Norfolk Southern and BNSF trains on the Georgia Division

[bnsfjay]

Try not to shoot a video facing the sun and try to keep the camera still too.

[nssd70m2]

I love that K5HL at 9;37. 5/5

[cmo2384]

wow stand a little closer to the tracks

[conrailbuff]

Is it me or is it REALLY bright....

awesome catches!

Love that roadrailer.

[Dokkensound]

Looks like most of these are at the top of the hill in Shannon, GA. The roadrailer 251 looks like you were at Pinson. Most all the BNSF stuff headed south are Scherer trains. 17,000+ tons, 7000 feet, 124 cars, 2 locos on the head and one DP on the rear. Hammond Yates, Wansley trains are mostly NS power, now 3 on the head and 2 DP. Scherer trains also get pushed over Braswell mountain to Dallas ,GA. Nice shots.

[BUSFvertryn]

I know that this is about 4 to 5 years after the fact, but I was just curious as to why Union Pacific no longer has the "contract" to haul Scherer coal trains?

[norfolkdash9]

At 3:45 is that a P5 anybody?

[nssd70m2]

Yep ,P5R24 new cast. It sounds awsome!

[norfolkdash9]

Yes it does!

[bnsffreighttrain]

Great video! Being up here in Minnesota off the BNSF mainline, I see lots of N&S and CSX action on the BNSF.. Matter of fact, just seen N&S going west with empty coal cars headed for Wyoming..

[taco080808]

Cool video, but it looks like you're trespassing on railroad property. That's taken seriously around here. (UP line)

[negerpungrally2]

I work for NS so it dosent matter

[taco080808]

That's cool. Gives you good opportunity to get some great shots.

[trainman551]

@negerpungrally2 i love Norfolk Southern. they are my favorite hauler. they also have nice crews where i live

[Skynetdefensesystems]

@negerpungrally2 I looked on wikipedia and saw that there's a NS sub that goes from Washington D.C. to Atlanta, GA which is about 617 miles, I think. Is it 1 crew that takes that train for that route or do they swap somewhere like in North Carolina or something. If they don't swap and the crew does the whole entire run then this would have to be the longest subdivision on a class 1 railroad.

[Ranaldo20]

That was a cool roadrailer!

[crazyman50001]

COOL!!!!!! :D

[norfolkdash9]

gosh that camera

[negerpungrally2]

sorry...more footage on the way when coal season is over

[norfolkdash9]

oh ok where is this?

[negerpungrally2]

You mean when? Around May or June

[norfolkdash9]

srry I already know where it is I just read the description.

[norfolksouthern3173]

Wow what a preety horn on the first train

[negerpungrally2]

Yea but I like the first K3LA (BNSF) a whole lot better

Thanks for posting-

[rdrogel]

What are the unit numbers on the 2nd BNSF coal train?

[rdrogel]

What are the unit numbers on the BNSF coal train?

[negerpungrally2]

The BNSF train at 2:00 = BNSF 6093 and "unknown" and the DPU is BNSF 5671

At 5:30 all are "unknown"

at 8:16 , all are "unknown"

and at 9:20 all are unknown

[golfingrobert]

where was the crash at??

[CSXSD70M]

nice variety down there!

[russell379x]

huuh....wounder why only the BNSF had DPU's

[negerpungrally2]

well first of all , BNSF only runs coal in these parts. and second, its alot easier to get a 50 car-long mixed train up a 2.5 than a 145-150 loaded coal train up the hill. Hope this helps

[jmehl77]

Damn isn't great to get rain on your camera, if you set it low enough you can stand over it, that's what I do in the rain, JUST STANDING IN THE RAIN, JUST STANDING IN THE RAIN(singing the tune)!

[negerpungrally2]

well, im the kinda guy that dosent care what the weather is just as long as tains are involved lol

[jmehl77]

Been there and done it, I was down there railfanning when a friend and I were down there for engineer training, hot lil'spot.

[negerpungrally2]

engineers training? on the Georgia Division? wow thats a rough route, Me and all my railroad buddies where trained on the Atlanta North Distric Route.

[jmehl77]

No not running, at you hot spot, I live in Indiana. Just in Atlanta for training and on weekends we would go railfanning, thanks though for getting back to me!

[CottonBelter]

GEVOs all the way!

[twa1638]

If the British Health & Safety people could see this they would close th railroads down. Your really lucky to get so close.

[CSXTransportation]

Dude yall were way to close to the rails! Them engineers werent saying hey with those blasts, they were giving a warning! Please, do those hard working crews a favor and not stand so close! :)

[negerpungrally2]

actualy those where hello blows, and we where not as close to the rails as we looked, my camrae was zoomed in, hope that settles your worries

[guitars14]

I agree. You guys were a little close in some of the clips. I really liked the video though. A lot of cool horn action.

[negerpungrally2]

thank you, but like I said before, my camrea was zoomed in, the only part that I was to close, was when the BNSF came by that didnt blow the horn

[CSXSD70M]

yeah that was cool! love the GEVO units!

[nssd70m2]

Cool!

[nssd70m2]

My favorite one is at 9:30

[negerpungrally2]

yea, That guy is a fello engineer I know, Like one of those friends you call, and I had called him the night before, and he had to work that day and was scheduled for the BNSF Hammond run, so he called me right before he got to MP:69, which is right down the tracks

[nssd70m2]

Nice video! You sure do get alot of GEVO's down where your at!

[negerpungrally2]

yes, lots and lots, BNSF puts them on those heavy coal drags headed for plant hammond for some reason

[BNSFBJ]

That was a hella nice 7 loco lash-up on that one grain train!!!!Nice to see a UP stuck in there as well!!!Wooo Wooooooooo!!!!Super duper nice horn blasts yah got from some of those guys,esp the second to last bnsf!!!!Keep the action a comin!!!

Chow,

=)Bryan aka BNSBJ=)

[negerpungrally2]

Thanks....that 7 loco lash-up had a 8th unit 89 cars back in the middle of the train. odd for NS

[BRIANamtrak]

great video! jesus, you get everyone to honk for you

you must cheat and do the truckers honk signal LOL

check out my videos, subscribe too! i'd love it

take care

Brian

[ChanFram]

awesome storm action...the thunder really adds to it! This is the kind of video I like to see...good mix of power and action and locations...and it's on NS!!! Nice closing...

[negerpungrally2]

thanks...thats my favorite part of the video...sorry for taking during it though...didnt want to mess up the camrae

[NSAaron]

I loved it. The traction motors on that BNSF AC at the end of the train was awesome. Lots of gevos. Getting aweful close to the rails. I was listening to the scanner and lead engine on that 223 that derailed in Lancing wasn't a gevo. I think it was a C40-8W.
