I've been to Europe and traveled on their trains (between Poland and Hungary). Many are electric there, and also designed in the 60's and 70's which was pre "enviro" histeria. In other words, their efficiency stinks. The amount of juice required to power hundreds of miles of line considering line bleedoff, US trains will win the day on efficiency since the power created is consumed on demand. Before any of you sound stupid and debate me, read up electromagnetic effects around conductors (wire)
@Jean793 The French?? are you kiddin me. The last time the French did anything fast was when they surrendered to the germans in WW2. Buttt the french resistance did stop a train load of french artworks that the germans were trying to steal. The french fleet came to our rescue during the american revolution 6 months late. butttt the y did help force cornwallace surrender!!!!!
@ErikHartog your right,, gas is not 8 dollars here yet so we are slow to use mass transit. we rely on cars to much. in europe most everything is close by and a short distance so you can take the train. here all roads lead to rome or new york ,tampa LA atlanta etc, we do have a solid interstate system . by the way they made a movie in 1964 called the train about the french stopping the art train. it stars Burt lancaster,, one of the greats,, and the train is one of my favorite flics.
@ErikHartog I'm not offended by an incorrect statement. What? European passenger trains are fast? Okay, but the Amtrak Acela travels up to 150 MPH. American freight trains are longer and heavier than European freight trains and move more stuff. So, how are European railroads "better"?
@Jemalacane Why European railroads are better? - If you miss a train in Europe, you just have to wait 15 minutes before the next one arrives, in the US you sometimes have to wait a day. - What does the size matter of a cargo train? They are twice as small as yours OK, but they drive 4 times more often a day. - Our trains are usually powered by catenary (electricity), you guys use fuel. - In Europe, you can get almost anywhere by train, in the US you often have to rent a car.
@ErikHartog The more freight you move with one train the better. The reason we don't have as good of passenger service is because it's not very profitable. You use catenary? Well, if the power plants which provide electricity to the catenary burn fossil fuel, it's not much of an advantage.
@Jean793 French passenger trains are enormously fast. But, I am pretty sure your freight trains are not as fast as this. Even if they are, they aren't as heavy!
@Jemalacane That's true. It's a big difference, in my country you rarely see more that 60 carriages. And... most of the freight trains are not so fast. Anyway, the fastest freight train here travels with 50 mph.
I've noticed over the years that CSX freights have improved their speed to the point of running as fast as cars now...55 MPH is not uncommon. On the Philly sub...I have had freights excelerate away from me....and then pass me on I-95 and I was going the limit!
This is a very exciting video. I mean all transitions in the video blend really nicely. The excitement in you voice while providing intro moving onto junction bells then the howling horns of the train and the gradual yet power entry of the train till the end of the video. I have added it to my FAVOURITES.
@DIVRITE the train was not going that fast.and however people see the flashing lights and might be too stupid to just drive through da crossing even though the train itself is not coming or it's coming around the blind corner,people are so stupid at these crossings especially when the lights are flashing.
Could have produced a better video by firstly using a tripod and secondly cutting out the crap comments completely and lastly by actually videoing the whole train instead of wagon by wagon up close.
Why they use 6 locs on this train, no mountains in Florida, I never saw 6 locson trains crossing the Rocky Mountains in Canada, even if the trains were longer than this one.
They ship locos bacl and forth from waycross Ga. where they get serviced ,painted or removed from service like old U boats. you can see in some of my vids the old swithchers that are in some consists. thx for looking!!!
trains speed up and slow down along their way just as cars do...they always look slower than what they are because of their size.just like a passenger jet landing that looks like its standing still when it must do about 170 or so to not stall..keep up the good work
Nice Vid...Yea the video just doesn't do justice in how fast that really was. There's nothing like the thrill of a fast freight blowing by in close proximity.
I know what u mean....i wrote graffiti on freight trains for many years and still nothing compares to the feeing of having one of those beasts pass by you close
in lapine oregon i don't why but the trains fly by at 70-75 in a 45mph speed zone on the BNSF truck subdivision and no if anyone asks amtrak does not come through here only freight
Don't care what you think saw freight engines are not to exceed 70mph. Unless you was in the cab looking at the speedometer you have no idea how fast it was going. 60 over a frog is rough enough, couldn't imagine 75mph
