Two BNSF Monster Freight Trains Meeting In Flagstaff, Arizona!!!!!

[CandyLaStar]

[siouxgilber]

Flagstaff is definitely the place to watch a lot of trains!

[railfan7]

[railfan7]

Hey guys, cool vid watch my vids I have every thing forms meets to cabooses

[MrStevehorne]

Great trains in a great place, we came over from the UK in december 2010 to film trains,

cant wait to come back and do it again some day.

[MARIOCREX]

wow!!!!!!

[lmogden1]

great video

[carpetime]

Outstanding!

[MsPlanetbollywood]

i've been to flagstaff 3 years ago and i loved it! the hotel i stayed at was in front of a railroad trakc and there were trains every now and then!

[Bnsfman511]

@MsPlanetbollywood Was it Holiday Inn? Because if it was,I know how it was.

[ft1030]

I´ve been there. I´m from germany. flagstaff and barstow are the hottest places on earth.i´m lovin it. thanks

[kanga1234567]

Locals must hate getting caught at the crossing there ....you'd almost have to celebrate your next birthday sitting in the car!!!!!

[NightrainAFD1987]

@kanga1234567 Ahhh we get used to it, where we end up planning our trips ten to twenty minutes ahead, in case we get caught up at a crossing :)

[kanga1234567]

@NightrainAFD1987 Cheers! I know I wouldn't mind the wait ....

[airborneace]

First time I've seen DPU's in the MIDDLE of a train. Over here in Mississippi the only time I see BNSF DPUs are on the end of coal trains.

[elamang18]

A great video. If you like to see big trains hauled by multiple locos, Flagstaff is the place to go - and it has the advantage of being close to the Grand Canyon. It's the only place I've seen a train headed by eight locos - awesome!

[104trucker]

I love the chick at the end runnin like there is another train comin LOLOL

[PivotReviews]

Guy in car behind the train sees the second train and says,

"FUCKING HELL ANOTHER ONE!!!?!??!??!??"

nice vid

[djbillygee]

BNFSBJ!!! I LOVE THIS VIDEO, I LIVE IN FLORIDA AND DON,T GET TO SEE TRAINS THAT OFTEN. I AM A TRAIN LOVER SINCE CHILD HOOD..AND AS AN ADULT I HAVE COME TO LOVE THEM ALL THE MORE...SOME DAY I HOPE TO TRAIN ACROSS AMERICA AND BACK AGAIN...THAT WOULD BE AWSOME...BG..

[Fritz484]

sehr schönes video !!!!!! großartig

[Fritz484]

sehr schönes video !!!!!!

[dukeman2107]

was that first train basically 2 trains hooked up together?

[Python7791]

wow lucky catch

[VadikKMV]

Hail from JSC Russian Railways! I'm a system administrator from one of the depots of South Russia.

You have really powerful locomotives.

I have a question: why do you often use diesel power, is electrical too expensive?

We use diesel locomotives in manuever works, in passengers and freight trains it is used very seldom.

[newcadet]

@VadikKMV Yes. Here in he US, our rail network is to large and would be too expensive to convert to an electric grid system.

[Illifornia2000]

@charlieb640 now as far as I know, the other day, an SP train from 1978, an eastbound from the Bay Area, in this case ERWCY (Eureka to West Colton yard manifest) probably loaded, had 156 cars in the consist. thank you n happy new year. :)

[Illifornia2000]

what's the maximum amount of cars (namely an American general merchandise) a train can haul (whether it be a loaded or an empty train) and how many head end loco and helpers? Thanks in advance.

[Weiberts]

I love Flagstaff! I haven't bee in years, but it was nice.

[NovioSites]

Excellent video, never saw containers up each other on a train, looks insane for me bur in fact it's awesome!!! Thanks for posting

[dreambuilders48808]

Good job!

[8747csx]

There is a dip in the grade crossing.

[catholicarchangel]

I like the BNSF orange engine, but I miss the green BN engines, I always loved those.

[antena106]

fantastic

[santafeman01]

[styx4ever1963]

We get Union Pacific here and BNSF and Canadian Pacific

[styx4ever1963]

I love trains thanks so much for posting this video!

[Rottweiller4218]

Oh my god!!!I wish I could get Freight Trains like those up where I live!!!I also love those engines and BNSF is a great company.I've never seen a BNSF train here before.I mostly get CSX and Norfolk Southern.2 monsters are the greatest at anytime.You are one lucky person!!!

[pheonixredfire]

nice catch never seen anything like this and that many engines before excellent video but gives 10 stars..............

