style lashup!!! nice video

[ThirdRail7]

I used to live near there. That's 410/East West highway bridge above, right?

[bubba2781]

Sure is. Beautiful down town Riverdale MD.

[CSXEMDSD40]

That guy is really hauling a..

[xxxDeath9572xxx]

wow hes really flying all right the units on this train werent very common were they? i've thruthfully seen CSX trains going about 60 mph in my area its pretty common for that speed notice how the middle unit was all clean compared to the SD 50's nice video again dude i know how that feels when its like a tornado!!

[norfolkdash9]

Jeeze! How can you stand so close??

[bubba2781]

It is a little scary sometimes. We were as far back on the platform as we could get. Sometimes you can't tell how fast they are going until they are right next to you.

[norfolkdash9]

Yeah, thats true, and in the beginning I hear," Doo doo do."

[bubba2781]

Thanks, this train was really like a wind storm going by. It should pass your way before dark most nights right now. I caught this one at 7:45PM at the speed he was going he would be in Brunswick by 9!

[GaithersburgRail]

Nice job.