now who made you the train expert, besides the BNSF has different rules and speed zones than the UP and CSX ,NS ect. i maybe 15 almost 16 years old I loved trains when i 1 month old and i started to study about trains ( trains, subdivisions the speed limits restrictions singnal and more) since i was 3 years old. so don't think you know more than me just becuase your older than me i got to drive a train a few times. GOT IT!!!!!!
It's lil punks like you that we real T&E employees like myself just cannot stand!! You sit around and read your books and know nothing about the industry. If you know speed limits you would know 1all freight locos are restricted to a max speed of 70!! At the end of the day you will still be a wannabe that knows nothing. I know more than you because I am an employee. A real T & E employee not because I am older. Tried your best but you failed. Go back to ur books.
lol your a looser. Show's how much of a looser you are to say u know more than an employee. Get a life instead of following folks around while they work. Hey go get some pussy maybe then you'll grow a pair looser. Let the real railroaders do the work.
just cause you work for the railroad means nothing cause you probably work in a yard or only go out about 200 miles from your home so you know only what the company teaches you and what you experience in that area. i thought the same thing when i worked for UP but now that i am a rail fan i know a hell of a lot more than most of those guys who worked back with f units know. most of those guys have never been off there home tracks.
And what's your point? At the end of the day I'm still right, you are still wrong, and you are the one that couldn't cut it as a railroader and had to run off to be a low life foamer. Rail Fans are cool, foamers are sad.
oh yes how sad that i chose a life in college earning a higher degree so that i may one day run the railroad instead of riding the trains like an underpauid switchman like you. not every body wants to work an hourly wage and be the common american loser. Trains are cool but i would rather run them from in that big office than from a hot railyard so why dont you get back to work doing what you do before that guy in the nice suit in the big offic fires your sad ass.........buddy
Far from underpaid, and far from a switchman, I do not work for UP. Second, not only do i have my degree, and i have my pilots license. So check this buddy u continue go foam at trains, and remember why u couldn't cut it in one of the best paying jobs in America. Yes go sit in your big office lmao u pussy.
yeah, I have seena lot of trains thru the years but this one will always be the scary one especially at the gas station and the looks on eveybodys faces, like what the heck!!!!!!!
Freight going more than 70mphs? Every freight loco i've been in says do not exceed 70mph even the UP locos I have been in. Also only trains allowed to go 70 on CSX are intermodal trains so if he was going 70 and if he was to be caught the conductor and engineer will be on the streets. HOw do i know? I have all csx timetables oh and i'm a conductor.
@Ejaymd11 I NEVER SAID HE WAS GOING MORE THAN 70. MAYBE MY SPEEDOMETER WAS OFF IN MY CAR A BIT BUT I COULDNT BELIEVE IT WHEN IT WAS 68-70. HE DIDNT GO OVER
one more time.I was getting gas in macclenny right by the tracks and all of a sudden thers this roar and everybody looks up like what the heck, it this a tornado or something,so its this train blowing thru town so fast that he was gone by the time I got back in the truck.then the chase was on. when I finally caught him he was doing 70 mph. then he slowed down and in the video he speeded back up . thx for looking
That isn't really all that fast. You should see the BNSF trains that roll through Hereford, TX. Those babies hit 85+! Through town no less; the gates drop when they are a mile away. People still die from them though.
Talk about highballing! No hills in FL, so there's nothing to stop them but curves and other trains. I wish we had a few of these going thru our lines, but it's just too curved.
I've been to Europe and traveled on their trains (between Poland and Hungary). Many are electric there, and also designed in the 60's and 70's which was pre "enviro" histeria. In other words, their efficiency stinks.

one more time.I was getting gas in macclenny right by the tracks and all of a sudden thers this roar and everybody looks up like what the heck, it this a tornado or something,so its this train blowing thru town so fast that he was gone by the time I got back in the truck.then the chase was on. when I finally caught him he was doing 70 mph. then he slowed down and in the video he speeded back up . thx for looking

That isn't really all that fast. You should see the BNSF trains that roll through Hereford, TX. Those babies hit 85+! Through town no less; the gates drop when they are a mile away. People still die from them though.

Talk about highballing! No hills in FL, so there's nothing to stop them but curves and other trains. I wish we had a few of these going thru our lines, but it's just too curved.
