- Fort Madison, Iowa is unique in many ways. One prime example is the location of the Amtrak station, which is located practically in the BNSF Railway yard. If you're waiting on Amtrak, or simply railfanning, you can easily witness trains receiving crew changes. Here are five trains seen at the Fort Madison Amtrak station. Enjoy!

I see This every day 5 days a week, I'm a Van driver and pick up and drop off crews in the yards and on the road, greatest people you'll ever meet, they are on these trains up to 12 hours then mandatory 7 to 9 hours carryovers , sometimes less than that then they are back out on the rails again. It's an honor to be able to do this .
Первый раз смотрю,нравиться,вы знайте что важно для отдыха,слышать стук колёс,такое удовольствие,когда тебе тяжело,когда без любимой работы на железной дороге ты включаешь душевное
Да по мозгам бьет звон колокола на тепловозы ужас как они так ездят это что у них такой прибор бдительности что-ли щас же всё электронное. Кстати звук похож на старый советский тепловозный дизель 10Д100 у оранжевого тепловоза на 2:42
I’m a retired locomotive engineer and I really enjoyed this video. Apparently it’s a crew change station. I’m subscribing. Thanks for making my day!👍❤️
Do you feel like labor conditions have gotten better or worse since you left the railroad industry? Most of the country was bracing for a rail strike to not happen.
Watched a crew change in 1987 at Galesburg ILL.....5 guys....train didn't stop...slow to about maybe five mph.....new guys got on then the old crew got off smooth operation....then the remaining three waited for the caboose....which they still had then......they swapped and that was that......van there to pick up the old crew.....
Yeah, we used to change crews like that quite often back in the 70's and early 80's. It was before interdivisional runs. We didn't have to carry large grips back then, so it was a lot easier to get on and off. It was the good old days.
@@old56timer These guys had large duffle bags.....they just swung them up and followed them
@@old56timer And ice chests, brake sticks ,back packs. Glad I'm retired
Can't get enough from Fort Madison....Awesome for you being there....Thank you Thank you
You really put a lot of work into this with the addition of engine #'s and destinations. A+ !!!
Love watching crew changes you should do another one like this
Awseme train action.Nice catch with the 4 BNSF engine lash up on the sideing.
I'm a regular viewer of Fort Madison, but first time I got to view crew change. THANK YOU so very much.
Nice to see Ft. Mad from a different perspective. Thanks.
Been in this yard and right past here many many times when I was chasing work out of Galesburg! Great video!
Fort Madison is one of my favorite railroad towns and the swing bridge and barges are icing on the cake! Thanks for the video.
Whereabouts in America is this
@@patkelly6349 it’s in south eastern Iowa. It’s a BNSF crew change point on their TRANSCON line.
Love the sound of those dynamics
BNSF have some of the nicest looking locomotives and they keep them clean. Nice video thanks for posting enjoyed it a lot.
Thanks for watching!
Canadian Pacific (CP) takes Great Pride in having the Dirtiest Railroad Units in North America.🤪👎
@@kens.3729 😄🤣😄
@Ac Tion BNSF is basically the same as NS, they use the same locomotive GE and EMD, so as CSX, but with different paint schemes, so what’s the differences?
Yeah, when I was still working, I had the opportunity to run the engines of several different railroads, BNSF were the cleanest most of the time.
Excellent video. I enjoy a lot to see train videos. Thanks.
Excellent and revealing video. Well produced and informative. I knew from the Ft. Madison VR cam that there was a crew change location 'just around the bend'. You show comprehensive coverage of both East and West bounds. Thank you for a video so well done, and for me, reveals the actual crew change site.
Greetings,
Cargo Solution Express is looking for a Local driver near Chicago, IL now. Min 6 months exp required.

