UP is now running trains up to 300 cars (empties. . .) but only about one a day due to siding lengths.

5 engines. 219 cars. (Maybe). I need to get a life.

That's some train. More than 200 cars and each probably at least 50 feet long. Almost two miles, but my math is pretty fuzzy! Thanks for sharing this crazy video.

Sitting at a crossing waiting for the behemoth to pass you might think it will never end.

I counted 218, but the video was interrupted once by a commercial, so it could be 217 or 219. I used to watch Jaw Tooth videos all the time, and this is about the same as the longest train I ever counted in his videos, which are mostly shot in Ohio.

Based on an estimated 24mph speed (which it looks like this train is doing at least that), and the 10 minutes it took to pass, this train would be approximately 4 miles long! If it is going faster than that, it is even longer. Nice catch!

This was pretty long just imagine if you are stuck at a railroad crossing intersection waiting for thing to go through you might feel like it’s a never ending journey

5 diesel locomotives, 16 autoruck cars, 201 double stack-cars, total 222 wagons freight train. This ultra largest freight train is longest than Japanese Mt. Fuji but, shortest than Rockey Mountain.

I counted 217. If this train would’ve been in my country, I doubt it would fit in between our borders. Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱.

That’s Precision scheduled railroading for

We pulled up next to a stopped BNSF locomotive in our RZR in Yucca, Az. Yelled up to the engineer, how may cars? He shrugged and yelled back, I don't know but 14,600 feet. Just short of 3 miles!

You definitely got a good size stack attack

When I get caught by long trains after awhile I always think of the line from Smokey and The Bandit. "Damn he had a lot of friends".

Wow, that was a good one! Just think if it stopped for an issue and the crew had to walk it. lol

just saw the title of this video: HILL 582! GIANT Port Stack Train! 256 Rail Cars! 7 .... (didn't count)

That’s a very looong train! Nice catch!

Can you imagine a dragging equipment indicator going and the conductor having to walk that train!!

counted 217 cars I think that's a monster!!!

Australia and Africa Hold The World Records For Longest Trains and Nice Shots Larry Happy New Year

Train: ISALB Length: 14,958

This is crazy! Maybe they're all full of pillows. ;-)

nice catch, I was there a few days ago but only stayed for one train

I once saw a Sasquatch. He made a sound you wouldn’t to hear twice.

217 wagons ultra longest freight train !! Over 200 wagons ultra longest freight train is very sharpest ❤😍💖❣💕💘

Thanks for the video...

Wow, there are locomotives in between the train. Needs a lot of traction power.

It's 215 and 220 with power. Can't run um through the gorge (columbia river) that long. But they do over by North Platt. Desert metropolises could not exist without the railroad. Gose to show how they continue to cut back on crews.

I measured out a spot near kingman on Google earth between signal lights. The longest train I watched was one or two cars short of two miles.

Very long nearly flat with few grades that are near steep. Longer trains make sense because it is much easier to pull longer trains on flatland. I am sure this train becomes broken into much smaller units before going down to nearly sea level headed into the Los Angeles area. I have seen very long container trains out in the desert beyond barstow, CA headed towards the east. Again, this area seems very flat with few steep grades.

I've seen a container train every bit as long, but being transported by only TWO locomotives - L-147-L-78. Yes... 225 units & 2 locomotives, & the locomotive behind unit 147 appeared dark & did not even sound like it was providing any power at all. Yes, I have proof for those who want it!

Great video ! The 3 GE's on the headend are online pulling the train. The EMD is isolated UP 3086, for good reason, it serves as a spacer, and a backup should 1 of the other locomotives fail in route. Under timetable special instructions, the horsepower ratio of 4 locomotives exceeds the tractive effort output for the territory, that would risk tearing up the rails. Tractive effort on a single locomotive is 386,000 lbs. per axle. (wheel to axle) 3 powered locomotive's 18 axles turning 386,000 lbs. at one time, puts a lot of stress on the rails, which is the reason "distributed power units" are needed. Auto racks, Intermodal car train are fairly easy to run, there's hardly any slack in the train once it's stretched out. With a train that long, it's key to use the DPU locomotive to maintain the stretch throughout the train, without causing any severe "buff force" on the train. (run in's) A slower speed in running would be necessary, if the engineer was approaching ascending, and descending grades on the territory. I'm of the opinion, there were more empty containers than loads. For that reason, 1 DPU was used to run that rain.

Exactly how many cars ?

Could the long freight trains in the US be a reason for the many accidents at level crossings there, as drivers of road vehicles take risks crossing too late because of the anticipation of a long wait? The length of this train, in particular, seems unnecessary given that it has to have several engines to pull it? Has length become a fetish? (I'm a Brit by the way)

I like top recording extremely good

i counted 222 ? commercial in middle of count. neat train

Great video cool location, thanks for sharing

Pulling 4 diesel locomotives and DPU 1 diesel locomotive, total 5 diesel locomotives are total howsepowers are 30000 howsepowers !! 😮 😲

Is that snow and hi hope you had a wonderful vacation

Where was this filmed

Where was this at?

The slow speed makes seem even larger

How could you ever relax as an engineer at the helm? The longer the train the more likely something could go wrong :( How much longer are they going to get?

Over 200 ultra longest freight trains are not can transportation maniest cargos (over 20000 tons) only, can operation by littlest crews and can cut human costs and transportation costs and littlest of greenhouse gas than trucks and semi-trailers and jumbojet freighters.

I counted 222 cars and 5 units.

If it crashes that bad and its like 1 and a half miles

That like record for guinness

Bad move with the auto racks on the headend. if that much slack runs in they will pop off. The only saving grace was the DPU in the middle. this train needed two more units on the rear. very underpowered.

I've seen a train longer it had 467 cars and 1 engine on the front and 3 in the middle and 2 on the back. But I didn't video it

i counted 222 carriages

Rip to the people at the crossings

NOT the longesttrain ever. In Australia they have some mining company trains longer than this. The videos are here on YT if you look for them.

Nice try. A good simulation (but still, a simulation)
