- 1-1-1-1!! Canadian Pacific 8808, CP 8865, CP 8549, CP 8612 southbound at mile 59 of the Mactier subdivision in Essa pulling double stack intermodal and autorack cars. (27MAR2012)
This huge CP 8808 was having an oversized meet in Baxter and then to the "mile 27 parking space" near Bolton.

Thanks for dropping by!
Imagine being late to work and you get stopped by a train for 4 minutes
bruh if only this train was going at restricting speed
In the US sometimes there are 3 mile long stack trains that block roads for 30 mins!
Now this is what I call a train! Thanks for bringing this to us. Loved it.
I fell asleep and woke up and the same train still going by 🤪
The sound lulls you to sleep. :)
That's one of the longest trains I've ever seen. 4 Diesel powered locomotives hauling about 180 carriages. Incredible.
CP 8808 leading a Monster Stacktrain 0:58
8865 as the DPU 1:58
8524 as the 2nd DPU 3:15
8612 as the Rear DPU 4:32
Don't call it train just say great wall of China just pass from here.
Lmao
And ironically most of the stuff on that train is probably from China.
True
LMAO TRUE ALSO ITS FUNNYZ
Hahahaha
Awesome! My dad was a train driver when I was a little boy so this is mesmerizing to me. Thanks for uploading.
Lots of railroad guys up this way too. Thanks for watching, JJ & Jason
For railfans, this is a great video. And for an environmentally consious one, it shows how much truck mileage can be reduced when shipping is done by rail.
Railroads on average, move one ton of freight nearly 500 miles per gallon of fuel. Cheers & thanks, J
This is for me hands down the greatest train video ever!! Very impressive!! Simply amazing 😉
Thanks but I have better ones. lol This is my fav: th-cam.com/video/cd5k5Phxcl8/w-d-xo.html
4 engines+178 cars I counted... Approximately 3.6 km!
3600m holy sht!
Estimating an average of 25m per vehicle with a total of 180 this would be 4.5km. The engine is like 18m and the cars are much longer.
Estimating roughly 70km/h and 4,5 Minutes travel time would make 5,25km.
Anyways that train is just massive. Only concerned about crossing security and braking paths.
2.2 miles
i just wonder is it real or not. How can a engine pull 178 cars...
@@a590631 Not 1 engine! All 4 engines would have been supplying power! No way only one engine could pull that many cars at that speed. In trains of that size, all engines must be supplying power.
Very evenly distributed power. Less strain on the couplers. All under the control of a 2 person crew. Its all about moving as many "cans" as possible as cheaply as possible. Well done.
177 wagons + 4 locomotives ! Respect !
178
@@AndrePereira-tw5vsi counted 177
Oh my god.... The longest train ever I have ever seen..... It was just amazing
Thank you for dropping by! JJ & Jason
Wow. 2 mid train DPUs separated among cars. Fantastic video
Beautiful. That's a big train for that kind of power and DPU set-up. Great video.
I can’t stop watching this. This is great.
Just unbelievable. I have never seen a train with three DPU’s. I really hope to see something like this one day
177 wagons and 4 locomotives, wow!! 👏👏👏
Carles G. 177 Intermodal Cars And 4 Ac4400Cw Canadian Pacific Diesel Locomotives.
Very Very Large!!
@@pokeyrailfanning they weren't all Intermodals.
Never seen a train so long! Amazing!
Imagine that each of these flat cars are carrying the loads of two trucks on the highway!
Plenty of power needed in this 181 car (overall including locomotives) lashup. The ES44AC's do a great job. I like how the locomotives are in different sections of the train, front, 1/3, 2/3, and rear. But 6x SD40-2's would be better, much more noise!
It seemed the distributed power was perfectly matched strategically for this train. Much despised but top notch railroader Hunter Harrison when he was CEO insisted on this sort of matching enabling CP Rail to reduce the stable by some 500 locomotives saving many many $$ in leasing costs. That stretch of mainline between Essa and Tottenham on the Mactier Sub used to need pusher engines coming uphill from Lambton Yard Toronto in the days of steam.
Gord Merrick Look at the date of this video. This was before H.H. arrived at CP. Long intermodal trains with remotes were running in 2008.
One of the longest trains I have ever seen. Great capture!
Really great video!! Wow!! I never see a 2 CP engine on the Mid DPU but it was separated! The CP engine was on the rear DPU! This must be so powerful!
176 cars double stacked. Thats close to 340 containers. Amazing.
@Prathamesh Pimputkar don't forget, many of those wagons had 2 20' cans on the bottom. I wasn't counting too closely, but I'd hazard a guess at 380-390 containers in total...
For those who have never ridden on a freight train either up in the engine or in the long ago caboose ...It is SO Cool ! In its own way, its very Serene.
Well said! Thanks, J
What an AWESOME CATCH, had to been over 2miles long w the 2 leading engines and 3 DPU's! Nice job.....
