nice video. i watched nearly every video on youtube for diesel trains like BNSF, AMTRAK etc and those trains are massive compare to ours in britain! lol im now a big fan of these american style trains :)
@charlieb640 It certainly is a great place and I have run quite a few trains for GWA over the years. I have a clip "2AC1" which was shot a while back on one of their jobs. 2AC1 is the train number. 2=the day Monday. from A= Adelaide to C = Cootumundra and 1 is a number for train type and speed. A tad different to your system of using the lead unit number.
@charlieb640 When I see train after train after train on some of your main lines I see justification for an overhead supply. Rough terrain and elements are encountered in many places like Switzerland and Japan but they use electric traction. I agree that stringing the wire clean across the continent would be a folly. But there are a a number of places that it would be of enormous benefit.....Tehachapi and Cajone for instance. Imagine the value of the regeneration there. Oil is a finite resource.
@charlieb640 Now making a comparison between electricity supplied from overhead or a diesel generating set is drawing a very long bow. That overhead supply can come from coal, hydro, thermal, wind, solar, gas, oil, nuclear and most wonderfully from the trains going down the hill that are regenerating back into the supply. Diesel locomotives win out in areas where the traffic is not high enough to justify the cost of electrification. Smart operators with heavy traffic use overhead.
as an engineer,,, and speakin of the 7506,, if my road foreman wanted me to stop, and talk with him... I would been sweatin. In fact just him callin me woulda made my heart sink. no matter if I did wrong or not!!! Notice the long response time...... lol Poor guy!!
@railblazer82 It's interesting the difference in attitudes around the world. I have been a road foreman. The drivers in my company were and still are a protected species. The union defends them to the point of stupidity. Being a foreman was a waste of time and in the end the union got rid of us and had special class drivers appointed to oversee their mates. A bit like the kids keeping watch on the candy store. I retired from full time work and now work part time as a driver again. It's a breeze.
i wished i lived in california becase here in oklahoma we mostly have west bound trains dilivering stacks threw tulsa ok tulsa now is a q zone uoinion pacfic swiches in tulsa
US underestimates the trains. They need to upgrade the rails and the start to install electricity lines... Another reason for why this country thirsts immensly for oil.
Its usually not this busy. During week days it doesn't get busy like this. There'a coffee/ie cream/food place as you cross the bridge to the left side.
Wow! And I thought the line through Winoka was busy! I don't live around amtrak or metro link so I wonder why do they put the locos on the back of the commuter trains? and whats the diffrence between amtrak and amtrak california? Also I think that last train on the vid is way under powered. I don't think it'll make it up a 0.5% with 8 locos. LOL! just kidding
they have the engines in the back because there in push mode.when they go south the engine is in front. there's no Y track to switch the engines around so the engine will push. the last car is a cab car. that where they control the train when in push mode. I dont know the different between Amtrak California and Amtrak.I think Amtrak California is like a commuter train and Amtrak is like long traips like the Coast Starlight or Southwest chief. I'm not 100% sure. hope this helps!
never seen a crew change at the depot before or a food run that was cool you get all the good stuff last time i was there all i got was some dude jerkin off in the restroom LOL wich was cool cause he was wanted in mexico for shooting a cop
it wasn't a crew change. one train dropped off a crew guy then a other train came to pick him up but had to wait for an other train because he had food for the other train. talk about food on the go......LOL
Great video of close-up trains! Fullerton, here I come!! Excellent!
