I was just wondering, were you having some sort of seizure when you took this video?

[alexander1485]

@julius923 probably his cell phone and not a steady hand

[AppleSouffle]

Julius, haha, nice one! I really did laugh when I read that :)

tripod?

[youtship]

I am wondering ......

if a long long train is more fuel-efficient than many shorter trains???

I think there must be some optimum lengths for a certain horsepower of the engine.

[supergosciu18]

142

[philipjayfry]

I also counted 138 + 4 engines. Wow.

[marcth25]

fantastic video, thank

[peaderod]

Good video.I saw a train with 203 carriages in Edmonton Alberta. They make them big on this side of the world.

[Hypnixio]

lol thats sick xD

how do they take of all the boxes and things from one like 6 kilometers long train?

[ronop1]

what fuck fuck man train PASS the city

[Widder23D]

Wow, that was some train......

We don't get them that long over here in Britain, just imagine taking that lot up the Conwy Valley to Blaenau FFestiniog.

Actually it might be interesting to check out whether that train was longer than the Blaenau Tunnel.......

[Skynetdefensesystems]

@finacreacion Man that's nothing 1 time on the Metro North Hudson Line at University Heights I saw a CSX freight train come in one track 1 at about 11:00 p.m. on a Thursday night and I counted 217 cars and that's excluding the locomotives, but including the locomotives it added up to 220 cars and it was heading for Selkirk New York.

[gadgethead16]

stop moving the camera

[BeautifulAngie7]

Wow it is soooooooooooooo long!!!!!!

[sputnikoftheus]

There were 138 freight cars and 4 locomotives. In all, I saw 142 locomotives and cars.

[mrbassfisherman]

I was at a park in Oaklandon,Indiana(Indianapolis­)and a train went by with 175 cars behind it.

[guitars14]

I saw a train in Marion Ohio once with one Conrail SD40 180 empty hoppers.

[bartertown]

Can you make them that long in the UK with the chain links and buffers that you use? I think you need knuckle couplers.

[delticdriver]

Awesome. If only they where this long in the UK.

[Cooldit]

ive seen 210 cars on a train, all autoracks.

[kmothersil]

How many locomotives were on it and was it greater than two miles long?

[CSXno601]

That is a CSX AC44CW, with three trailing GP38-2's. I saw the same train in Akron that day. This was taped on 7/23/06 wasn't it? The horn sounded Amtrak-ish but it is a CSX engine.

[mafarnz]

I don't know what Amtrak trains you have seen, but there is nothing Amtrak about that lead unit! It's a standard, run if the mill, 6 axle GE freight unit, looks to be a Dash 9. Amtrak did have a few 4 axle Dash 8's, but they were actually very rare in Amtrak fleet.

On the other side of things, very nice vid.

[dutchtrainmanserie22]
