I'm a UP fan, so I really enjoyed the video. Especially the first train, because the lead locomotive is one of my favourite, the good old AC4460CW. Of course the others are nifty too. The military vehicles are very serious. It's great to see your stuff again, thanks for the update. :)
Awesome! The rebuild really still looked very shiny. I also liked the AC60s. CSX had a couple of them and we would frequently get to see them here on this line. It's sad they're gone.
Great job MB, you know I love those SD70's no matter whose they are. Awesome catch and chase on the Military Train as well, I wish we had more of those come thru here. Keep up the great work.
Excellent videos as usual. The ammunition train likely contained small arms munitions. DOT Class 1.10 & 1.40, there are 6 classifications 1.1 thru 1.6 least to most dangerous. Class 1.1 - 1.4 are Products with no significant risk of creating a blast or hazard. This is the reason why no buffer cars are required and the DPU can be used. The heavy armor trains was equipment from 3rd Armored Brigade Combat Team, 1st Armored Division from Fort Bliss, TX returning from Korea where they had been deployed as the 9th standard Rotational Brigade ~ in support of 2 Infantry Division / Republic of Korea-US Combined Division.
@@mbmars01 To be honest it wasn't until all the hysteria over movements early in pandemic that I took a ton of interest. I noted before hand myself but after thought if people knew how normal it is it would perhaps cut down on overacting to a move.
Interesting, not only are they not running buffers on the train with explosives, but they are also putting a mid train DPU right in the middle of all of it
Seeing this video one would think that the CSX is short of locomotives, after having removed the entire equipment of SD60 (with the sub-models "M" and "I"), SD50 and almost all the C40-8 / W. Apart from this consideration, great video and catches.
This video may be a bit misleading. Most trains here have CSX power. It's just convenient to use foreign run-through power if it is available. Great you like the video!
I have seen cuts with containers containing explosives on manifests, but it's unlikely to see them on regular intermodal trains, which on many lines have higher speed limits.
Those trains (except military) are not Q anymore but M. 7030 is as delivered AC60/44AC w 16-FDL engine 4400hp, I don't know if UP designates them as C44ACM, M yes! As usual I love your neck of the woods and the trains there! Big like 👍🏽👍🏽 up ❗🤘🏽🙋🏻♂️
Right, but when the trains were filmed they still had Q symbols, so I kept the old designation. UP has rebuilt AC60s into C44ACMs. Thanks, great you enjoyed the video!
@@mbmars01 okay 👍, about UP they had C60AC and C60/44AC (first were 7500-7579 6000hp, and the second 7300-7335+7010-7079>7336-7405 and back to 7010-7079 always with V16 FDL 4400hp engines (like SD9043) and they are upgraded (retained original cabs) along with many C44ACs to M. Ex 7500 series is 6900 class now and I think EVOLUTION engines! Anyway, I wanted to point out that there are UP AC6000/4400CWs from the mid '90s and 4400 HP of, now M, but also classic AC4400CW Ms now ,not to be confusing about it when writing a model designation 👍👍👍🙋🏻♂️🙋🏻♂️🙋🏻♂️🙂
Actually, none of the AC60s ever had 6,000hp engines. They were promised by GE, but could never be successfully engineered. Eventually, these locomotives were later designated AC4460CW by GE, because they received a 4,400 hp engine, but were not to be confused with the AC4400CWs. UP has an own designation system, because many of their locomotives received special modifications not present in the "stock" variants. Therefore, for UP locos, I typically list both GE and UP designations. I'm not consistent in this, though; CSX and CN also have own systems, but in those cases I usually only use the more common GE designations. The designation schemes are often rather confusing, for which there are multiple historical reasons, but that's another story :)
I've been in Waycross multiple times, but I didn't find it easy to film trains there. The yard is off-limits to railfans. I prefer Folkston and Cordele, which see much of the Waycross traffic, too.
just a curious question or two maybe first when a train has multiple locomotives why is they are always positioned front to back also all locomotives I have seen have a 4 number display what do those number mean ?? is it a numerical way of defining the locomotives model or is it the just the rail company way of keeping track of the where a bouts of that locomotive
Ideally, the nose of the first loco points forward and that of the last backward, because when they run back on the next train the crew doesn't need to wye the engines (usually, railroads prefer to run their lead locos short-hood forward). The road number of a loco doesn't have always four digits, but almost all modern engines have four. The road number basically just serves as an identifier.

