Looks like a nice area to live around. But it wouldn't be as nice without these trains passing by!!!

@TrainTrackTrav yep, but a GE is on the point.

poor switcher must feel intimidated in there with the big engines, mind you they are pretty mighty despite being small.

it was interesting seeing the little switcher lashed up with the big locos. also noticed a sp boxcar with the speed lettering. those are a rare sight.

@nvsteve Clearly the roper with all the reefers and box cars. Its one HEAVY train.

I believe that was the MRVRO, if it was early afternoon. Crew goes OD at 1000. If late afternoon or early evening then it would have been the QFRNPP or the QRVNPP.

Just a silly detail: at 3:48 a car arrives at the other side of the level crossing. The driver obviously doesnt share our train hobby; you can see him impatiently u-turning.:-)

FRA rules in the US require a minimum of 20 seconds from start of the warning lights to the train entering the crossing. This particular video, using the ET clock on the video, has it at 29-30 seconds, well within the prevailing regulations, and nearly the same as your standard. :)

Awesome. As a child I lived nearby a railroad track. That sound of mightiness.
Beautiful trains and because of their ongoing strength they still give me the goose bumps...
