UP 844 & 6936 & "Extreme Trains" Film Crew

[DaWestsideUnlimited]

i thought that was train's sound, then i saw helicopter

[BNSF9250]

i think its cool discorvery did a thing on her. helicopter noise is just part of the enviorment

[MrW6MX]

OUTSTANDING

[train7556]

why does this train sound like a helicopter with a whistle?

[jointlinerailfan]

so when they go back to Cheyenne for good, does the 6936 take the passenger cars back to Omaha after the 844 is cut off?

[gyjg6564167]

I don't know about anyone else here, but Extreme Trains didn't really five up to the expiation that I was hoping for it to be. Yes, it was an OK show, but their still was a lot of cons and it did feel like a kids show. Still prefer Tracks Ahead and Extreme Machine any day.

@gyjg6564167 As long as I get to see trains I could care less :D

[atsfupsp09]

so does that mean you are on extreme trains?

[steamjunkie]

844 does not always run with a backup. I have chased this locomotive numerous times,with no diesel!!!  The helicopter noise in this clip is annoying as hell!!

[BNSF9250]

@steamjunkie sorry that someone cared enough to make a professinal video of it with the helicopter for direct TV. sometimes they want to show off their classic diesles too.

[Rtchugg]

Man I hope they bring it back but UP must have a lot of insurance!

[stephenhfoster]

Good choice of angle on the third segment; that curve works well.

[MthRailFanatic]

I Was A Little Disapointed With This Epsiode Because UP 6936 Was Right Behind 844 But They Never Menchaned It. : (

[theGUYwho1]

ther clearly retarded

[ThomasRivette]

Because steam was the star for that eposode.

[golfisgreat123]

the 844 always runs with a backup

[itnbfzi]

@golfisgreat123 Not always. There is video showing her operating without a diesel helper.

[ThomasRivette]

I hope they bring back Extreme Trains soon.

[PeavineRailfanner]

WOOO HOOO!!! ROCK ON 844!!!

[736berkshire]

Make way for the 844!!! She'll always draw everyone's attention for generations to come!

[trainz34]

844 ROX:):)

[trainz34]

This is my favorite show!

[trainz34]

How did you get this footage?!

[Piotr998p]

very nice - 5*****

[195017000]

SUPER GOOD 5*

[popsnacks2]

that steam doesnt need that diesel what are they thinkin.the only reason i can think of is if it breaks down which i dout will happen.

[NorfolkAndWestern578]

Actually the diesels only are there for electricity for the passenger cars.

[sgtredbluered]

Is there footage available online that was shot from the helicopter?

[trainkids]

That episode of extream trains was 1 of the best yet!!!

[badboylll]

totally!!!!

[geomodelrailroader]

@trainkids LOL and my favorite train #844 was on here

[mjkft22]

believe it or not the DD40AX is used only for dynamic braking and for backup in case 844 breaks down, 844 is actually doing the pulling.

[Weiberts]

@mjkft22 That's good to know.

[DanielVolker]

The most work 6936 is doing is providing more weight for 844 to pull. 6936 is only used for dynamic and in some cases to provide electric power to the passenger cars.

[MilwaukeeRoad261]

ur an idiot. The reason why they put diesels behind 844 on passenger excursions are for dynamic braking

[franklinterrier]

my bad guys, the only reason i daid that was because the dd40 was smoking quite a bit as well...be cool guys, i like steam too...

[2102FAN]

I seen this last night, man it was good.

[daboteman]

That helicopter flying above the steam locomotive was EXTREEEEEEEEEEEME!!!!111!!111!­!eleventy

[2102FAN]

What kind of whistel does the 844 wear?

[AmtkHogger]

A Steam Whistle. ;-D

[2102FAN]

LoL no realy but i mean like a EX. Reading 6 chime, ext.

[AmtkHogger]

Yes, sir - I knew that and I cannot be of any help on that count.

[2102FAN]

oh ok, thanks anyways

[DanielVolker]

I'm thinking, but probably wrong, it's a UP 3-chime.

[marklester01]