Hi, I have been watching your great videos a lot. I got tired of it for one reason. Putting the Ukrainian flag on your profile picture is pretty pathetic. If you're not Ukrainian, put your country's flag there or whatever.
Nothing is pathetic here. If you followed the communication with the Russian viewer here in this comments section, you would certainly agree that it is important to express support for our democratic values that allow us to enjoy a lot of freedom in our life. These values are currently defended in Ukraine. I'm sure you know what's currently going on in Europe. Btw, I am European and my birthplace is only about as distant from Kyiv as New York is from Atlanta.
Thanks airing The outstanding video with magnificent locomotives. Your endeavors are prominent. Bliss
Great you enjoyed it!

Love the K3HL on 7030. Nice catches too!
WOW! S871-02 was the first train ever that I actually recorded and chased. Glad I came upon this video!
Yeah, this was a good one!
First Coast Railroad boxcar at 10:45! Excellent video, and a crazy amount of yellow on our line recently
Very cool you identified that boxcar. I didn't notice it. Yeah, lots of yellow, but we don't complain :)
Great job MB, you know I love those SD70's no matter whose they are. Awesome catch and chase on the Military Train as well, I wish we had more of those come thru here. Keep up the great work.
Thanks, Scott. It was definitely nice to see some EMD power again. This second military train was awesome. I'm happy I got multiple shots of it.
Excellent video.
Thanks very much!

Good catch of CSX 8906, one of only 10 in the fleet.
Thanks! It would have been nice to see it leading, but I've seen it before.
Great stuff man, keep it up!!

I couldn't count the number of military vehicles! Just curious. As always great video!
It wasn’t a long train, but it’s rare seeing so many tanks on a single one. Thanks!
nice video
Thank ya!
So basically, S838 is a special type of intermodal train that carries explosives that would otherwise not be seen on regular intermodal traffic.
I have seen cuts with containers containing explosives on manifests, but it's unlikely to see them on regular intermodal trains, which on many lines have higher speed limits.
@@mbmars01 that would make sense as to why you wouldn’t see them on regular intermodal traffic. It’s not like it’s a priority intermodal like I032
I might add I saw CSX 7506 leading CM44AH ex 500 series looking brand new Yes ✓

That K3HL sounds good and fould and why did it have the doors open
Good question!
When the rear doors are open, it keeps the engine from overheating.
Oh
@@jasonsideburns1045 So it basically allows the engine to vent?
You should film in waycross
YES! The CSX yard is the gateway to Florida and the west. Definitely recommend it!
I've been in Waycross multiple times, but I didn't find it easy to film trains there. The yard is off-limits to railfans. I prefer Folkston and Cordele, which see much of the Waycross traffic, too.
Boa noite, parabéns pelo excelente trabalho,ferrovias,o melhor transporte para o progresso,valeu um grande abraço, sou de Santa Catarina Brasil.
Big hugs back to Santa Catarina. Makes me feel like I want to return to Brazil for another visit... Very cool you like the video.
I'd bet the ammo train precedes the arms train to the docks on their way to Poland to outfit the new American base...
The vehicle train went west. It was probably just one of the typical domestic moves of equipment.
Access doors open on the container train leading unit?
Probably for supplying additional air. It was a hot day.
Nice
Thanks!
why were the side doors open on the up 7030?

No worries, I'm still alive :) It's been quite busy lately, but I really should work on a new video soon.
