Thanks my friend TH-cam scratched this cool stack and Z train video out for me. I see the train in the pit lane got a gap to proceed before the last Stack train came past!!
You['re welcome WILLY. I'm glad you enjoyed this video. This is one of my many favorite spots. It's fairly remote but offers lots of fast running and the occasional meet to boot. Thanks for watching my friend.
Thanks Darryl. Actually you aren't far off. BNSF has throttle restrictions on their trains, heading up the grade to the tunnel, with the exceptions of the Q and Z trains.
The one thing I'm curious about is the 1st train veered left to take that 2nd spur off the main line but how is the switch changed? And great videos PNWR!
Handled remotely by the Dispatcher. See this link for a description of various systems: www.progressiverailroading.com/c_s/article/Product-update-Dispatching-technology--53873. Scroll to the bottom of the article to see info specific to BNSF. It appears to have taken the siding to make way for the second, a high priority train.
Thanks richard. Well, first off, it's a siding, a spur would be for something such as an industrial area or a small dead end track to store railcars or equipment. A siding has two or more switches allowing the train to exit and re-enter the mainline. The switches are controlled electrically by the dispatcher, there is a big electric motor that throws the switch points. Thanks for watching.
I've noticed trains will go as far as possible down a siding just in case there is a problem with the switch. Therefore, if the second train also gets directed onto the siding, it will have enough time to stop before hitting the waiting train.
@@PacificNWRailfan I would hope not, but if the switch was faulty or the Dispatcher forgot and it wouldn't go back to it's original position ... or are there preventive measures in place for that?
Thanks Dave. Actually, if they keep this combination at the destination (Chicago) and reload it for the coast then it would be two up front with one DPU. Something I've seen BNSF do quite a bit. Thanks for watching.
I do like the different places you set up your camera.thanks
Thank you Philip, I appreciate it and thanks for watching.

Nice! They told the first train to get in the hole because they said you only have it in notch 5!! Cool video buddy!

@@PacificNWRailfan I figured it was something like that. Thanks for the info.

Yea, that was cool, but it's an SD75i
Facing out?
Do you mean long hood forward?
I mean since it was @ the back, the front part was facing out
Nice video!

@@IQ_155 They never run a train down a siding already occupied by another train.

Nice work, kind of odd for that third stacker to have one unit up front and two DPUs in the rear.