Thanks for watching & commenting. Regards, J
Danke, dass du dieses wundervolle Video hochgeladen hast.
That's The longest goods train I've ever seen in my life. I even tried counting them all. That beats the guinness book of records.😄
177 ;)
As JayJr pointed out nearly all the wagons are double stacked so not 7000 tons may be 14000 tons sorry if my mis calculation caused any problems
Really cool to see two mid DPUs spread out like that. CP is awesome.
Great video of a massive interamodel transfer love those Canadian Pacific trains thanks
Thank you! J
I count 177 cars. First time I've ever seen single unit mid-train power staged at 2 different points in the train. Impressive.
I got 177 plus 4 engines 181
DRIVER GETTING READY TO DEPART: ah shit i left my phone in the caboose!
I’d hate to be the conductor on that if a knuckle breaks between the second last car and the last one. But on the bright side, the tail end DP is right there. Hopefully it’d have the right type of knuckle on it!
The wind drag must play a part when hauling these double stacks. They have the aerodynamics of bricks. I'd think streamlining them could really improved fuel mileage while at speed?
Great video, thanks for sharing it. Never seen a train that long
definatley 110 nice shot jayson 177 cars on this one. I got 110 with 8956 and first mid train 9361 back on march 10th
Fantastic video, thanks a lot!
Thanks for watching! J
322, including doubles
Thanks I was wondering how many.
Oh boy! The train was long enough to circle the earth- a true monster train.
smart distribution of power on a long train!! bet it could do 70mph,and make good time to its terminal!!
It WAS doing about 60mph in the video, but in canada freights are limited to 65, and all freight locos geared for that speed...
Man i wish i could see another 70mph+ train, i saw the VIA canadian doing 75 once... pure awesomeness, i tell ya
@@thestarlightalchemist7333 The Vias run 90 MPH along the Toronto - Montreal corridor.
*now imagine trying to slow down the train with so much mass moving forward*
@@thestarlightalchemist7333 It slowed down though from it's initial speed
I often haul rail maintenance equipment for CN, and as awesome as seeing these beastly Intemodal trains pass by is, waiting for track clearance sucks. Especially when there are 140+ cars, and they're only doing 25kph coming off of a siding. I've spent upwards of 3 hours waiting trackside because my track protection couldn't get me a 45 minute window to mount, load and dismount the crossing. Still cool to see trains this size up close though. Great video too!
Yep, if you work for or on the railroad know your day is going to be spent waiting unless you have a work block. Thanks for dropping by. Jason
In 1979 I have travelled while training with Canadian Pacific from Calgary to Revolstock in freight train.That train was about two km long .I travelled in first locomotive of train.The load was hauled by about six locomotives.Engr

That was an invasion not a train! Amazing.
This is really it, watched until I fell to sleep😴😴😴
Unbelievable. What an absolute monster.
Este ferrocarril es un monstruo,cosa impresionante,y a la vez una maravilla poder ver cosas coma está.
Now THAT my friends, is a freight train. Set up beautifully, no empties , helpers strategically placed, no possibilities of a string line. I was a freight Conductor for CP about 20 years ago, I worked on some monster 14,000 ton, 12,000 foot coal trains, but that was a absolute monster, probably a 15,000 footer. Wow. Hate to get stopped by a hot box detector. You just know it won't be axle number 25. Lol
Impresionante formación. Excelente captura. Felicitaciones desde El Salvador!
Wao..... what a great operation precisely done.... excellent video
Well, my penny would really have been squashed!
Great video. Thanks for posting.
Distributed Power Unit
DPU
Lovely catch 👌 👏
Thanks a lot 😊
Nice video and train...Great work!!...Big like from Romania!!!!!!
Glad you liked it
Great sound and train /\/ Greetings from south Poland
Thank your for stopping by. Hello from Canada! J
Wow it's crazy 176 cargowagoons
Great video. How many freight trucks would this save being on the highways. We need more rail freight in Australia.
We need more freight railroading in the united States as well. The train in this video took abut 425 trucks off the roads (at least until "last mile" delivery.
MEGA!!!!!!!!!!!! Love the DPU's screaming by!!!
That was the greatest catch ever!
Yes it is. :) .. lol
Thanks for posting this amazing train!!
I posed this question deeper in one of the replies but wanted to post here as well to see if someone knowledgeable can answer. How do the 4 engines sync their pulling power? What makes say engine number 3 pull with the precise amount of force so that engine 3 and the following section does not become engine 1 or engine 2's burden to pull. On the same lines, do they also brake in tandem so as to "share" the burden of slowing the monster down?.
