Great video! So, does the military own the flatcars, or does BNSF own them, and does military personnel operate the train with locomotives from BNSF, or does BNSF's crew operate the train?
those tanks almost look the M80Sherman's but those are probably M1A2 Abrams Tanks great catch!!!! nice power on the train too. who's the guy to your right filming with ants in his pants???
omg your so lucky i still havent seen 1 military train ever in my life except here on youtube your so darn lucky and for that i say beautiful video and amazing train to catch im glad to be subscribed and have a friendship with you cause its worth it!
Ya it was, it was being rebuilt by NRE but under neath the cab I can see ??CX. I guess it belonged to a leasing company but I dont know who owns it now. The engines were unpactched though.
Awesome catch on the tanks man! Thanks, ya it is the local in goes bettween Centralia to Paducah. Sometimes this train can have 60 cars or 11 cars, lol
LOL, it looks like the SP's just came out of a sauna, lucky, very lucky find. You're fricken lucky to see Abrams tanks, all I ever see are Strykers and other APC's, where were those going? Do you know?
P.S. don't pan (or if you do, not until all locos pass), keep a fixed shot, it will make your videos look professional!
Hey, I used to do it, but try to resist that urge to pan! LOL! Trust me, you'll be more satisfied with your shots. Nonetheless, you still did a good job.
Ya it was! Thanks, recently we have gotten a TON of military action. I already have another video to upload of a different train. I know of another military train on Tuesday!
I love military machines, more than trains, and if they are on a train, that's a double win! I want to see some in person... I wish. Do catch a lot of videos, hey you should chase it and catch it multiple times!
Same thing! I have gotten 2 military videos within a week of each other. The reason I couldnt chase it is I was Max and we walked down to the crossing and his parents wernt home and wouldnt drive us.
Would it be CSX out of Paduka KY?

@no1reallycaresabout the military probably leases the flat cars but i do know that BNSF crews run the train because they are qualified on that route.

Why tanks on a local? They picked up in IL or dropped off close by?

They just put them on there because it wasnt enough for a whole train and there is no other freight trains on the BNSF out of paducah ky.
