At 7:13, that looks like a tamper. It lifts the rail on either side of the fingers, which then plunge into the ballast on either side of a tie and shake it to adjust the track. The long trailing piece is part of a photoelectric system that checks the rails for being level.

UP also changed their cabs from old cabs (1980-2005), to new and modern cabs. The reason why they changed it is because when they go long hood forward (LAF) it’s makes the engineer stress turning their chair left and right to change the throttle. So they use newer cabs which makes the engineer more comfortable to operate in the cab.

Saw that CN 8818 back on it’s home rails in Duplainville, WI. I paced it for over two miles. Truly a one of a kind locomotive!

AC6000's were also used by BHP Iron Ore in Australia. Sadly, like CSX, they're now retired. They were used to pull the heaviest train in the world!

Nice video! I caught BNSF 525 leading a manifest out of Des Moines this year. To make it rarer, the yard where the train originated at is operated by NS.

Boy this new intro is hot

CPKC’s new scheme will only be applied to new locomotives or ones that have been in a wreck/need a rebuild and all of the specialty locomotives like KCS 4006 or CP 6644 etc will remain completely unchanged. Something like the Ex BNSF Dash 9’s will likely be the first ones to receive the new scheme.

Nice!

Bnsf 525 was in a other video that i was watching as a 25 power move

Man, I am so used to hearing that GP60 horn so much, and now it's an RS3L. I do like the new intro though!

Man This Video Is Good Southern Plains Railfan And Nice Catch Of A Dash 8!

Neat to see those old Dash 8s still being used on BNSF

Great video, awesome, AWESOME, more please, . ✌️👍

1:35 that’s a very sad tanker car I see there lol

If anyone wants to come up to Minnesota, there is a train that operates on the Hinkly sub , with not one but two Dash 8’s still in ATSF colors , don’t know where the two units are right now but I know one could possibly come up my way on the Lakes sub this weekend . Don’t know if this helped anyone or not but o well :-)

9:16 UP Still has roughly 100 or more still on their roster

I saw that same BNSF war bonnet in Topeka, Kansas

It looks like there's either a laser or a laser reflector on the trolley that gadget at7:12is towing, so it's probably to make sure that it's leveled properly, like road surveyors do

*watches the part with the B40-8W's at the beginning* It's crazy how the mighty have fallen with those units from GE though: They were once hustling hot shot intermodal trains on the Santa Fe Mainline, mainly at doing speeds like say up to 70 MPH in some areas... and now just look at them: Being reduced to just switching duty/yard work.

Awesome catch SPR I might fix that drawing I made u with the plow

Good video. Side note here....the last part of the video you were on my old stomping grounds. Tuscola. I was wondering if you had any more videos from there. I grew up in Tuscola (and now live in Missouri) and remember seeing Chessie, Mopac, and Illinois Central. Sadly they are all gone now. But hey thanks for the small clip. Keep them coming

The 2nd MOW machine was a tamper. Its job is to lift ties into proper position and tamp ballast under them.

You should visit this town named Danville Illinois Norfolk Southern crosses the CSX and on the Norfolk Southern it’s the Wabash district so you can see trains 255, and 256 CSX’s Line Also, comes out of Bedford Park Chicago so it sees intermodal and manifest traffic.

Awesome catches!

3:42 typical cn. I’ve seen so many geeps that have lazy patch and numbering jobs. For example, cn 4910 is an ex gmtx leaser, and they patched everything over in black, except the word ‘locomotive’, and then just spray painted “cn 4910” on the cab. It’s been like that for about a year.

Burlington Northern Santa Fe?!

i enjoy these videos

Great video keep up the content my friend.

8:42 I saw that same train Lemont lol

I caught some BNSF warbonnets, one in Western springs, IL and one in Superior, WI

Why does it seam like everybody has a death wish when it comes to trains? It’s also weird that crude oil train didn’t have buffer cars. Idk, maybe the tanker cars coupled to the locomotives had something in them.

7:23 It's a surveyor a large device that measures angles, banking, grade, Etc. from a fixed point. Your Welcome !

I caught a UP C40-8W 7005 in western springs

Cool video

Luckily enough I got to see 156 before uh, you know

I’m still so glad we now have a BNSF B40 preserved and supposedly is gonna be repainted as a Warbonnet. Let’s hope one of their C40-8Ws can meet the same fate. I see the AC6000CWs as motive power that couldn’t reach their full potential, because they were too powerful. Plus, they look so damn cool! EMD’s SD90MACs had it worse unfortunately, although I don’t know every problem they had.

4:03 I have footage of this exact consist passing my house!

I caught one 5 years ago

​Why doesn't Burlington Iowa have a live rail cam?

Another w video from a w person.

dash 8's YYEESS😈😈

Someday I want railfan with u

Whats up, + im the second like 👍

Is there ever gonna be a face reveal?

1st person here 14 seconds old

Unfortunately common sense is lacking everywhere and will get rarer...cause Walmart doesn't sell it.

He needs to go to other places lol
