Central Oklahoma "Winter Blast '06" Trains Part I of V

[jrs689]

I surprised "snow" is even in the dictionary down in Oklahoma.

[uawildcat50]

this has to be my favorite because i was in oklahoma when this was filmed and i was about 20 miles from there

[ChaosDemonwolf]

E bells suck

[wampaAWESOMEsauce]

damn we need those gates up here in traverse city michingan! we dont get much rail action but when we do the stupid ass drivers who think trains never come thru here dont pay attention to the lights and cross right before the train passes

[Doobie1975]

I love the flashing lights operating on a cold snowy day like this

[steffens69]

Great video, I bet you were cold...that wind was a blowin'.

[RandomThoughtChanger]

did anyone see the rails?

[unionpacifictrain]

up here in northern illinois we got blasted in february, i had atleast 5 feet of snow in my neighborhood street afterwords, the night before i tried to get a train in the storm but the roads were just undriveble, these snow storms were awesome tho!!

[NismoFinder]

Wow, beautiful horn! Great shot in the snow too.

[BNSF2184]

Was that a CSX or an old EMD demonstrator trailing?

[The3751FAN]

@BNSF2184 Its a csx

[spirit774]

sd40-2 ftw lol

[nikeguy2]

if you listen AT 0:34 TO 0:46 YOU CAN HEAR THE TRAIN HORN

[05370537]

Bring back the mechanical bell

[railstoruin]

Those refrigerator cars have an easy go....

[est86leo]

BN SD40-2 twins in a blizzard with a perfectly tuned rs3k, running manifest?! Nostalgic!!! No doubt they are making good time, but if you want a master of the highball, ATSF. No wonder both found eachother. :D

[adtonko]

this is in fact one winter where the word winter actually indicates the weather as cold and snowy as a winter has to be =)

nice horn action trough and a nice composit of light when the trains was aproaching =)

[trainguy3]

I miss Bn wut happened, i kno they merged with santa fe but at least sum1 tell me they bought out Santa fe?

[Alizara75]

You know, I think I've said this before, but I keep coming back to watch this again and again because I just love it. I don't know if it's the dark, windy, moody lighting or the fact that I love snowstorms almost as much as I love trains, but this is absolutely my favorite railfanning vid of all time.

[tmlafrance]

I'd edit out that first 1:40. And the bells sound normal to me.

[lespaulguy32]

@tmlafrance I know its opinion but the horn sounds great in the distance.

[looppia]

i bet it's quite cosy in the cab with the storm outside.

[enforcerthirtythree]

Excellent video.Enjoyed every minute of it

[Stanroc]

4 min video....train crosses at about 3 minutes!!?? Audio is excellent!!!!

[Stanroc]

4:14 min video, train appears 2 & 1/2 minutes in....crosses @ 3 mins....sound is excellent!

[lespaulguy32]

OMG I cant get over how great this horn is!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[lespaulguy32]

Nice horn!!!! luv this vid!!!! thumbs up.

[steve7112004]

No Problem! Hope your camera comes back to life soon.

[steve7112004]

Awesome nothing but awesome. Thanks for standing there in the cold to get this video to share with us all. Thanks.

[theup3985]

@steve7112004 Thank you, glad you enjoyed it. As miserably cold as I was at the time, it was well worth it to get the footage. I just wish I had used the tripod in retrospect. This past January we had some really good snow here in Oklahoma for the first time in recent years, and my camera was unfortunately out of commission (and still is), so I wasn't able to capture the winter scene this year. Thanks for viewing and commenting.

[diioriog]

@theup3985 A train arriving in the snow in a cold dark day... fascinating. Hope to experience it one day.

[celman11]

nice leslie RS3-K on the loco

[NSguy07]

Ive been looking for this video for months!! L ove the doppler effect on the horn in this video!! 5 *'s

[fnm9908]

those leslie RS3-K sure are amazing,wish they were still used along with the santa fe's RS3-L

[PhantomDark21]

Best capturing vid in a stormy snow weather :)

[DouglasP201]

LOL i bet you was freezing your ass off out there, but it was worth it, to catch a classic BN green cascade freight train :D 5*****'s & fav. I love the horn too :)

[Trainking922]

Probably by far the best winter railfanning video EVER!!!!!!

[dudical345]

Loving that RS-5T horn!

[fnm9908]

its not an RS5-T,a burlington northern RS3-K,or prime 990,maybe a mutt??im going with the Leslie

[UltraJoosh]

Nice video. =] Was it hard to hold the camera during this?

[redleg2186]

god i love it when the horn blows just as its goin past you. thats awesome.

[algeriasky78]

@redleg2186 me too

[lespaulguy32]

Best horn EVA!

