Union Pacific Rock Train 2

[jnite67]

@Brenton81 sorry, my bad. i looked at a map that wasn't updated soon enough. nice vid.

[jnite67]

i looked on a recent map to locate where this is in Wisconsin and the street you filmed this at is a cul-du-sac. why would they have a crossing at a cul-du-sac?

[Brenton81]

@jnite67 You sure you have the right location? This is a short, dead end street with houses on it. This crossing is at the only access point to Hansche Rd.

brenton 81 have you ever filmed an amtrak train the have great doppler effects but the greatest doppler effects come from amtrak acela i have the HQ scale and it goes to 100 mph the have great horns too you catch the awesomest bells and horns keep up the good work man you can get these trains at a good shot why don't you try puting your camera up under the train that is if you have a small HD camera

[TheAmtrakboy]

Breton 81 what is a wig wag crossing and where do people get thier railroad bells from yuor train videos are awesome man this is a rockin video man what type of horn and bell is that

[Brenton81]

@TheAmtrakboy A wig-wag is a type of railroad crossing signal. I've shot a few videos of them. If you look through my video list, you should be able to find them. I picked up my crossing bells from ebay. The bell on the signal in this video was maufactured by Safetran and I have no idea what kind of horn is on the locomotive. Thanks for the compliment too!

ChaosDemonwolf : see what happened hoss was first, Santa Fe and Southern Pacific merged, then it broke up. Union Pacific was after SP for a long time. In the late 90's early 2000,s UP finally got the go ahead to acquisition SP railroad. So it was a merger, rather than a full on corporate takeover.

[livestockdana]

wow, a cotton belt engine, never seen one of those here.

[ChaosDemonwolf]

I've noticed lately that UP loco's are always running ahead of SP's. and also learned the SP local spurs from LA to OC are gone. torn up. what happened to the SP? did UP buy it out and / or take over?

[TheMattsbro]

@ChaosDemonwolf UP bought out SP in the 90s or 80s

[Brenton81]

@sillydylan2010 It goes about 40 miles between the quarry in Racine, WI and the unload facility, south of Gurnee, IL.

you sould see my rock trains pulled by all companies for railroad. they dump the ballast (rock) along the rail at 16 mph.... no stopping between crossings, swiches, or bridges.....all continuous. HERZOG

[pojl]

i like how you can see the track go up and down on the right when it makes that squeaky sound

[jimmydcap]

Rock ballist for rail beds. great catch.

we have a rock train that runs from Milford to the main line in Nashua. The pick up rocks for rail roads when the need to repair and improve their lines.

[flywheelfam]

Usually a car or truck shows up at about 0:50. Great catch!

[Brenton81]

Yeah, I've been trying to pick spots with very little traffic after having a few videos spoiled with cars pulling right up to the crossing into the shot. Most people are pretty nice though, and will stop behind me when they see me filming.

[oldtimefan]

I love to see the train in the distance

[moon47mars]

GP60, GP38-2L and GP60M.

[UltraJoosh]

Great video, man. I think the signals should have went off at 0:35. 5*

[Mrisaiahturner1]

@UltraJoosh where i live they dont go off till 0:57 because they go so slow

[ibuy4unow]

[fordsuckbigtime]

[JeremiahTrane]

Very nice clip....LOVE that horn!!!

[Trainmasterkreks]

Cool Video

[HighIronofWisconsin]

There we go! Was waiting for the one with sound! Nice video, Brent! Good to see 8" lights and the unrepainted 1943 still on there.

[Brenton81]

Yeah, 1943 is still on the rock train. This crossing is slated to be removed once a nearby subdivision is developed and a new access road that doesn't cross the tracks is built. I think this is the only crossing left on the Kenosha Sub without gates and LEDs.
