This is why I admire BNSF. First thing you notice is the road bed. It’s immaculate. In the middle of no where too. No other railroad has roadbed like that. Secondly, the volume of trains and how fast they are moved and how closely together they follow behind one another just shows the proficiency and hard work of the railroad and it’s crews. BNSF is just awesome.

Imagine each one of those cans being transported on our highways. Rail transport is the best!

This really is a show .By golly never been so excited watching so many trains in such an amazing location .

I spent 18 hours in a crappy little motel waiting out a sand storm in Ludlow 43 years ago. I was on my motorcycle heading to Little Rock, Arkansas. Crappy little town but great video. Love railfanning!!

One of the best train videos I've ever seen. Unbelievable amount of cargo.

As a Brit watching this it just blows my mind! Mind you, tip to tip England is only 603 miles as the crow flies. Somewhat different to the States! Fantastic vid - thanks for sharing. (p.s. Had some fab holidays in the States, very hospitable people!)

Great long shots showing several trains moving at the same time. Very impressive. Thanks.

Wow, thats incredible dispatching. And a very well presented video. Love the location and sound too. Big thumbs up. Lost count of how many times I watched this now.

All of those "BEEP BEEP , CLICK CLICK" shows that he is a multi tasked rail fanner. Shows respect of both video and pictures. Nice video again! lol

Awesome train video! I love to see trains rolling through the desert scenery.

Hands down the best train video I've ever seen!

Just stumbled on this epic video - mesmerizing! Now I wanna find that spot and watch the real thing. Thanks for sharing!

Awesome video! It’s pretty cool too see that much train traffic on just two sets tracks! Very cool!

Awesome video. You found some great POV's to shoot from, and also encountered some friendly crews who greeted you with some horn action. Ludlow is one of the best places in CA to railfan if you can put up with the extremes in the weather. It can get damn hot out there, as well as pretty cold. Good job all around!

This video has got to have the most containers I have ever seen, stack trains rule... thanks for posting.....

I can't believe there were so many trains in one place. Thanks for sharing and for outstanding filming. Hope to see more from you.

It's just wonderful!!!

This is an AWESOME place for watching trains. You are so lucky. I'm JEALOUS

Who needs signals when you can see the train you'll be meeting! :) Awesome scenery and video! GREAT JOB! I love that part of the country.

Holy Toledo. This is the coolest awesome video I've seen in a long time. Great work on this u did. Wish I was out there seeing all of this nonstop movement and recording them myself. Glad I watched this because I sure enjoyed very much.

Outstanding video. I could watch this all day!

Busy Busy Busy Transcon Route. Too many meets to count. Great Video!!

Loving it,,,From Pakistan.

This video gives new meaning to the term " wild wild west " wish I could have been there!

Wow!!!! Amazing video!!!!! I´ve fallen from de chair!!! That´s something impossible at Spain. Greetings from hundreds of kilometres!

I live in Midland TX and we have these container train going and coming. From Allen Tx to Long Beach, CA and back. Pushers and middle helpers, art deco on the cars, 1 or 2 hobos!!!!

They use signalling, high red, high green, let's them know what sidetrack they should wait on and what train has priority over the other. Sometimes they wait for hours on a sidetrack until the other train passes, clearing the way until the next time.

i drove past this yesterday coming home from bakersfield its cool too see!

Artistic and almost ballet-like! Absolutely stunning! Great job, Trains232!!!

Spectacular. Great job! The BNSF separates the south 40 from the north 40 at MP 231.6, but not like that. I see trains all the time, yet here I am on a very cold blustery day in central Texas watching trains. Go figure. Again, great job!!!!!

It is not fanciful to compare your use of the camera lens with the use of the paintbrush and oils by the great masters of the art world. The sequence at 11:00 of two trains moving left to right on the screen, but heading in opposite directions is superb. The concluding sequence is stunning with the rear of the train rounding the curve in the dying rays of the sunset leading your eye to the front of the train - so far in front. While the operation of the railway is an essential part of the whole, it was a poor second to the images captured by your camera work. My appreciation of your art knows no bounds.

Breathtaking!

You guys are great, thanks again.

Disfruto mucho con estos largos trenes que me hacen recordar cuando yo viajaba. Excelente vídeo.

That's a great spot, and you captured what we on the rail call a "cluster." Railfans love them, but railroaders hate them. What you have is a bunch of trains held for 2 Z's. It's what the customer pays for, but challenging to dispatch.

Very nice video train, love from Vietnam.

Thank you for sharing....Absolute great video

Right place at the right time!!! 😎👍👍👍

Wow Non stop! LOL! Not one Amtrak...All day? Great views; Landscape, Trains, Wildlife. Awesome show! Thanks.

That is how goods should be moved around a country.Viva American railways.

now i want to go here just to sit there for a day and watch the trains seems like they get a good flow through here

I love the welded rail. So smooth!

I spent a few night in Ludlow. I was driving truck. I would like to take a vacation one year and spend some actual time here checking out the town.

Awesome! Talk about being in the right place at the right time! Another great video!

