Galveston Sub. Rock Train Pace w/Five 645s
Shot on the afternoon of April 12, 2008.
During the last stand of Temple's SD45-2s assigned to local rock train service, I had an epic all-afternoon chase of a Brownwood to Pearland rock train with 3 SD45-2s and 2 SD40-2s for power. The video starts with the train hammering out of Sealy, followed by 7 minutes of pacing a few miles south of town. After a meet at Wallis, we're underway again with a great pull out of the hole, followed by 24 minutes of blissful throttle modulation pacing. Finally, the Brownwood rock train eases through the Tower 17 Interlocking in Rosenberg, ending a great afternoon in the time machine of the Galveston Sub.
I DID USE TH-cam's SHAKE FIX FEATURE, WHICH OVERALL IMPROVES THE EXPERIENCE OF THE VIDEO. HOWEVER, IT DOES ADD SOME WEIRD AND ANNOYING EFFECTS, ESPECIALLY WITH CAPTIONS.

The Hereford Switcher (L-KAN0151-13) departs Canyon westbound for Hereford under the command of three SD40-2s and a GP38 after making a setout. February 13, 2011 at 1939.
6453's patch tho lol My favorite patch job N S F .
2010s were the pinnacle of railfanning also I'ma go to Temple (where it was filmed) to railfan but with another ting BNSF 3815.
I really enjoyed the sound of the horn

Apart from the start and other fleeting shots !!you obviously don't like leaders!!!!!!!!!!
22:50: Happy Birthday (BNSF - best looking design) Should've been in front backwards pulling.
YEA
Sad
Wow.
Sweet bunch of locos still in yellowbonnet paint!
Lot’s of crossing. Not off that horn for very long.
Wow! Simply mesmerizing!
Great videography. Now if we could only have this same video with F-7s. I can only wish I had sound when I took 8 mm movies. Just imagine RSD + 4/5 units crushing along south of Albuquerque on the way to Belen.
Beautiful wagon is almost equal in Brazil comparing wagon GDT that carries orie in Brazil.
Beautiful video and beautiful snoring of the sd45-2. I loved it. Very good, horn chic, A big hug Atencious Rochester Santos in Brazil watching your beautiful video.
You won't beat the sounds of these girls. Every one of these are classics!
The war bonnet units are the ones I liked
Beautiful!
Wow,awesome !
Love those 645's! Thank You for a great video!
It Saddens me that this will never be seen or heard again, The "hum" of those A.T.S.F SD-45"s off in the distance from where I grew up lulled me to sleep many times. Even at 57 years old I felt that same comfort again with this video.Thank you.
It's indeed heartbreaking. Like you and many others, this is the sound of my childhood and losing such things isn't something most have to experience. I've made the effort in the past two decades to experience this dying breed on the DM&IR, B&LE, B&P, and recently the RBMN, but the ability to experience a brace of unmolested 645s out on the high iron is almost completely gone. It sucks. I'm glad you enjoyed the video, and thanks for commenting.
Some of those SD45-2 are alive, working in Brazil for the EFVM (Estrada Ferro Vitoria e Minas).
That is really good footage of the train for being 13 year old footage love it
I believe these 45-2s are still retained the original 645e-v20 3600hp prime mover for the former ATSF. As a SP fan, i noticed the 45T-2s was re-equipped with the v16 3000hp engine because of the broken crankshaft chaos and unreliability proposes.
There was nothing unreliable about the 20-cylinder 645 used in the SD45-2 and SD45T-2. The crankshaft failures only affected early SD45 production and were caused by weld failures in the engine blocks. The SD45T-2's didn't get 16-cylinder engines until they were 25-30 years old.
I just realized that I've seen tons of steam pacing videos but rarely any diesel... pretty cool to see tho
I’ve ran hundreds of SD’s in my career. Definitely best sounding loco around. Nice video.
Good stuff! Especially that opening scene! My favorite Santa Fe paint scheme and some of my favorite SF engines, the SD45-2's. I wonder what the trains crews opinion of them was in 2008. And you even got some dynamic brake action near the end. I like those train cars too. About how many cars would make up a typical rock train?
92 total cylinders rippin 16,800 horsepower
love those SDs...love to hear those diesels throttling up
Great video, classic SD at their best.
i see this video from time to time, is pure 645e3 music, and as you said long life la grange , 645 turboss
this what sex sounds like in EMD form -sighs-
Nice catch. I miss seeing the blue and yellow SF locos. Thank you for sharing. I liked and subbed to your channel
I also miss them too
The best sound ever !! 645s!!
Am glad you felt okay publishing older video. I got mine back in 2008 too I think--my pacing sequence of BNSF 6377 headed in the direction of Weston, Missouri.
Thanks so much for getting and posting this. What a thrill it must have been to have been able to get so much. I was so thrilled when I got about 7 minutes a bunch of years ago. Congrats on getting this. Really enjoyed watching it.
Unrebuilt SD45-2s! Awesome!
Holy shit
he's howling ass!!!!!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
