Those diesel engines were certainly being made to work! Those loaded trains looked heavy and with 3 locomotives that's an impressive amount of power.

100 tons a car, usually 124 cars per train. About 25,000,000 pounds of coal per train!

Hello Bevan, can you please tell me where the location of the bridge is on the first minutes of the video?, im coming to Cheyenne from the UK in April and would love to visit that location….ive scoured google earth around Bill and can’t seem to locate it. Your video is great and I love the epic freight scene you have over there in the US, the Uk coal scene has almost gone and our freight trains are about an eighth the length of yours!!. Many thanks for any info if possible….cheers Ian

I was visiting from Australia so I'm not a local. From memory, you drive north for about ten km from Bill on highway 59 and there was a road on your right that leads to the bridge.

@normanyates6735 2 жыл бұрын

Powder river basin coal has a low sulfer content so in big demand at the environment conscious power stations all over th3 US, lower btu value so more gets burnt.

there are locomotives on each side. Is this push and pull?

@JiriSusta 3 жыл бұрын

Yes, there are usually two pulling and one is pushing to relieve the stress on couplers.

@chasethesky1 3 жыл бұрын

@@JiriSusta I was a teen in Columbus Ohio in the mid 70's, and tracks ran about 100 yards from my house. In those days I could tell a long coal train was passing whenever I saw 6 locos pulling a consist. (Caboose in back) Of course, they probably each had half the horsepower of today's machines, maybe less. I think that was coal coming from WV and headed to Detroit, Cleveland, etc.

Last time I drove through here from Gillette to Douglas, I didn't see a single train! I remember when it was similar to this video. What seemed like hundreds of trains! Now they can't hardly give away the coal leases. Same thing will happen with oil thanks to dimwit! The rest area is very nice with a pond nearby. Stayed at the hotel there once when we got caught in accident traffic just north of Denver on I-25. Nice little town just to the west of rest area. Very nice video.
