Thank you very much! I really hope these units are back out on the rails one day…

Thank you!

I’ve gotta say, I didn’t even notice that. Nice catch!

Thanks!

I do too! Sounds great

I’m actually from Colorado, travel down there frequently!

Unfortunately, I think a lot of them are getting repainted... they're definitely becoming more rare!

Thank you so much!

Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it, definitely my favorite rail line!

@@trains5.9 Right so 👍

Agreed! I’m glad you enjoyed!

Thanks so much Coen! I truly appreciate it! Those have to be my top catches, aside from 1943 the other day! That was absolutely awesome and it was really nice meeting you out there! Thanks for watching and hope to see you again in the future!

Agreed!

Very neat! Thank you so much for the kind words and thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching! I’m glad this video helped!

Thank you, I appreciate it!

I do! Unfortunately, my phone wasn’t recording in 4K, but I may try to upload at some point!

@@trains5.9 would love to see it due to the unique power on rear. I love video showing the entire train.

You’re right on the money! I keep forgetting to put the dates, since I’m a little behind on the videos currently. August 19th, 2023 was the exact day And I couldn’t agree more… especially with the Semaphores’ looming replacement, those shots are really becoming some of my favorites! Thanks so much for watching!

Thanks for the quick reply. Can never get enough Semaphore shots. The military train is equipment from 1st Stryker Brigade Combat Team of 4th Infantry Division heading to CA for National Training Center Rotation 23-10.@@trains5.9

@@dcmkris absolutely! And thanks for the information. I really love military trains… they are really neat to see, all of the equipment moving out to California. Thanks again!

Should be about 70 mph, track speed for a good portion of that stretch of track

@@trains5.9 Thanks. A question do you ever watch train videos based on European trains. I ask because the track speed are very high in comparison. A good example would be a new range of electric locos being delivered to the UK for freight work. They envisage running at 100mph.

@@BJHolloway1 yes I have seen a few videos before! Those do move very fast, quite a bit over what US freights can do. Definitely highlights the differences!

@@trains5.9 I think the tracks are the key.

Looks like it would be awesome from the cab! Thanks for watching!

My pleasure! Thank you for watching!

Thank you so mark, Mark! Always great to hear from you! I definitely feel the same way… I try to put the viewer into whatever scenario I’m in, simply because I enjoy watching videos that put me in the moment as well! Thanks again for the kind words and have a great day!

Greetings! I appreciate you checking out the videos and giving them a watch. I’m glad you’re enjoying the channel so far, and happy to have you around!

Thank you!

Thank you! I have to say, the Semaphore signals are something else! Thanks for watching!

Nice to see them still in action@@trains5.9

Thank you for watching! I’m glad you enjoyed the video!

That definitely is the case sometimes, but in this case, they were being transported

Thanks so much for watching! And absolutely, there were some neat things out there, more to come!

Thanks! Haven’t seen a mega load since the day they broke a couple of knuckles trying to make it over Palmer Lake but the empties still come through like that. You’re right, the money part is a huge issue these days too… seems like every company is trying to cut as many corners as possible!

@@trains5.9 busted knuckles on a mega coal load???... and with DPUs and still got busted knuckles... wow what the heck???

@@25mfd I know! I don’t know the specifics of it, but I have a video on my channel with one of the mega loads they ran awhile back, and I heard after the fact that they had broken a couple of knuckles, definitely haven’t seen one since then. It had front, mid, and rear units!

That’s awesome! Definitely hard work but I’m sure it pays off to be able to operate something so massive. Thanks for the comment!

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it, I do appreciate you watching!

Thank you! Definitely so, I absolutely love the power on the Sunset Route!

Very nice, I’ll take a look at it! Thanks for watching mine!

Agreed! Absolutely the best I’ve ever heard, such a cool engineer! And they’re ranging from Trinidad to Palmer Lake. Whenever I try to do the chapters, they don’t really work too well, but I’ve been putting the locations in the description section. Hopefully that helps a bit, thanks for watching!

Definitely the Sunset Route! It stays really busy down there but the Joint Line has its days, as well. Lately, there have been quite a few trains over a 24 hour period here.

@@trains5.9 I'm close to the Joint Line near Denver. I enjoy this route but the trains seem sporadic. How do you know when trains will be coming, do you use a radio? Thank you.

@@5thman677 you’re welcome! And yes, I use a Yaesu FT-25 scanner. It’s also a dual band scanner so you can enter channels into it that can monitor the EOT frequencies and let you know when a train is getting close. But being close to Denver, it tends to pick up lots of the yard channels as well!

Yes! There’s lots of shots from there. If you get a chance, you should try to get some action there one day. Definitely an awesome place! Also, further west near Gila Bend, Mohawk and Tacna is really scenic as well, if you like the desert!

Right! I will have the video of it at some point!

Thank you! And absolutely, definitely one of the best feelings chasing the trains. Especially, like you mentioned, having to speed down the road to get back in the chase!

Thanks! And yes, the air definitely had a strong smell of smoke but breathing wasn’t really an issue!

Also do you know what was causing the locomotives to bounce?

I believe there's a small dip in the tracks right before the crossing. Those locomotives definitely bounce through there. Next time, since I have a better camera, I will get a shot from the distance so you can see it head on!
