@jpkazarian GOOD!

@jpkazarian my kind of vid,I want to hear train noises,not people, or worst of all music!
-
Epic shot with Conrail. :O :) Sweet shot!
-
Cool vid, but why does the description say there's an "ex-Conrail" unit in the consist? That's SD50 #6705, and by the time the video was shot, Conrail was still an independent carrier, and all of their SD50/60s (aside from any wrecked units) were still active and working for CR. It'd be safe to say its still an active Conrail unit at the time this was shot...their power showed up a LOT on the SP in the 90s in SoCal.

Looking at that caboose, it looks like its road number is "white-lined", meaning its been retired. That and the fact it appears to be from an earlier class, and not from the C-50-7, 8, or 9 classes that hung on the longest, makes me think it's a retired caboose on the move to its next (and final) destination.
-
Yep, don't see cabooses no more. Sad in a way but at the same time it's better. And now that they have FRED and mary it's not really needed. This was way we conductors can make sure the engineer ain't sleepin through reds

I didnt know thats what a caboose was for
-
Actually, by the time this was filmed (early-mid 90s, by the ditchlights on the lead unit), the caboose had been off mainline trains for at least 8 years. There were a few times they were run afterward, usually for SP/SSW Railroad Police.

Caboose lol

Well, at the time this was shot, a caboose was required at the end of the train under federal law. The Federal Railroad Commission laster modified the law to allow plugging a small computer into the last car that would monitor the air brake pressure and electronically signal the engineer if the pressure was lost.
