[JackDooner]

oooh serious sound ;)

[kdlehel]

here every day electric locos passing by. Only these here have 7000 hp

[6V92TA]

here i was expecting to hear maybe a P5 or a PO1345 but an S3L?! BAH! Still sounded nice though. Reminds me of Conrail.

[DanielHigurashi]

lo bueno es que aun siguen con ese lindo esquema GREAT VIDEO!!

[cheechchongfan97]

Nice RS3L!!!!!

[ranamil]

lastima que dejamos ir esas hermosas locomotoras

[B52Stratofortress1]

gosh, they're ugly. The amtrak E60MA's were nicer looking then those mexican e60s

[Ferronal3]

@B52Stratofortress1 yes, of Nacionales de México (NdeM)

[acela2107]

Is the second E60 is an ex amtrak locmotive? cuz i figure it have the red, white, and blue paint scheme

[uanamani]

Nacionales de México will live forever.

[moonwalker5058]

Those mexican locomotives are insane!!

[uanamani]

@moonwalker5058 completely agree with you, those E60C-2´s were the most powerful locomotives ever used in Mexico.

[cochranexyz]

Passed by this RR a while ago.  A train was loading coal from the mine.

[fnm9908]

at least they finally get to do what they were suposed to do,haul freight and they didnt have to wait moer than 12 years to do so

[classicalman114]

Coming soon to your line: overhead wires.

[hoorider13]

Outstanding Leslie horn!

[PINKluvr01]

i passed the stopped train on my way back home. I thought it was really weird looking

[LukeBNSF]

Kind of interesting how the near gate was faster than the other at lowering & rising!

[LukeBNSF]

Also, a perfect Leslie S-3L!

[underjoulemx]

arriba FNM / NdeM

[CoastStarlight11]

Very, very, very, hard core!

[anskaru89]

¡Vivan los Nacionales de México! ¡NdeM el mejor!

[wolf87111]

asi es los NdeM viviran por siempreeee

[wolf87111]

NdeM FOR EVER!!!!!

[Chapas45]

injun woman yelling at you in the end?

[CoastStarlight11]

Very hard core!

[Futrzak3]

God bless of America

[Nachtwolf1]

Great horn, I love the electric motor "growl" from those units.

[FXE4007]

Its service for another company is a pity to see these locomotives rendering and that, in Mexico by bureaucracy and corruption never got here to run as it would have, is enough to clarify that only years were working 2-3 after being stored like 14 years! friend its Manuel DIAZ

[nsgevo89]

That is awesome! It's an "electrified coal train!" LOL and a nice Leslie RS3L horn to go with it!

[HamiltonOhrailz]

WOW!! I have never seen anything like this! Nice horn and the overhead wires! Hardcore!!

5*!

[DecommMan]

Sweet!

[CoastStarlight11]

Dude Trains Magazene just had a whole article about this Black Mesa & Lake Powl train in the November 2008 issue.

[EverywhereWest]

Awesome!! I've always been fastinated by this railroad.

[ty556]

i,ve seen this derail not far from where this video was shot.

[barjblk55]

con q ahi dieron las locomotoras electricas de las N de M

[MAPJAH]

Greetings from Macedonian Railways

This video is wonderfull *****

[furryfurball1221]

"woooah" lol

[mbta1000]

Wow!I didn't know that N de M still worked!

[Trainsondvd]

This is not NdeM my friend, this is the Black Mesa and Lake Powell Rwy, they purchase those ex-NdeM which it's different so don't mix up the things.

[rogmontana]

Vaya, al menos las locomotoras de Nacionales de México ya funcionan, prácticamente se desincorporaron estando nuevas; excelente video.

[Isochest]

The biggest obstacle to electric freight in the US appears to be property taxation. One oil company reckons there's only enough oil for another 40 years!!!

[trainzrok]

nice leslie horn

[zozey1231]

Nice horn there. XD

[mickflyuk]

Help.

You guys get awsome quality on youtube, so please could you divulge how you encode, size etc.

Thanks.

[JeskoTN]

great video!5*

[andybowe]

Why does this railroad use electric power and how are they dispatched?

[pennsyr1]

andybowe, this railroad was built to serve a generating station. Utilizing some of the station's output to power the trains was a more economical option, as opposed to shipping in massive volumes of diesel fuel.

I can't help you with the dispatching method. I'd like to know more about it myself.

[yourpageitsasheed]

WOW EXELLENT VIDEO FRIEND

[zbik17]

wow, 4 locos:)) it looks great. 5*

[furryfurball1221]

very nice, E60s live on!

[Trainman11185]

ive never seen those kind of locomotives pulling freight before

[deathstarmygnr]

were these engines from Amtrak? Cause I know Amtrak had or still has some E60's

[pennsyr1]

deathstarmygnr, the four units in this train were built new for Ferrocarriles Nacionales de Mexico (N de M).

The Navajo Mine Railroad, however, did employ two former Amtrak E60CH locos, along with a former New Jersey Transit E60CH, which was also originally built for Amtrak.

[RCdash9]

I can't believe these engines are still running.

[ggspin12]

lovin it, great vid!

[meyer8400]

Beautiful in every form, man killer shot.

[ggspin12]

i couldnt agree more

[bathspacentral]

wow electric fr8 thats kl..didnt knw you had electric fr8 in the US!!!!

[amtrakboy627]

Favorited and five stars man.

[pennsyr1]

Heavy electric freight definitely got a raw deal in North America. Good to see there are some holdouts keeping it alive.

[CoastStarlight11]

O MY GAWD!!!!! There it is!!! DANG!!!! This is one heck of a vid. To bad the train was not running the day I drove up and down a portion of the line. I so wanted to get a shot of this thing in action when I was there. Amazing vid. This vid is so hard core to the bone!!! & The thing has alternateing ditch lights!!!! Interesting how one crossing arm lowers and raises faster than the other. 5+ star vid!!!!

[dutchtrainmanserie22]

Awesome 5* and favorited.

[trainzrok]

AWESOME RS3L horn!

[Squawk7600]

Tell me this isn't strange as heck... electric overhead power where you would really least expect it, out in the desert Southwest 'in the middle of nowhere', LoL!! This is awesome!!

[TrainmanKight]

great video crossing still has m-bells!!!yah

how many times aday is this line used

i dint know there were any electrified

tracks left in the us

ex for test tracks

great video

[Squawk7600]

Internet info says the "BLKM" operates three round trips per day!

[duramax6600]

Woah!

[unionpacificrr]

Nice catch! Wouldn't it be awesome if the UP or BNSF electrified one of their lines?

[MrZkr123]

@unionpacificrr they love oil too much to ever change

[DJGENEX71]

That's the first time I've seen an electric coal train! Great video! 5*

[Caltrain927]

Wow. A signalized crossing on that line is rare because there's only 2!

[CabooseColin]

awsome I can't belive that those are american
