Okay, me again. Ignorance is bliss, but to purge mine, I have a question: Why does G & U need 3 units for trainloads of 4 - 12 carloads? Do they split them up in the yard and interchange for the purpose of tag-teaming switching operations? Or is there perhaps a section or sections of radical grade change(s) through short vertical curves? Just asking. Maybe I should pose the question to G & U itself. Keep the good stuff coming, South Coast. I am living 'vicariously' here in Albuquerque.

Both grades and switching maneuvers. Sometimes they also split the train with different crews. Thanks for watching!

Great video for two reasons: 1. Using a tripod. I get tired of the number of videos that have the "shakes" or poor editing. 2. Having a photographers (actually cinematographers) eye to compose your scene. You aren't JUST shooting close-ups of a train going by. You use your surrounding scenery to be a "supporting actor" which adds interest to the video and helps to tell your "story". I especially liked the "long shot" of the train going by in the distance. Good job! I hope to see more of your videos.

Great job Mike! You got lucky since they served Washington Mills towards the end
@SouthCoastRailVideos Жыл бұрын
Unfortunately they didn’t serve them but just broke the train then shoved into the yard. I’ll have to get lucky next time I’m there! I need a shot of that switch for a documentary style video I’ve been thinking of.

@@SouthCoastRailVideos Oh ok, also, if you're gonna try and get them and they serve Washington Mills you're gonna have to chase a northbound run from Upton because they normally don't serve that customer in the morning on a day they would serve them.
