I used to railfan at the vancouver amtrak station, lots of good action there. Love the vids!

@NapierNimbus - thanks for the info. Amtrak uses a different type of passenger car on the east coast (where I'm from) and they sound completely different than those Cascades cars, so I was curious. Thanks again.

Great video - the containers that are piggy-backed - do you know if they are bolted together or do they rely on the weight of the container from falling off round bends? In the UK our very restrictive loading gauge does not permit piggy-backing we had an incident admittedly the containers were empty but severe winds blew three containers off a freight train - the containers locate on to lugs of the transporters

@maineboy1979 reckon that is the pneumatics of the brake pressure being applied and released, Sound is very similar to our passenger trains In the UK. The brakes are applied to each car from the car's own brake pressure reservoir, the degree of pressure being controlled by the driver and electronic gizzmos and anti-brake-lock (wheel skid) systems etc, plus fail safe system should the cars separate

Why were all these trains so short?

@FE511bhs All told if I did not edited the footage there would have been about 45 minutes worth of footage.

In response to KINGANDCASTLE:
I was on the northbound Coast Starlight a couple years ago when we hit a vehicle at a crossing near Santa Clara at about 80mph. It took close to a half mile to stop. Yes, it was fatal.

Sorry to hear about that.

How long would it take for a train like that to brake to a halt in an emergency?
KINGANDCASTLE 2 years ago
My estimation would be a half mile for the Amtrak, and at least a mile to 1 and 1/4 miles for the freight trains.
