Union RailRoad Mp15Dc's in The Snow at Sandy Lake

[DIEHARDRailFan]

Awesome! Like the caboose! Live right near the BLE.

[xxxDeath9572xxx]

Thanks! And the BLE won't be around much longer at the rate things are going

[DIEHARDRailFan]

@xxxDeath9572xxx I hope not! I love hearing those trains go by! I better go over and get some videos pretty soon.

[xxxDeath9572xxx]

1 train a day doesn't pay the bills.

[DIEHARDRailFan]

@xxxDeath9572xxx Yup.

[lima709]

That is awesome seeing five switchers working hard getting this train up the grade! Even better was seeing all of the different roadnames: Frisco (now HLMX), EJE, CTRN (BN), UP, MP, etc...

[xxxDeath9572xxx]

Yea its amazing! Gotta love a shortline! Thanks for the comment!

[S3KSiiMiX3DMAMii205]

you didnt aim your camera as the units passed by  why? the sound isvery good. overall,you did a fine job. next time,you should aim at the locomoyives. they are stars of the show

[xxxDeath9572xxx]

I'm not entirely sure as to why. But anyways at least i still got a good video.. I do nowadays when its good power.

[trainmanrick1]

Brings me to mind of hauling coal in Wyoming on the Powder River Sub. Nice work Death !

[xxxDeath9572xxx]

Hehe, Thanks!

[xray606]

Can't decide if I should get the first release Atlas 15s with just the blue and white, or wait for the yellow ends. The yellow is kind of interesting, but the blue is more traditional.

[xxxDeath9572xxx]

Blue and white all the way,, Traditional for sure!

[xray606]

Yeah, think I'm leaning that way. I better hurry up before their gone.

[jwerren78]

That'll blow out the carbon!

[xxxDeath9572xxx]

HA! Yeah lol

[BoxcarFrank]

SWEET! 635 passes by me I believe. All in all, great snow shot.

[xxxDeath9572xxx]

Thanks Frank, this was my personal favorite..

[xxxDeath9572xxx]

NS 400 is the only coal drag that comes from IL to here that is rostered on the lines..

[liltimmypitt]

could you hear it in the back ground

wait for it wait keep waiting

IT THINK I CAN I THINK I CAN ITHINK

[xxxDeath9572xxx]

Nah, they dont think that, they say I know I can. They climb this grade daily.

[andersonjjj333]

I love it that was cool;)

[xxxDeath9572xxx]

Thanks!

[dutchtrainmanserie22]

Awesome video 5***** awesome diesel power

[xxxDeath9572xxx]

Thanks!

[xxxDeath9572xxx]

Lol! These are Mp15Dc's this railroad only owns 9 SW1500's and most are used in the mills

[locoman306]

look at the trucks... MP15 not SW1500

[xxxDeath9572xxx]

I know they're MP15's, i was telling him about the Sw1500's this railroad does have, which are not included in the video above

[OhioRails]

Very Cool!

[Guilford88panam]

cool vid!

[xxxDeath9572xxx]

Thxs

[Squawk7600]

I like the "COKE EXPRESS" CSX hoppers... wow those are some BIG ole hoppers!! They must be newer, don't look as weathered as a lot of them. Looks like that little caboose has seen a few years and miles, LoL!! Nice video in the snow!!

[xxxDeath9572xxx]

Its fun to watch this shortline doing work. Actually, you'd be surprised, They're kept clean by weather and Normally are eventually repaired after it starts to get in awful shape

[TRAINFANS1]

insaneley awsome video dude 5 starz

[xxxDeath9572xxx]

Thanks! Glad you liked it

[wle200]

Awesome video! Looks great!

[xxxDeath9572xxx]

Thanks!

[xxxDeath9572xxx]

Sure are. They run a midnight train were all you hear is these babies working hard! Eventually im going to do a night shot with them but i highly doubt it

[whatnowpeople08]

Great video Ian, 20th 5star ratter. lol

[xxxDeath9572xxx]

thank you.

[NorfolkSouthern9496]

that looks like a K325.I think it is isn't it

[xxxDeath9572xxx]

what do you mean

[Andrewsaxamophone]

1:20, EJ&E coupled to C&NW. Now thats neat.

[xxxDeath9572xxx]

Sure was!

[Railfan19960]

ahh, that sucks:(

[Railfan19960]

just an inch. dang:( Thought you get more than that.

[xxxDeath9572xxx]

Not here! While filming this it was coming down in freezing rain

[Railfan19960]

Nice one Ian!! how much snow did you get?

5*****

[xxxDeath9572xxx]

Thanks Derek! About a inch

[AstroDroidR4O2]

Great catch! Gee they like those units on coke don't they? Lol I saw a few neat cars in there (besides the usual CNWs that at least one of usually appears) like Frisco and was that Mopac near the end? Wish I was there.

[AstroDroidR4O2]

Also I notice Andye219's little brother's "NEEEW TRAAACK!!!" in the foreground at the beginning!

[xxxDeath9572xxx]

Lol i noticed it too. Andy & Brandon watched it from the Bridge

[xxxDeath9572xxx]

Thanks Aaron! Well it wasnt as fun as you think it was. i took my coat off during the video and held it above the camera to keep it dry from the freezing rain. yea the Frisco was interesting. The one youa re thinking of was a Missouri Pacific Lines Hopper

[irishmanO1]

awesome video five stars

[bubba2781]

Nice video, the new camera is looking good! How bout them Steelers.

[xxxDeath9572xxx]

Thank You Jim, those steelers are losing to Balitmore. Flacco is a better QB than Ben will ever be.

[trainlord11]

Sweet dude. Just a little back back for missing the CR's! 5 MP15's!

[xxxDeath9572xxx]

Yea.

[FastFlyingVirginian]

Those CNW hoppers were immaculate considering how long it's been since the merger. Nice catch.

[xxxDeath9572xxx]

yes, They were and the railroad here actually has had them for quite a few years. These were actually brought in to the URR via interchange by NS or CSX

[guitars14]

Awesome!

[railfanner91019]

Like what do you mean "coke" like Coca Cola?

[xxxDeath9572xxx]

No. coke is coal that has been broken up & heated then quenched with water

[larry84988]

Nice Ian!!! Listen to those 645's roar!!!

[xxxDeath9572xxx]

Thanks Lar! And yep!

[JJrules366]

hey man thats awsome at the start all those yard units were was this?

[xxxDeath9572xxx]

Thanks! This was taken in Dravosburgh, PA. The RR shown here is the Union RailRoad. The Union Railroad does shipping for United States Steel. They supply the USS Irvin Plant, Edgar Thompson Plant, & the Coke Works

[JJrules366]

awsome man thats a great catch is this a weekly trip?

[xxxDeath9572xxx]

Theres supposed to be 3 trains with coke but lately only 2 and not daily.