[TheBrickanatorz]

Snow! The best shot's for trains in my opinion!

[Trainking922]

Heck yeah!!!

[Trainking922]

Well dosn't matter. This video is AWSOME!!!!

[Trainking922]

This crossing seems to have somthing different about it when ever you shoot it. like in 1 video, it had mechanicle bells. in this one, e-bells.

[theup3985]

The crossing used to have a mechanical bell up until around the time this video was shot in November 2006, when it was replaced by the e-bell. Other than that, not really anything else has changed about this crossing. Some of my newer uploads of this crossing are from back when the mechanical bell was still there.

[sidekike3]

That's the best horn I ever heard. Very nice!

[ravenhawk6910]

@sidekike3 Those old school BN horns can really send chills down your spine. But that's what makes then awesome!!!

[Savaun5678]

I love this video!

[FoducksBride93]

Nice video.

[bpbpcoc]

leave it to a Leslie to be heard at a long distance in a snow storm...

[BNSF7776]

Good heavens best RS3K I ever heard! 5/5

[lordbemylight]

Who knows why they don't have them anymore? These horns bring back memories of the mid '90s. Train horns aren't as loud as they used to be.

[theup3985]

RE lordbemylight:

In 2004, the FRA enacted a new regulation placing a maximum decibel level on train horns. It had immediate effect on all new train horns and requires gradual phasing out or modification of older horns to meet the new standards within a certain timeframe.

[lespaulguy32]

@theup3985 That stinks doesnt it?!?! I miss the old RS3Ls and P5s I remember when I was little in the mid 90s. I was only a fewyears old but I do remember them. I lived right next to the Ex CR Lehigh Line and I do very much miss those days.

[ervans]

Very nice 5* great horn

[theup3985]

Thank you sir. Yes, that is definitely one of my favorite horns as well, it literally sent chills down my spine in addition to the chills from being out in the deep freeze. I with this horn were still in wide use today :o(

[lordbemylight]

That horn brings back memories. It reminds me of the early 90s. I miss my youth. :(

[Hiei2k7]

Early 90s of BN Horns cutting through the wintry air of Northern Illinois, and waking up cities for miles around

[Burnoutmaster1]

BEST TRAIN VID EVAR

[dominikdanio111]

Straszne Rp1 (It's so frightening horn) ! 5*

[JDeereGP]

That goes way back to the era when BN absorbed Great Northern, Northern Pacific, CB&Q, Frisco.. I remember that so well when I lived next to the tracks which once was Northern Pacific.. That was the original horn back then, great to hear it once again! Thanks

[Burnoutmaster1]

I LOVE TEH HORN iTS 5 STARS!

[lordbemylight]

I do love TEH horn too!

[Doobie1975]

I've always loved the horn sounds of the BN, the BN was always my favorite railroad.

[unionpacifictrain]

cool video anyways.

[FamilyGuyLuva]

lol

[unionpacifictrain]

i love the train horn in the backround when its all quiet! it sort of brings back memories!? i dont know why.

[theup3985]

It's a classic BN-era horn. That's probably why it brings back memories.

[SpikyDragoness]

I think that this is probably my favorite of all the train videos out there on youtube. It's just amazing.

[FitzNS]

Nice old school BNSF locos I love the old green and white ones. I grew up watching them pull massive coal trains through the local yard. Now everything around here is pulled by the DASH 9s still awesome sometimes there will be an old Santa Fe loco with the Red Santa Fe on the side

[FitzNS]

Well technicaly just BN locos since the green and whites were pre merger mostly

[NS6641]

I like the RS3K on that ex BN SD40-2.

[gystracing]

Wow, you can hear the train wheels grating on the snow. If it snowed again here in FL, the trains would be shut down.

[19Jimmy84]

Great video!5*

[1977kb0wqh1996]

Awesome vid!!! I must say though, if I had to guess where this was filmed, I would immediately assume is was in Minnesota or one of the Dakotas.

[gystracing]

I like it when the horn reverberates thru the cold air.

[jsemancik1]

i love the sound of the horn coming from the distance, its beautiful

[lordbemylight]

Me too! I always have since age 12 (I'm 28 now). BTW I dunno how anyone would possibly want to railfan in the middle of a blizzard, especially in the Great Plains. And many train videos out there begin with the train approaching you right away, which sort of takes the charm out if it, which is recording the horn in the distance. I know, that's a difficult job for me too.

[widesmustang]

look's cold

[rsppap]

is that an rs3k on the unit? it kinda sounds like one.

[ParanormalStateRocks]

thats hardcore!

[paolodipreli]

grande cirooooo 5*****happynewyear

ciao, paolo

[wiregabnau4]

I never knew a snow storm would hit Norman Oklahoma.

[heyam29]

this is werid
