Thanks this. Your historical information, the identification of engines etc AND your photgraphy including zooming out to maintain the full train as long as possible is really appreciated.
Back in March I traveled with my daughter and granddaughter to the Grand Canyon. Out route took us through Albuquerque and from there westward on IH 40 to Williams, AZ. We paralleled the BNSF transcon most of the way. I'd never seen such a densely traveled corridor in all my life - one train after another after another, with at least two three-way meets before the sun set on us. After the Grand Canyon adventure, we decided to visit Sedona which added a whole day delay to our return trip, so we had to stay overnight in Flagstaff. I secretly managed to ferret out a hotel directly across from the Seligman Sub double main on the east side of town. Unfortunately, my daughter beat me to the office and we ended up with a room not facing the tracks, but we could hear them ... one after another. What was cool was I pulled up the Virtual Railfan channel for Flagstaff, and amazed my granddaughter by being able to predict when an eastbound would roll by the hotel (after seeing it on the passenger station camera two miles to our west). Similarly, we'd hear westbounds go by and then watch them show up on camera two minutes later.
Love the cat at 3:05...someone knew that there were people there watching the trains, and that someone ALSO knew that with people...there are snacks!!!!
@@lydiaanderson4247 More often here? I'm okay with that. My email address is antonbrucesr@yahoo.com if you want to chat away from TH-cam. So...how was your weekend so dull? How do you manage that???? Between shooting my cooking TH-cam videos (Dinner From The Dining Car), some housecleaning and laundry...even my weekends get a bit busy!!!
My appreciation for all the DelayInBlock people JC and photraghpers making this, Id say a masterpeice on the subject of a penny on the high Iron. I thoroughlly enjoyed your professioal skills make this and a cup of coffey top of the heap as Frank Sonatra sang. Thank you D&B!
One another amazing trainvideo from you. Its nearly possible to understand that they where abel to built railroad tracks in that wild and sometimes impossible terrain. Like arizona. Thank you from Sweden.
Awesome video! I use to work for Phelps Dodge High Performance Conductors in South Carolina and they gave us these books that was about 2 inches thick. The book talked about the history of copper mining. There was some great photos of the Morenci mine In that book.
I love your films,they are a fascinating insight into US railroading. As a Brit (Limey lol) the way Americans transport freight is amazing,from short lines to class one railroads it is great to watch. Keep up the good work.
I use to work at the ASARCO Mission Mine and many times I would go up to Ray Mine and see the CBRY running, my father also met Jake Jacobson and he is a very nice guy, gave him a tour of the shops.
Seeing all these pictures of that you show on here, makes me want to cry . I am a travel photographer and i would love to be able to go see these places. I had to stop my photography for a little while but i hope to be able to start it back in a couple of years.
Very, very nice video about the great western rr. I'm from the Belo Horizonte, Brazil and you catch very well those BNSF trains in Winslow. And the UP's SD40-2 in Moapa branch. So great your shots! Continue to Record trains more in the great West.
Always interesting to see these documentaries about smaller railroads. Accidentally unsubbed earlier, but have resubbed a minute or two ago. Keep 'em comin'. Great stuff!
Your. productions are the best.!, It takes a lot of skill. from a engineer to be on the. grades you are showinLast year visiting in-laws going up to the white mountains in Arizona drove thru a copper mining town. seeing. a lot large. copper. finish ignots Any way keep. the great work
I can remember me an my wife were driving up to see inlaws in the White mountains. We passed thru a town that was mining copper. I can remember seeing a huge peice on semi trailer being moved it was incredible to see!
In the white KCCX tank cars, Sulfuric Acid. The question now becomes, how is it used and where, and why not some other stuff? For which I have no answers.
I would think only locomotives that were cream of the crop",would be selected to be used to move the grades and weight id Imagine were quite the task for any engineer!!

So much of a history lesson, flat out some of the best of a short film documentary and some awesome videos, beautiful scenery

The sound of all that jointed rail is great. Pretty unique seeing these operations out west being from PA.

The cat is a railbuff.
I know you had to go through a lot to make this video Drayton and I just wanted to say the effort more then shows. An amazing video as always

Something about those maroon colored BNSF grain cars. They look so clean.
Your videos are always on point. Fantastic!

Those G & W "Reese's Cups" scheme really stands out. Nice looking scheme.
Now that's what you call Wild West Railroading.
Wonderfully interesting and excellent quality video thank you so much for taking the time to make this and capture this piece of history.
I love your films,they are a fascinating insight into US railroading. As a Brit (Limey lol) the way Americans transport freight is amazing,from short lines to class one railroads it is great to watch. Keep up the good work.
There is a George Jones song called "Open Pit Mine" about the copper mines between Clifton and Morenci Arizona.
Wow! I listened to it for the first time today. Cool song.
This is by far the best railroad TH-cam channel I have watched. fantastic video.
Thank you so much. That means a lot to me.

Great as usual! thanks!
Great video Drayton!
Buenisimos tus videos,con historia y buen profesionalismo ...un like y suscrito ....Gracias por tu esfuerzo ..te lo dice un fanatico de los trenes ..
Great video, thanks.

Nice sharing 👍

Today, I bet you can see, and maybe even use, that railroad that was under Lake Mead.
I delivered a few loads of molybdenum to the freeport mine i was wondering why that name sounded so familiar
I can remember me an my wife were driving up to see inlaws in the White mountains. We passed thru a town that was mining copper.
I can remember seeing a huge peice on semi trailer being moved it was incredible to see!
Channel Subscribed 👌👌👌
Shame the mine tracks aren’t still electrified on that first railroad; electrics make great locos for tackling steep grades.
Nice video; however, the Bingham County mine in Utah is actually the world’s largest open-pit mine
Great shots of these railroads. The sound seems a bit "off". Any reason for this?
A 5% grade is wicked.

hello how are you doing
I did some spellings wrong,hope you understand me.
Well, I guess I`ll proceed to play Transport Fever 2 again.
What's in those rail tankers?
In the white KCCX tank cars, Sulfuric Acid.
The question now becomes, how is it used and where, and why not some other stuff? For which I have no answers.
@@thomasboese3793for smelting
Aware. Rest in peace brotha.
Where is that? They have cheap gas! 😁🌵
So dry that people "cool" their homes with swamp coolers.
I seen az eastern railroad
gas there has risen I assume
Sure Power Desert Engines.
I would think only locomotives that were cream of the crop",would be selected to be used to move the grades and weight id Imagine were quite the task for any engineer!!
$1.93 gas in 2020? What happened, Joe?
This video was actually recorded in 2016. But still, you’re not wrong.
Covid happened..and idk what else.. I wish gas prices were that low again