[2wowee]

this video was excellent , the sound is outstanding , the sound is so nice and clear. wow , someone did a wonderful job taping this. excellent video. 10 stars for you.

[honchomike563]

the most engines i have ever seen were 13 it was in colorado!

[brobinson75]

Nice, have never seen engines mid-train like that

[theup3985]

Awesome video, I can't see why anyone would "dislike" this. Great catch especially on the double length grain train, that was a good mix of power in there.

[amtrakseptaguy11]

Man oh man sweet video *****

[TheXtremeEnthusiast]

Last freight train, I recorded ''126'' Container wagons, such a big difference to freight in the UK lol!, awesome video!!

[05Forenza]

those are the most in tune gate bells ever...sounds almost church like o.O

[Weiberts]

Beast!

[TheDemonicVampiro]

yeh i live in australia :)

[TheDemonicVampiro]

there huge compared to our Australian Trains!

[HelmutVillam]

The longest train in the world is Australian

[bnxboxman360]

TheDemonicVampiro you live in Australia? If you do that is awesome!

[BNSFME]

trains have come a longggg way

[mrcdaniels]

BOOOOOSSSSS TRAIN

[brockislivingin1998]

i wish i was a train.......

[mrcdaniels]

hahahhaha

[ykcumop]

now imagine you would hurry somewhere and you would have to cross the track, lol. great vid

[Green4321]

Years ago I lived in Flagstaff with my roomates on the south side of the tracks. I worked downtown on the north side. I usually walked to work and if my timing was off, I'd have to wait while the passenger train was at the station. It was long enough to block two street crossings. It got mighty chilly waiting in the winter time!

Thanks for bringing back memories. I agree, this is a great video!

[DaBlackNinja1]

Was the grade crossing designed to bend like that or what was happening? I'd be nervous standing there if I saw that cement cracking as a massive train crossed it! Nice shot.

[trainboi21]

dude, this is gotta be one of my fav train videos on here !! i'd love to come to Flagstaff, AZ to the same spot where u shoot these 2 monster BSNF's. but its a 32 hour & 55 mintute drive sadly = ( = (

[Lightwolf333]

Nice catch on these trains as well.

[Thunderfucku2]

You mean Santa Fe Warbonnets not U.P

[TommyZTrains]

GREAT Video, Sad to see all the Chinese containers thoe...

[pablof59]

Thanks that the locos are still American...

[jacobew2000]

4 head end, 3 middle, and 2 or 3 rear engines. Very common in that area for that size train. I would be surprised if the 4th engine on the head end was actually cut in and working. If i remember my rulebook right, its too much power for the head end forces.

BTW, they are now running a lot of 150car intermodal trains out of LA now.

[trainpeeps]

AWESOME!! that grain train had what 10 11 engines!

[BNSFME]

Gotta love the sound of chugging :) I JUST LOVE IT

[bruceok]

These trains are longer than some European countries; certainly longer than the state of Rhode Island.

[CharlieX90]

is grain really that heavy?

[BNSFME]

no its light as a feather DUh each car is probibly close to 5 or 6 tons

[mastertippy]

go to flagstaff web cam

[BNSFME]

Is it train videos

[Bantha121]

I counted and the second train was only 126 cars + 4 locomotives

[GhostFearMe]

now that was some major tonnage

[TheUnknownRailfan]

Sweet sweet!

[bannanapancake]

very cool!!!....veryyy!!!

[flammabletube]

awesome vid pity the poor motorists waiting to cross the line and yes the grain train was pulling heavy

[PeavineRailfanner]

Grain must be a heavy haul. Awesome video Bryan!

[trainboi21]

love the crossing bell.

wicked trains meeting ! :D

[norfolksouthern8941]

the reason why there is only 2 gates instead of 4 is because that is a one way street traffic only runs south not north and south on beaver st.

[trainOholic]

they should invest in fixing that grade crossing. i have never seen a crossing with 4 gates instead of 2 great video 5*

[trainboy32]

awesome video

[Guser223]

DPU's in the middle of the grain train nice!!!

[Neno8403]

And there was at least ONE other loco at the very end of the train. You could see the engine through the stack train. Amazing!

[Guser223]

I KNOW!!!

[miltonx1219]

I used to like train... until college.

I made the mistake of renting a house that was only about 3 miles from a railroad crossing. The trains ran every 20 minutes all night, blowing their horns the whole way!!!!!

Trains just make sense, we should invest in them, but there has to be a better way than blowing those damned horns.

[Guser223]

they blow them for a reason

[bitterman112]

That monsterous "Triple Penetrator" grain consist will always be my favorite unit train!! GREAT POST!!!!

