Union Pacific Freight Train with C&NW Caboose

The UP Marsh Job heads north on the Milwaukee Subdivision on it's way back to Butler Yard with a C&NW caboose in tow. This was filmed at the W. Potter Rd. railroad crossing. Power is UP 1063 and UP 1447. The caboose is C&NW 11186.

Nice crossing gates,I hope the new ones work better because I did not hear the train blow the horn!!

@crossbowbunny2010 The same signals are still there. This crossing is in a Quiet Zone, so the engineer doesn't blow the horn.

That caboose looked pretty old. I wonder was anyone inside of it!

[Brenton81]

@starguard Nope, the caboose is empty. It's used for the conductor to stand on when the train is making back-up movements. Otherwise, it's unoccupied.

What country does this take place in?

[Brenton81]

@Cacowninja This is in the United States.

[crossbowbunny2010]

@Brenton81 Sometimes in the U.S. the dynamic brake sound has to replace the HORN!!

Great video as usual Brenton, is the second locomotive one of UP's newer more energy efficient ones?



[Cacowninja]

So according to wikipedia trains will still have a caboose if they are on a local, small, or reserve railway and on special event trains.

Two things I've noticed here. One is that this is a quiet zone and two there was a switcher locomotive on here.

Strangely, I was drawn to the clouds and couldn't get past the fact that they weren't moving. It was like a painted backdrop for the old Westerns :)
