- You've never seen anything like this. Transfer Table, building a cross-over in an hour and F-3 excitement. Western Pacific first generation diesel in action. HD
This is a good demonstration of how rail building and/or repair goes so much faster than a concrete or asphalt road. In wartime, rail traffic can be up and running quickly.
i like the way this video shoots the Amtrak train several times as if it was impatiently waiting
Katherine Perez the Genesis locomotives even look naturally upset. Just fits so well
Hahaha!
The genesis locomotive: old timers these days huh?
The F unit: I HEARD THAT!!!
I like
Glaring omission was video of the temporary track disassembly, after the old unit had crossed over.
+hughvane, Agree.
+hughvane That's exactly what I was going to post (-:
+hughvane Well old boy, you have to call them as you see them. We only had one camera there so I chose to film the F unit on the transfer table and not the guys taking up the track. We already saw them put the track down I think it was more interesting watching the transfer table in operation.
Don Mccuaig ł
I'd imagine if you reversed the film, that would be pretty close to the disassembly.
That horn is nice. Awesome that they were able to lay down a temporary crossover rail for this unit so quickly..then take it off to allow amtrak to go through
Hopefully the Horn was on the service list. Sounds like my son when he was learning baritone...😜
This train horn is actually supposed to sound like this. Horns like these are some of the first ever air horns and are no longer regularly used.
Wow that is so accurate to beginner baritone players
There´s a lot of clever people out there and that was not a simple task. Well done to everyone who made it work.
Of course by this point the Capital Corridor was already over 24 hours late so it wasn't that big a deal. :)
greg55666 and the Coast Starlight was 36 hours late
And don'y forget about the Pacific Surfliner, 2 days and 14 hours late
Lmao
greg55666 XD
LMAO I thought trains on Indian Railways only run Late😂🤣
The guys that pulled this off are awesome! I'd love to hand around that shop for awhile!
traindad77, that's great that you saw this every Wed. but I have never or most of the viewers have never have seen anything like this. I don't think anyone thought to film it. Now it's on video for all to see. Don
Don Mccuaig Its ingenious.
***** yes any doubt
+Don Mccuaig and I for one thank you for filming it :)

+Don Mccuaig, I did 44 years on British Railways , and I have never seen anything like that !
What a great soilution!! Clearly a "we can do this" attitude. And the unit looks brand new!! Great job!!
I remember when there was still track in the old yards, about 10 years ago. Now, there are streets and signals going through it. A friend of mine said there are still a lot of unfinished locomotives inside those shops, along with thousands of tools, parts, etc
Thats it , Im moving to Cali. trading my sunrise for the sunset; my 2 weeks notice of hurricanes to spontaneous earthquakes; my 82 degree Atlantic to the freezing Pacific. Why? Because Cali got the BigBoy & alot of other cool and long trains. FEC 121 is on its way and I need to get trackside. Im soooooooo glad you caught this. This is something thats rare. Almost as rare as a turntable , (if they still exist). Great Catch. This has made my morning.
Wow. That is beyond crazy. They should install one permanently if they keep doing this. Great great video!
That's one sick-sounding puppy.
I'm so glad I saw this old diesel farting its way into the shed...my life is now complete!
Absolutely Awesome every second of it. I had Ho. model trains back in late 50s. Love those F Units.
I love the trolley that shunts the locos to the shop bays.
That's the horn I remember from when I was a little kit. I remember how much I loved the doppler shift as they went by.
I lived about two blocks from the C&NW tracks in Barrington, IL, and loved the same doppler sounds as these went by on commuter trains into the night...
@@simplywonderful449 Yeah! Very bassy for lack of a better description. Like a tuba!
The doppler shift is still there, if you as an adult go to the tracks when a train is going by today.
Why weren't all the people from the Amtrak train out watching this amazing spectacle? There were even people biking past and literally ignoring it!
Mesmerising! Fascinating, like manoeuvring a huge monster.
Very slick Video,interesting to see a Transverser in operation
I like the sound of the F when pullin hard!
where there's a will there's a way. Great video
Unbelievable !!!!!Great Video Thanks
Congrats on all the views Don! You are the best.
My uncle worked for the Western Pacific
I want that horn for my 1967 International Rat Rod! Probably would be the same vintage (year)
I would have liked to have seen the track dissembled and the Amtrak cross , but this was as wonderful video.
Amazing video indeed. The F3 look just like the Lionel model. In fact, the whole setup could be a Lionel layout - with the exception of the temporary crossover, of course.
Wow this is amazing very skilled RR workers too
The transfer table is neat, and the closing music is nifty, too!
That was NOT music it was precisely 5 notes endlessly repeated. IT WAS JUST NOISE.
@@brit1066 Not true; there are 2 other instruments and a bit of drum kit in background, and there's a little variation in the way the basic motif is repeated. There is a little more going on than "precisely 5 notes" :-) It was a cute little taste of something that, given a little more time, could go somewhere. Bearing in mind that it's just a snippet, I think you underrate what you're hearing here.
Oh, and please stop shouting. Thanks.
P Sells Given a LITTLE MORE TIME IT MIGHT SOUND LIKE Beethoven’s 5th Symphony, BUT I DOUBT IT.
Show's what ya can do if ya set your mind to it. Well done
and I love the transfertable!!! wow this is awesome
I'm proud of you boys. This buds for me go buy your own.
The infrequency of this operation doesn't justify the cost of a permanent track. I worked for UP did this once. We crossed over, picked up a car and bought it back to the Locomotive Works. They only restore cars for the rail museum at the locomotive works, which was built by Western Pacific long ago.
