A loaded hopper train of great length stopped midway up the hill just outside of Winston Yard and then attempted to move again once he received the clear signal. Notice the bucking of the engines as they power up and then they begin sliding backwards. After sanding the rails, the three-engine team overcame gravity and started climbing. There was some serious power in this lineup: #333 is a AC4400CW, #8061 is a SD40-2 , and the enormous #648 is a AC6000CW. The combined power output was around 13,400 horsepower, and these brutes shook the ground (and us too) as they conquered the hill.

Those engines shook the ground so much, the camera sound didn't do justice to the ground-shaking roar we were hearing. It was incredible.

Just watched it again, one of my favorites. The power of that long train thru multiple switches. Amazing! ..........

The SD40 and AC6000 has the best engine roars :) I loved the mix of 645 turbo with the growl from AC6000 combined :D

As a former engineer with CSX, trains like that were fun as well as a challenge.

Noisy little SD40-2 in the middle. But then the AC6000 #648 follows, it sounds like a cargo ship!

The most impressive feature of this train for me (I am a New Zealand Trade Certified Automotive Engineer/Truck mechanic) is the lack of squeaking & squealing from the wagon wheels/axles/bearings etc. That indicates superior technology and maintenance and of course high amounts of weight - or if you will - precisely what the wagons are designed to carry and perform/move.
@TZrailfaning
Awesome seeing these old units shaking the ground! Never gets old hearing that thunder!👍

That's the most prolific video of an AC6000 kicking ass....

Frankly, I was very impressed by the several switches/curves that she had to negotiate. Both in terms of pulling through that safely and the great shot by the video maker.

Dang that's amazing good job and the SD40-2 sounds absolutely awesome when they put it in Notch 8

That double curve makes some crazy optical illusions!

I am retired csx freight/amtrak engr., just for info, after csx purchased the 6000 hp loco's, not long aftre, they tuned them all down to 4400 hp, new engrs. Were ripping drawbars and knuckles with all that hp, it was occurring a lot.

Great video! Train moves through those switches like a giant centipede!

Seeing this video reminds me of the trains I used to catch back in El Paso. They shook the ground every time they pulled out of the main yard along the Sunset Route (Southern Transcon) mainline near downtown.

yes, I believe this is why so much sand was being applied. This train was fuly loaded.
@crollwtide9452
I haven't seen a train take that many switches at once before
