History shows that hustoric aircraft and trians are too eaisly scrapped We rai fans should pressure congres to pas sa lew (yes another bloody law) that revents old locomotives and aircraft from being scrapped... its our history... its jsut 25 years ago SD40-2 was the king of the railroads.. now their being sold or worse..
If either consist needs helper trains, the dispatcher can assign a crew to the specific consist to help until needed. Sometimes you'll see UP or BNSF engines in a consist, those are usually on the interchange going back to their belonging yard.
I'm surprised to see then pushing those ballast hoppers, they should have had a clear track to come into the yard on, the switch crews weren't doing their jobs.

your video aspect ratio looks off it makes the video looked squished from top to bottom.

Its the standard ratio...the camera is made for 16:9, but i shoot in 4:3.

so your just letterboxing it then? Just wondering. It's hard to decide which ratio to do these days with TV's with both ratios.

Nope, there aren't any in this area.
Treyvs 4 years ago
Hell, you rarely ever see alcos around unless they are owned by a shortline or industrial railraod.
BoxcarFrank 4 years ago
