Hey belgiandriver602 ? No freight train in the USA has ever gone 120-130, not even Santa Fe freights ! What kind of Pot were you smoking back in the 70's ? I'm sure some Santa Fe Hoggers would verify my comment

nice clear pacing shot !great video!you must got a steady hand.

[belgiandriver602]

They also passed trains in Hereford on 1 track, using a siding and thye had to have perfect timing as one had to clear the main just before the engines arrived. Saw it done lots of times.

[belgiandriver602]

Nice shots. Used to live in Hereford. Thats a 79 MPH track. In the 70s Sante Fe would run 120-130 through there pulling stacks. Welded rail and solid bed but at that speed they look like they swayed more than they did because when you look 1 goes 1 way the next the other. Ran a bullwagon lots of times from Amarillo to Belen and back.

@InvasorEspacial007 About 75 mph

I can tell by your fight with stability that US road quality hasn't improved!

AMERICAN TRAINS=SLOW SLOW SLOW

[starguard]

@odin422 That train I'll bet is pulling almost TWICE the weight most foreign trains can. Considering the load its pulling, I'd say FAST FAST FAST

[odin422]

@starguard i wish that was the case, but it simply is not, if you look into China's rail system it's plain to see. dont take my word for it

[nikosjk1]

@odin422: Passenger and freight are two entirely different things, running freights faster than 90 mph really isnt safe, way too many things to go wrong.

[Denmarkpwns]

@nikosjk1 why is it constantly honking? ( dont know what the word is called in english)

[nikosjk1]

@Denmarkpwns: To warn people that the train is approaching the crossing...

[Denmarkpwns]

@nikosjk1 it was blowing the horn constantly, over 6 minutes... do the crossing have some kind of magic apparatus that make you able to hear things FAR FAR FAR away?

[nikosjk1]

@Denmarkpwns: What the hell are you talking about dude? He did the standard long long short long for every crossing and once to warn a signal maintainer.

@starguard

Intermodal trains barely weigh anything. Mixed freight is where all the weight is at.

Cool shots, wonder how often they lose boxes on those double stacks....

[Gian2812]

really good work Geoff.
