I love it, I like to stand too close and feel the thunder and wind. Dangerous though, hard to jump out of the way of a "Z"!
At Rochelle one day, the UP was dragging SIX new units in the consist behind the lead engines, all consecutive, while I with all my stupidy just stood there with my hands in my pockets. Camera was there and I was talking to others at the site. Dumb, leave the camera on and edit later!
I wonder if train locomotives have that new car smell to them??? I'd be willing to bet the crew on board left the first farts behind. LOL The pile of old ties looked almost dangerously close to the tracks, especially that one long piece towards the top. As always, a great video!

Cool! I caught 6369 leading that train today in Brookfield. Freight traffic was slow as hell!

That six new in a row must have been something to see. Thanks for watching and the comment.
