What stands out when watching trains in US, on TH-cam, is their unbelievable length. This one must be close on to a mile long. Imagine being late for work because you was stuck at a crossing, waiting for this to pass.
When visiting my daughter in Calgary, Alberta I got caught by something similar at the crossing going into Banff but that was was travelling a lot slower. Should have taken a picnic!!
Extraordinary Hilary 😮 I think my arms might have dropped off holding a phone up for that length of time! Cheers, Brian
I’m expecting you to model it now, Brian! 😉

It would certainly be very frustrating.
Wow a long train Hilary, nice catch :)
Thanks Simon. I’ve never seen anything like it before! 😊 Hilary
Wow, that is amazing.
It was a rather splendid sight! 😊

Goodness me, amazing to see. Thanks for this.
It felt a lot longer than 7 minutes trying to hold
my phone steady! 😊Hilary
I'll bet. Well done.
Magnificent Hillary
Thank you. I’ve always wanted to see one of these.
@@hilsthetrainlady4683 yeah
A Spongebob! (No. 2035, a GP38-3 rebuild, known as Spongebobs on account of the square cab)
Aren’t they quite old?
@@hilsthetrainlady4683 Built in the 70s, modernised more recently
Bloody hell. Seen some long ones. That's taking the p.. S.
It was rather impressive! 😊
Good work Hilary but America will never come close to our ore trains in the Pilbara !
Goodness, they must be extraordinary then. 😊 Hilary
@@hilsthetrainlady4683 Yes , 8 KMs long and a gross weight between 90, 000 and 100,000 Tonnes !
@@dannygayler3164 wow!
@@hilsthetrainlady4683 Yes the longest and heaviest trains in the world
That's a long way to go to film a train Hilary
Coincidentally, the line and station were just outside our hotel 😁
I've always wanted to see a long American freight train, must be awesome.