It's an 11hr shift, railyard intermodal Job. Hook and Drop/Live Load Unload. Mostly local but sometimes drivers need to go to Michigan and Indiana too.
DM or Reply to me if you are interested. We can start the process asap.
These videos are great for new and potential conductors
Thanks for posting this. It is really cool to see the other end, what is happening.
No shaking of hands, no acknowledgement by driver of 5191 to conductor…just common manners
I no longer shake hands since the C19 . Verbal acknowledgment is good.
Why would you want to shake hands ?? A quick run down of the loco's condition or any issues of the train and then it's off to bed.
@@enjoylife1176 sissy that's what you are!
@@craig4867, are you too scared to give up the high school bullying?
@@pjotrtje0NL I didn't know I was bullying you!
This was cool to see this aspect of the job! 👍
Those are some pretty fast crew changes! Here in the Everett area north of Seattle, the lower priority manifests and unit trains sometimes end up waiting several hours or even a whole day for the next crew.
Well if it's a Z-Train those trains can't wait much longer they have got to get moving cause they can't afford to be late. I have seen trains tied down here for like 12 hours and then a crew comes and gets onboard usually manifest but yes low priority
@@Scorges1 Yeah that's true. I do live kind of close to a few container terminals so we do get stack trains but they rarely have to crew change here.
LOVE these videos! More, more, more!
Excellent video, keep them coming!
Excellent Job patriot nice shots stay blessed sir thank you
This is my first to the BNSF crews riding in different locomotives that hook up together with one train how cool is that
wow never knew there was a little door in the front. And that's a big man that walked out. BNSF got some great road colors on those units
There's also a small toilet cubicle inside, roughly behind where the 'B' is on the front. The crew actually have to climb up more steps to get to the cabin area.
THATS A BIG MAN BECAUSE BNSF ONLY HIRES BIG INTIMIDATING MEN!!!! THATS A WHOLE LOTTA RAILROADER RIGHT THERE!!! HE PROBABLY EATS 3 FOOT LONG SUBWAY SANDWICHES FOR A SNACK.
You step inside and there is a second door inside. Once through that inner door, the toilet door is to your right, and you have a small area on your left that has electronics, and it's usually where we store our grip bags. Then you step up 2 or 3 more steps and you're in the cab itself.
They greatly improved safety conditions when they added a walkway on the sides of the engines, specially the old passenger engines (1985 and older diesels)
Hearty Greetings and Congratulations 👏 Enjoyed the production. From India 🇮🇳
Very nice video! Great shot!
Really excellent videos. As a matter of fact absolutely a superb video
thanks to Isaac for getting these iconic pictures .
these are the most important crew .......... across the districts and states ....... finally the ringing bell .....
Great video, EXCELLENT!
Love the noise and all.
Great camera work and most interesting - haven't seen the crew change before. Thanks!
Great Power and Great Corporate image!
Watch the VRF camera mounted facing the new station. Nice to see what is around the bend and off camera.
Great Video! Love the lash ups.
Great video train man, great job!!!
Thanks, Ron!
Excellent work on this one
Thank you, Lewis!
only crew of 2 for those huge trains. I assume the second change was the the crew going for the ride home.
Slow and steady,nice train
Hey thanks for this clip man... It's like another world in the USA... 😊 Hey it's good to see trucks off the road... As in truck trailers, on wagons... Sweet footage, there's nothing like that on the rails, here in New Zealand...
Nice catch of the H1 and KCSM ace
Thanks for watching!
Would love to see a video of how containers go from ship to train and how they are attached.
Excellent well shot.
Thanks, James!
Love the video, good job and nice subject!!
Absolutely nice video 👍
Beautiful
Don't see this too often in videos... Good post.
I drive for Hallcon, a company that taxi’s CN and CP crews in Alberta, Canada. Love the job. Crews are interesting company. 👍
“Interesting” is a polite word for sure. Arrogant, self-righteous, petty are a few other perhaps more honest descriptors. I drive for Hallcon as well.
Absolutely sweeeeeet
Nice job TMBrodie!
My favorite green housing. Cummins Power Generator. Used to work for them.
Que video tan espectacular esas máquinas imprecionante ....!!!
Great video.
Oh wow....!! What a Beast...😊 Big trains in the States man...!! I hear flat spots on some of the wagons tyres....
Cool video, well done!

Similar to crew relief here in England, quick verbal about train performance and any issues, then right away!
Ft. Madison is a Huge Crew Change Point because of its Central location to various Midwest Lines.
Do *Fort Madison* crews operate on any other lines than the *BNSF's* _Transcon?_

You
Wow! What a place, never ben there. Thanks. 8-19-2021
Amazing.
Freight train 16000 horsepower between the 4 engines.. Very cool
Thanks for posting, only seen the part of Ft. Madison that's on VR
Thank you for watching!
In India crew change is amusing After 12or 20 hrs they will will be leaded to a cattle shed like rest house
Great video.im commenting the first time.im from Kuala Lumpur Malaysia.
That is very long container 🚆 train wow nice great view
Thanks...
Cool video thanks for sharing ✌️ 😎✌️😎✌️😎✌️😎✌️😎✌️😎✌️
Amazing!
great vid, great location for vids
Thanks for watching, Patrick!
Great location. Guess it will be crew change only when the new AMTRAK station opens. Nice to have a camera there, thanks for the effort!
Very nice.
Ft. Madison looks the same as it did when I was there. Um, the Warbonnet SD75s were brand new. Yeah, it's been a few years. Pre-BNSF. I was lucky enough to get a few of the last Santa Fe employee timetables.
Salam saya dari Indonesia pencinta lokomotif
The engineers don't wave from the trains anymore, not like they did back in 1954 still get a tear in my eye when I hear an old train in the night!
Never knew how the BNSF train crew getting in or out of the cab of a Locomotive the the 🚪is next to Main headlights on the nose of a train so cool to witness that 😎.
And different locomotives although similar looking have the door on different side of the headlights.
👍👏👏👏👏neet and tidy station and area 😘
I work for Hallcon in Wenatchee WA BNSF has some of the coolest crews here in Washington state.
The engineers don't wave from the trains anymore, not like they did back in 1954!
these loco looks so strong.. nice fotage , greetings new friend
Amazing
Great video
Very useful my friend
1960s-70s trains passing took about 5ms
Nowdays you need a packed lunch waiting for these to pass Long freight .
Awesome 👍👍👍 bro keep it up
I'm from India love you so much. Welcome to you my country in the India.
and in my country, I would have to check the oil, water, fuel level in each locomotive, write everything down, check for all damage, and this crew change would last two hours
When I drove a carry all it was always with 4 rails...Sad to see so many folks not working...
Very Good...
Nice vid. I'm new what's in their bags?
GOSTEI. VALEU. NOTA 10
