Man, that was a long one! A true highball!

And there are no power line so this means the locomotive works on Diesel. Do you have an idea about the horse power of that thing?

@catascouts Yea there are no electric trains in my area, all trains in my area are powered by diesel. The horse power varies from engine to engine, I am not sure the horse power of the engines in this vid, probably in the thousands.

Wow! Hot rail on 1! I bet this train is only 1/2 as long now thanks to double-stacking over the Roseville Sub!

@hoorider13 Thanks!!!! I have no idea how the double stacking may have affected the length of this train. This train always hand an insane amout of cars to drop off in Sparks when headed west and an insane amount of cars to pick up when heading east out of sparks.

Yea like every day the east and westbound Z train picks up and drops off containers and semi trailers in the UP Sparks Yard in Sparks, Nevada.

I have got tons of other Lovelock vids on my youtube account and I have shot video of this Z train at tons of different places across Nevada and California all on my youtube account.
