Chasing-Train-174-July-8-2010.mpg

On this very hot day, I chased NS Train 174 and when it stopped at Jenkinsburg, I waited to see it depart. The departure was quite impressive.as the three locomotives showed their stuff.

Nice video Walter. I like seeing these big Trains powering up and taking off, with the smoke and such. It's a thing of beauty. To bad you can't catch a coal train taking off.

(Guess I overlooked this comment) sorry I am just now answering this comment. I have videoed coal trains taking off

Thanks Gene, it is a long train just about all the time. Ive caught it many times, and never was it short

This is a great video Walt! 174 has been pretty long lately up my way as well!

Thumbs up!

Thanks Bob, it is amazing how heavy trains really are

When you chase a train like that Walter, it just emphasises the length of them, and when it finally pulls away you can feel the tension and strain on getting that massive load moving...excellent video...Bob
