I'm a trucker, and I love to be on the docks at the potato sheds in Edison when the trains thunder off the hill enroute to Bakersfield. Great video!

@bradhig Because UP sucks!!! lol!
Very cool, thanks for posting! This is the SP I love and miss! BTW, any idea of the lead unit #? I can tell it's an 82xx-series unit (exhaust silencer), but it's too dirty to read the cab or number boards! Curious because it still has the full light package, like the SD40R 7373 trailing it.

Glad you enjoyed it. I went and looked at my original footage, and best as I can tell it's #8274.

Another great video. Nice power with the Chessie System unit. Pretty odd site with that engine in the consist too. Looked like a Rio Grande engine helping at 1:04 too.

Thanks. That was a Rio Grande unit. They threw a little of everything into this one.
