Two different days, two different locations. Sometimes, seemingly random events can have a common theme, in this case, Amtrak trains pulling Private Cars going past switchers working nearby.

  • I can't seem to find any info online about the first 2 engines in the video...are they some new type of SD unit switchers? I think it's interesting that they have the windows painted over on them or covers on them or something...Very nice collection of shots! All thumbs up!!!

  • @DJGENEX71: They are Railpower RP20CD's, and I've only seen them at Roseville. Not sure if they are still used there.

  • What type of switcher locomotive is the UP one at 4:45?

  • It's the same one as described on 4:20.

  • @cchan006 is that an mp15 or does the mp15 have a longer fuel tank

  • @AMTRAK155: MP15's are slightly longer than SW1500's. Also MP15's use Blomberg trucks, while SW1500's use Flexcoil trucks, as shown in the video, so the subtitle in my video is wrong!

  • @DJGENEX71 Actually they're remote control units. They're next general EMD units for Union Pacific.
