  • This is slow when you compare this to the ICE or TGV. Both run at regular speeds of approximately 180 MPH, more than twice as fast as this freight train. (the TGV's maximum speed, which was recently reached in a test run, is 357.2 mph, or 574.8 km/h)

  • wow fast!!!

  • Awesome K3LA! What's a doppler effect?

  • Hear that Doppler effect? Enjoyed watching this one. Too bad it wasn't in daylight.

  • Just Beautiful!!!!

  • Awesome speed. 5*

  • Simply amazing. For some reason I haven't handled (or paid attention to) trains of that weight. 110 - 100 ton cars is about an average coal drag for what we handle.

  • We get 20k gross ton trains all the time in the Powder River. Having distributed power on the rear helps. Trains coming out of there go from having 112- 145 cars. Destination is about any powerplant that goes as far east as Chicago, south as Texas, a few to Utah, Nevada and everywhere in between.

  • I'm confused. You're pulling a 20k ton train out of Powder River? How many cars? What's the destination?

  • Out in Wyoming, our trains leaving the mines are anywhere from 17000 gtons to 20 thousand. Heavy trains. Still, at 40mph, itl take about 1/2 mile to stop after "big holeing" it.

  • Do you want to go 70mph, use a GEVO.

  • Maybe you should watch the first response