The FTO software controls each locomotive throttle and dynamic brakes independently via wireless connectivity depending on where that DPU is on a hill or a corner. The computer knows how to prevent slack action and other handling issues. Soon enough there will be no crew at the healm; at the very least they will be working from home. Its high time Canada went to positive train control anyway. Cheers & thanks for watching. Jason
couldn't believe it only had 1 engine till I saw the one pushing it at the end too but either way that size a train I figured would need at least 3-4
Can’t believe that this was posted 12 years ago
We have been at this a bit. :) .. Thank you, J
Great Video. Greetings from Switzerland
Thank you. Hello from Canada. J
Me gusta el sonido de las 3 ultimas maquinas. Un arte y ademas una elegancia de tren y complementa con el video.
Love it, superb
Thank you! Cheers!
While the last carriage is leaving one city, the head train is already entering another.
Good god thats a long train !!😎
I've never seen 2 dpu in one train. This is a huge monster
Amo esse sinal que avisa a passagem do TREM 🚆
Gracias.
Prawie 200 wagonów i 4 lokomotywy. Niezły ładunek jego mać.
309 contenedores : 309 camiones menos x la carretera wow tremendas bestias de carga ojala aqui en chile fepasa o ferronor tuviesen ese tipo de locomotoras y ese tipo de plataformas x el transporte de contenedores saludos desde chile!
Great wall of China can be seen from space. I think this freight train could too !! That was amazing. Can't believe the length of these freight trains in North America 👍
Thank you Mark. They are getting to be over 4KM long & soon will be unmanned. Cheers, J
Wow what a consist!
Excelente Video. Tren Intermodal y Transportador De Autos con 4 Locomotoras Del Pacifico Canadiense.
1-55-1-63-1-59-1. Very even weight distribution
How do they coordinate when to speed up / slow down? Instant communication via electronics or people?
And where can this train fit? Do they break off into parts so they can pull in a rail port?
The lean unit radio controls the DPU units. When they pull into Vaughan intermodal, the train is broken down. Thanks, J
@@JayJr2007 Woah, thanks. Could you make an estimate on how much weight this train carried? I'm thinking about 12 thousand metric tonnes.
World's longest train? Imagine being stuck at a level crossing waiting for this to go by!
The crossing in the distance is a dead end road; residents get stuck bending the crossing for 20+ munutes during meets.
Diosss eso sí es un monstruo, es genial como tiene más trenes que ayudan a llevar esas cargas, extremadamente largo ese tren, un monstruo sin duda ⊙.☉
0:59 WHOOSH! Goes the train
Love that sound. :)
nice vid, new sub! Keep up the great work
It's like the energizer bunny it keeps going and going and going and going and going 😆
It needs a looooooong time if you´re waiting with your car at the train crossing, haha!!
You can smoke a cigarette and drink a coffee while the train is passing.
Just 5 minutes
You could take a nap and the train would still be going when you woke up...
Never seen a DPU Train before
Alright this is so cool! I’m subscribing
Thanks man. I'm coming up on 10K subscribers. Jason
It looks SO FAST for a double decker freight... my god I would have been waiting 4 maybe 5 times as long at a crossing in DeKalb, IL.
0:58 so I see the train pulling the cars, but at 1:57 I see another cab going in reverse. So is the cab at 1:57 also helping pull, or is just connected on? Also at 3:15 theres another cab so is there also a person in there controlling that cab and helping pull, or is it just connected? In kinda confused someone pls tell me.
Theres a crew controlling the leading engine upfront and the other three engines are all there helping to push/pull because of the size of the train. Those three are all being controlled from the leading unit.
178 Cars...
Jesus Christ almighty what a Beast...
good catch
With 4 locomotive they can bring 177 carriage and 281container,i just can say "wow" xD
Panjang sekali rangkaian gerbongnya, Amazing.....
I second the motion on jaw dropping clip. Which place is this.
Essa, Ontario, Canada. Cheers, J
Imagine the breaking distance on that beast! WOW!
The braking distance would be about the same as any other train, as braking is proportional - you add another car, you add another set of brakes.
Exactly. Cheers & thanks for watching. JJ & Jason
Distributed Power trains can brake faster than a conventional head-end only train since the brakes can apply and release from all four locations. It would take a long time for air to exhaust or recharge from just a lead loco on such a lengthy consist, not to mention the serious slack action/stress on the front cars.
New to train videos. Is the crew only the 2 in the lead engine?
That is correct; the other locomotives are unmanned and controlled remotely. Cheers, J
Any advantage having the engines in various spots in the train vs. all up front?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_power
Was this around baldwick lane? Maybe sunnidale rd?
That's the spot. :)
@@JayJr2007 sweet! I go there a lot to watch the trains
That's some k5hl horn there and that sounds like a CSX horn
Jeez, how long is that? Thats got to be a two or three miles surely?
Pov
You are in a hurry but you gotta wait for the train to pass.
The train:
Was that really 182 cars and engines. How long are those intermodal and autorack units?? That that and multiply it by 183 and you've got the length of the train. If the average is 60 feet, then the train length was over two miles long!!!!!
Intermodal well cars are closer to 75 feet.
So, about two and a half miles long. That's a long train!!
