i live right by the richfield wi rail line. When i go there i often lay rail spikes on the tracks and watch the train run over them. When the train passes, they will be flat and very hot to the touch
@UltraJoosh This and the Friesland / Dalton Wig-Wag videos were all uploaded on the same day. The wig wag videos were taken two years prior with my old camcorder. They're the first train videos I ever took (hence, no tripod and the date stamp is on). This was the first video I ever took with a tripod (which I kick at 0:44) and the first video I took with my second camcorder. I'm on my third camcorder now.
That's a defect detector. It checks the train for sticking brakes, hotboxes, dragging equipent and such. If it finds a problem, it will broadcast a notification so the train can be stopped and the problem corrected.
Lately, when you see three gp 40's latched up like that it's either for a local or doing yard work...I be hard press to tell what the last time I saw a local with an 83 car count....I knew the UP was storing units, but it looks like the roundhouse had to go scrounging for this power!
@waterskier072 YOU GOT THAT WRIGHT MY BROTHA, MY HOLE FAMILY WORKED FOR THE CHIHUAHUA AL PACIFICO RAILROAD, THATS HOW I GOT TO EXPERIENCE EVERYTHING ABOUT THE RAILROADING LIFE, PEACE MY BROTHA.
@waterskier072 YOU GOT THAT WRIGHT MY BROTHA, MY HOLE FAMILY WORKED FOR THE CHIHUAHUA AL PACIFICO RAILROAD, THATS HOW I GOT TO EXPERIENCE THE RAILROADING LIFE N LOVING IT TILL THE DAY I PASS, PEACE MY BROTHA.
I also love astronomy i'm getting a 12 Inch Meade LX200 Classic pretty soon how many objects are on that thing i think it came out in 2000?? Can you make new discoveries with it???
When the train starts to go over the detector, it goes off saying only the detector mile post. They used to say the milepost, then "Detector working". After the train crosses, then it gives out all the info.
This detector does give out a final message. I shut off my scanner after it gave out the intinal read out because I didn't think you'd be able to make it out over the sound of the train.
In response to below: have you ever driven a train, and hit someone? I have. The thing was, it was at a 'silent crossing' because of you people who want no horns, because you can't deal with the sound of a train horn. Here's something to consider. No horn raises the chance of a car being hit 615% at a railroad crossing. If you don't like the horn, don't live near the goddamn tracks. Because when you hit a person, it's the nastiest and most devastating thing in the world.
I dont understand train horns... can some one explain why they need to blow the horn? You'd have to be deaf to not hear one of them coming without holding the horn, and even if your deaf you can still FEEL the ground shake. Heres to outlawing the horns on trains and leaving the idiots who dont look both ways to die on the tracks....
Shutup, you're one of those whiners that complained that the train horns were too loud, I bet. Well, guess what, bub? they are NECESSARY to avoid being hit by the trains which usually take a mile or more to come to a complete stop. Which would you rather want? a proper warning in the form of a horn, or a silent stop with no horn & risk your family or friends being run over by a train? the choice is yours.
I don't know why you feel sympathy for people who do die on the tracks because ITS THEIR OWN FAULT. Are they not even smart enough to look yet alone FEEL and realize a train is rumbling towards them? It makes me so goddam angry every time a horn blows because it reminds me of all the dumbshits that have no sense of self-awareness. Everyone else is punished because of a few dim-witted folks.
As in Russia:)
