That is seriously one of the longest trains I have ever seen. Wow. Nice catch. I love to railfan the Cresson/Altoona Area. This video sure takes me there. This train sure needed front and rear helpers.
That is one of the best train videos I've seen in years. Great job! Nice perspective! Did you know in advance (from a scanner or whatever) that two trains were coming and the best way to set up the shot or were you just lucky that things developed the way they did?
There were 73 John Deere tractors on board 36A,All made in Waterloo,IA.There was 7030,8030 and 9030 Series tractors.Surprisingly did not see any 8030T or 9030T track tractors.
I agree with Eric up there, I've never seen 36A have that many. I've come close, but never all that. Haha, the whole time I'm watching I'm thinking, with two trash 9's and all that train, the helpers are gonna sound SO good! and 3373 and 3348 didn't disappoint.
God how long is that train it goes on forever

NS units remind me more of pumas than thoroughbreds.

@generationll Do you know where the tractors were going? How often is farm machinery seen on the Pittsburgh line.

Sweet! That is awesome! That is one of the largest cut of tractors I have ever seen on 36A.

Nice catch! The 36A's tractors are always a treat and the 26T was a bonus.