Отличное видео, смотрел много раз. Как на другой планете...) Спасибо автору...,

Warren Buffett paid an estimated 26 billion dollars for the Burlington Northern Santa Fe would be in a Cell so I wish them good luck it's a very beautiful railroad to watch operate the backbone of America along with the Union Pacific CSX and I hope this helps our economy rebound

That's how you run a railroad! 4:00 minutes into the video and I can tell this is a hell of a video Great light, great actions and great shots, Robert!

A good example to illustrate the massive amounts of China imports coming into this country and to consider how many US manufacturing jobs are exiting.

You have some of the best train videos on youtube! Great locations to and I cant believe the amount of trains in one area at a time!

Wow, what amazing shots! I definitely haven't seen this many trains in one place before...awesome video!

The scenery is starkly awesome. The length of the trains defies the imagination. The railroading knowledge and skill needed to make sense and safety of all of this is amazing.

i love this videos fo lots of large freighters trhough deserts or similar places. in spain is difficult to see this, because of the lenght of the trains and the places where they pass

Ludlow is about 52 rail miles east of Barstow, CA on the BNSF Needles Subdivision. It is accessible from I-40, and has a small motel that caters to railfans. The reason it is so busy is because this is BNSF's mainline between Barstow and Chicago. Barstow hosts BNSF trains to and from the Bay Area via the San Joaquin valley/Mojave line, as well as Los Angeles and the ports of San Pedro, San Diego and Long Beach. This guarantees a steady stream of trains day and night.

This is one long train. It's amazing how two locomotives are able to move all those cars. It look like a mile long

This is the best railfan I've seen yet. Wonder how he was able top hop to place to place to video all of this. That dispatcher really had his hands full. Sincgranazation is the key. Just like air traffic controler.

Heck with counting meets. I couldn't count the trains without noting the lead unit numbers.

FANTASTIC, VERY GOOD.

This is awesome. On Google Earth I found the exact hillock you were perched on. I've never seen this kind of action outside of a train yard. I had no idea there were consecutive passing sidings out in the boondocks like this.

Great video! That is one incredible area!

Great camera work. Thanks for sharing.....

Superb events. Another great video.

Saya dari Malaysia, wow sungguh cantik pemandangan di tempat ini, kalau di tempat saya, di semenanjung Malaysia sudah tiada lagi pemandangan cantik saperti ini lagi, sebab semua nya telah tercemar persekitaranya oleh orang yang tidak bertanggung jawab yang tidak tahu tentang kebersihan alam, sekian terima kasih.

i love driving down i20 watching the meets and the dpus pushing up those hills.

Great job getting such a cool video of all these trains passing by.

Wow what a show this video awesome and one of the best.

The Z trains are Highest priority and they have the JB Hunt containers and UPS trailers. The customers pay a premium to get their goods across the country faster than regular S train customers so, yeah, the lower priority trains wait. I'm an engineer on a commuter train and sometimes I wait for a Z.

Gracias compa por tus videos y tiempos de esa época .....super bueno .

Total awesome video!Great!Thumbs Up

USA has amazing landscape.

I can't imagine the amount of truck traffic taken off the highway the trains here represent. Fun video!

Looks like my flat screen and toilet paper is on its way.

Excellent Video,man what i would give for a day like that!! Thanks

Absolutely awesome video and even better ending as you listen to and watch the train go into the distance. A*

if I would see this in person, I would need a box of tissues, this is so cool!!!!

BNSF ALWAYS MAGNIFICENT,LOVE YOU ALWAYS BEAUTIFUL!

super video,,,İstanbul, Türkiye..., thanx...

Am I the only one who thinks 11:30 looks like a model train set? Amazing footage!

Great video!!! I counted at least 10 meets. Fantastic shots!

Great work!! I love the lighting.

Awesome stuff!!! Loving it in Jersey!!

wow! Awesome catches!

Love it be beautiful ❤️ from Indiana ☮️

Fantastic Video ! ! Look forward to seeing more...

Great video, one of the best I have seen.

Aweosme bro! I remember watching this as a young kid!

Nice video, probably one of the best I've seen on here!

Nice capture 👌👍👍👍👌

Waw very nice thank you

I love it was fantastic video,

Westbounds into Barstow sometimes may be held out online due to the yard congestion therefore the dispatcher tries to hold them hold them back at a location that won't get a log jam going. It happens quiet often especially during heavy traffic and when a yard has to work the train on arrival so they run other priority trains around that do not have yard work at the crew change yards. Also the destination of the train may be having mechanical or congestion problems so they hold em back.

Wow this is really amazing There’s a lot of train’s

I remember seeing 1:25 a long time ago and being amazed of how many trains there was

Unbelieveable show!!

Superb

THATS THE LONGEST TRAIN I EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE !!!!!!!!!

Nice catch....

Stunning !! Only the Americans can put on a show like this !! And why have I got the line from that old song " little boxes, little boxes made of ticky - tacky " going round in my head ??!!

id say this meet is biger bigger than all the meets I've experienced

All I can say is wow!!!!

This is one of the best videos ive seen in a while. GOOD JOB!