Southern Pacific, not WP.
Interesting. Thanks for posting.
That is Awesome! Thanks For sharing!
very good video! I'm surprised the union pacific allowed this crossing over their main line, b/c "the things that can go wrong"..especially with the Amtrak waiting there for the guys to finish!
Surprising that it went on it's own power.
This was just great to watch! Thanks!
Needs more Cowbell....
THAT is how you steal a locomotive. You have to admire their ingenuity and audacity.
Hahaha - I thought I saw Stromberg at the controls of the transfer table. :D (The Spy Who Loved Me - villain who stole submarines).
Remarkable, thanks for sharing.
ABSOLUTELY-----> AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!. 🙂
Quite a video, thanks for sharing it.
Nice video. thanks for sharing.
I guess one could call this the railroad equivalent of a younger person allowing a member of the older generation to cross the street in front of them....
Good catch Don!!
Came across your train video I like trains just subscribed great train video
Boy that was pretty cool...
Ive been there before in 2015 and they had the locomotive in the museum.
So beautiful!
A thing of beauty.
To those UP workers it is just all in a days work, but it is just cool.
that was awesome thank you for posting
WOW, really amazing. Americans actually did something without bombing the hell out of it.......They must be SO proud.!.
Bello video, como un homenaje a las locomotoras!!!
excellent video thanks
Excellent video.♥
Nicely done people.
The CSRM just recently constructed a unique, but permanent, "raised diamond" that does not interfere with UP operations and is available at any time for CSRM use. Check the CSRM facebook page for the story and photos.
Adding a diamond would mean that Amtrak Capitol and other trains would have to slow to 40 mph in an otherwise 79 mph area. As infrequently as CSRM needs to cross the UP main line, a temp crossover is the best solution for both.
The location is right next to the Amtrak station, so no train is going to be going 79mph!
That Was Amazing video that really stands out so I subscribed to your Channel keep up the Good Work!!
cool, thanks
A good plan... A great job...
That's out on the Martinez Subdivision. It runs between the Roseville Yard in Roseville California to Emeryville. Amtrak's California Zephyr runs this sub as well.
good job lads
"MUST SEE" is so much bullshit on youtube. OK interesting video minus that loud crap music as soundtrack.
papoocanada What a happy guy you must be.
Cool it ,this is cool. And I've seen it in person
That's actually not a soundtrack or music that's the locomotive real nose. That clap is called a bell.
+papoocanada Yo, bro-dude, chillax. I really enjoyed seeing this. You gotta know that we're all bro's on SpaceShipEarth and you REALLY need to relax.

Nice horn.
Maybe they can give the Queen Mary its horn back once it's in the shop.
Why would they give it the 913's horns? As far as I know the 913 has always had these two Leslie A200's
Why not have a permenant diamond?
Because that would make way to much sense.
There’s been one since 2012 I think
My guess is why they didn't have permanant tracks in place already there ?
I love this!
bet there is a diamond here today
Ths bell is really irritating.
@ 3:02, the open swinging gates lead me to conclude that this isn't the first time for this.
That was interesting, thanks.
Those guys just should’ve put in A diamond
great video. interesting
Brilliant.
I wonder if UP kept any of their E units for directors trains, etc. they were really nice!
Im 19 and work on the rails with CP and alberta oil refinery's and thats pretty cool but dangerous that'll most likely get you kicked off site with the company without the big boss's approval but still have yet to see something like that
Hardly the most amazing, but interesting just the same. Thanks for posting.
And the UK would allow what is perceived to be unsafe temporary rail setups. In another vid, they find, um, "inventive" methods to get a steamer onto a flatbed truck.
What a fascinating game of leap loco you've caught here. I've never seen that done, though I suppose it's inevitable when major railroads remove diamond crossings from heritage sites. Any chance of signing a contract to reinstall the junction?
Wow amazing
music sounds like unreal tournament
the horn sounds shy X3
That's about as exviting as it gets here in ol' Sackymeny.
Yeah, "sack o tomatoes" can be boring, huh? Railroad activity is always exciting for railfans. To see a museum piece like the F-3 (over 50 years old) being accommodated is a bit exciting; however, a good deal of the excitement comes from seeing the shops activity in the video as well. At this time, I understand a standard crossover has now been built to avoid this unusual way of crossing.
Does the transfer track have to be carefully, finely adjusted back and forth to be lined up with the receiving rails?
Or is there a notch and it is automatically line up?
That was an amazing video! Doesn't the Sacrament Railroad Museum maintain a permanent connection to a main line for sending and receiving motive power and rolling stock? I can't believe their operation is marooned, cut off completely from the outside world.
Fantastic!:-)
Always loved trains as a kid with LOTS of Triang toy trains but got into aviation & flew Airbus's 'till I retired recently. Should have been a train driver, would have been more fun, flying commercially is bloody awful these days!
Só trem bonito cada máquina coisa de louco.
The weird thing is, Still on 2016 Google earth satellite pictures there is cross tracks nearby, which leads to same workshops. i am curious why those aren't used
As mentioned earlier, this event was over 5 yeras ago and UP has, in fact since replaced the crossing with a permanent one...YEAH!
The Railway engineers in uk take note Watch and learn!
+woodysheds Watch and learn? We had invented the flat crossing before 1840! Come on, Yanks, catch up!
nice it worked
I didn't know they could do that.
Yah know that's one of those now I've seen everything moments.
thats one scary lookin train
Who the hell builds a railway repair facility without a way for a train to get to it, MY tax payers money at work again I guess.
well, cheaper than maintaining a live cross ...but wow
