I've been wanting this for a long time! BNSF Eastbound Intermodal train and Westbound Coil metal train meet perfectly in Escalon, CA.

Train 1) BNSF eastbound (southbound) Intermodal train with BNSF 5134. Also 3 engine trailing.

Train 2) BNSF Westbound (northbound) Coil Metal Train with BNSF 4587. Running with a 2x2.

Look for when the train comes in, the lead engine gives you a little wink. When that happens you know something good is about to happen. It was nice to be on the side I was because the coil train was lower. Also check out how both trains end at almost the exact same time. This was a great meet! Hope you enjoy!

  • Wow, how did you know to set up your camera there, where the two trains would meet?

    Thank you! It must have taken a lot of dedication and energy to get that just right.

  • Also this is a great catch

  • I think the automated gates blow, I also think that if freight trains have to use the automated horn (which is lame) then amtrak should too. That way it cant be assumed as favoritism, I also live freight horns alot more than amtraks horns.

  • @spacecalander This is at the Highway 120 (Yosemite Ave.) grade crossing. I railfan here quite often. I have video, that was shot in 2008 when BNSF was allowed to blast their horns through here.

  • Perfect camera catch cause of the lower metal coil train you can see the train action perfectly now the dp units at the end made it the awsome both finish. Nice catch.

  • Another 5*'s and a favorite.

  • Awesome catches. lol those mechanical crossings suck. 5/5

  • Nice one!

  • Nice ending!