[rsppap]

And I also love how the horns echo in Flagstaff!

[Baboonstars]

Awesome.

We were on holiday in flagstaff and those trains were f*cking cool! By the way, Nice pub/bar "Collins". :)

[rsppap]

sweet video! i remember when i went to flagstaff and saw a train there!

[MiNameIsNash]

Nice zoom on the rail, very heavy train.

I'm sure you were in right place at right time...

[mikeyjoe44]

Hi-Ball Your Roll By, Dude!

I can't wait to get my Canon 70-200MM f2.8L IS USM LENS out to the rails.

Mikeyjoe44

[thetrainman407]

awesome video brian that grain train was huge!!!!

[BNSFME]

dang it!!!!!!!!!! i wanna live here

[johnnybee31]

I love how excited people get seeing stuff I get to see everyday. I live here. :) Its gorgeous. i love it!

[BNSFME]

are houses cheap up there im probibly going to live there

[readthemanga]

I know...

and I live right next to the tracks so I hear it all the time.

lol, as I was typing this comment, I heard another one XD

[sixx3times]

Damn, I love Flagstaff anytime of the year! And being a BNSF fan makes all better. That is one place I would to live. I use to live just north of there by an houe and a half. But, I would like to be in the town itself and just watch trains all day.  I use to live not far from the Port of Los Angeles and that all you'd see container cars. Damn, I miss the BNSF part of the country. I now live in CSX part. I only seen a BNSF freight go by since I've been here. BUMMER!!!!

[fishbone3925]

@sixx3times, If you think watching these trains is something now, try going back to a time when my father was living and working in Flagstaff and Bellemont (at Camp Navajo) in the 50's. He told me that he saw these same monster trains come through, but with one ot more steam engines pulling these trains. So instead of just hearing the horns, imagine hearing the chugging of the steam engines too.

[fluffycheep]

How long is that thing?

[fluffycheep]

Love that sound so much....

[CSXRP]

Man those freights were humungus. I never seen anything like it. Great video Bryan.

[trainboi21]

fuckin wicked video man !! lol

one of my fav's on here.

check out my 2 video's !

[FlatBlackXtreme]

They need to fix that crossing where you zoomed in! The grain cars are dropping off the crossing, you can hear it at one point in the clip. Nice action though!

[valareksic]

What a beast...that must be some heavy stuff! I've never heard of them using some in the middle of the consist.

[BigTonyE69]

Two words best describes this video: Lucky Bastard. Man, not only seeing one massive freight train, but two. Wow great catch man. Keep up the good work.

[Bellwestern80]

Nice Grain Train giving the fact that it has 4 lead units (1 being a warbonnet), 2 Middle Engines, and 1? shunter at the tail. Awesome catch!

[CoastStarlight11]

O my gawd dude!!!! Yet another HOT meet shot!!!! Interesting how that track flexed a lot at that crossing. 5 star vid!!!

[dutchtrainmanserie22]

Awesome!!!!!!!!

[Squawk7600]

Bryan, are you sure first (grain) train isn't WESTbound and second east?? Most all of your videos here have had trains coming from that curve (like the 2nd stacktrain) and you've called them EAST. No big deal, just confused. This is just an awesome place for trains. That deep blue Arizona sky is beautiful!!

[Squawk7600]

WoW, THREE Warbonnets (front and middle) and really decent-looking too (compared to most Warbonnets you see today) in this monster freight!! Awesome meet, great video!!

[TrainmanKight]

same ol gs type ones ahh hey i guess the horn ban fell through the cracks cool that or bnsf flagstaff to F off

anyways great video dpu in the middle wow nice meet too

also when did bnsf put concret ties there

[rsppap]

I know! Theres a Type 1 on all 4 signals! They sound really good together!!

[TrainmanKight]

for about 10 seconds then they piss me off

[rsppap]

Why do they piss you off?

[TrainmanKight]

i cant stand gs bells

i mean 1 or 2 gs type ones are ok for 5 mins

gs type 2 no more than 10 sec of it

and four gs type 1s some one give me an Aspirin

[railmogul2]

nice!

[BNSFME]

i had a heart attack lOl AWESOME!!!! video man

[SF3751]

Never disappointed when I see your shots, nice job man.

[lionbill]

Awesome . . !

[Mikey7889]

lol that train was making a song

[nikearora]

Nice video Bryan. Flagstaff is a great place to catch meets and it seems like they happen pretty often there. I caught my fair share as well when I was down there.

~Nick

[andrew7493]

[DJGENEX71]

Ohhh snap! Awesome catch on this one! 5*****
