Awesome! I’m spending the night in Matewan West Virginia tonight and planning on going to Kenova tomorrow. That’s some cool stuff

the orange hapag lloyd containers are quite stunning! always a crowd pleaser.

Same here. Just remember, don't be a stealth railfan next time you're down this way. : )

the CSX/ NORFOLK SOUTHERN MEET UP UNDERPASS/OVERPASS was sweet!!!!!

o man that K5LA on that GP40 was amazing!

Really Awesome stuff here

There are sometimes other situations too where there simply isn't enough locomotives needed for a train from a railroad's own locomotives at a terminal and the only other locomotives on hand are locomotives from another railroad. Whatever amount of time a railroad's locomotive spends running around on another railroad, the railroad that was using the locomotive must pay the railroad back by letting them use locomotives from their railroad for the same amount of time.

great railfan spot

Railroads hand off freight cars to other railroads ranging from an entire train to a few cars in a process known as interchange. For example, an entire train of goods originates on BNSF and the final destination is at a point accessible to NS on the east coast. NS either decides to send the train on its rails still with the original BNSF power or they can choose to take the BNSF locomotives off and send them back to them on another train to interchange with BNSF.

Those were some tight shots bro! Earned a subscriber :)

Nice shot of NS 233 with the BNSF Units n NS194 with BNSF AGAIN

Yep, nine units total.

nice! by the way, just to randomly say this, i think it was funny how the name was CSX and Norfolk Southern Train Action, and as the thumbnail i see two BNSF locomotives

Here I am watching train videos when the BNSF east/west line run through the farm, which is in central Texas. With respect to 'foreign' power, I seen either in the lead, as part of the power pack, or as helpers, the following: Citirail, UP, SP, CSX, Soo, KCS, one engine from some small railroad in Missouri, CN, Ferrocarril, another Mexican railroad whose name I cannot dredge up, NS, and I think that's it. The Soo surprised me. I saw it at the engine sheds in Temple, then I saw what might have been the same Soo, but the color was faded and it has some other acronym on it. Sunday, whilst on my way to the driving range in Nolanville, Tx, I saw a Citirail in the lead with two BNSF engines, waiting at a signal, while around the curve in the side track eastbound were two CSX engines pulling a mixed freight train.

Looks a good spot for videoing

They must be hauling in the cars for another season of jay leno's garage.

8:00 lots of NS BNSF power

yea i know i was just sayin that :P

I am typing this as to what knowledge I have of locomotives from one railroad running on another railroad. I am in no way affiliated with or work for any railroad nor do I claim to be an expert. Your best source of information would be to ask railroad employees or look into various published articles and sources such as Trains Magainze. -JE

Where exactly is the spot as seen on Google earth. I may be in the area this summer and would love to video there. No hassles from PD? Thanks

im from australia and why was there bnsf locos with ns locos?

we rarely get bnsf's trains on cleveland
