I totally agree, the history and interesting facts, basically the whole narration, really adds to the video and makes it so much more interesting to watch.
2:14:37 That CN DPU with the red light is actually a Classification Light (red for rear of train, white for running Extra, Green for second section)--a tradition still observed in Canada. Red marker lights are required at end of all trains, whether they be as with this CN unit or as part of the FRED--even a red flag will do. BTW--DPUs (distributed power units) are not strictly "remote control" except when starting, slowing down and stopping. Most of the time they push based on coupler force sensors, so they are 'semi-automatic.'
Great stuff, as always. I live in Rock Springs and work at one of the trona mines outside of Green River. I’ve only lived here about 8 months, but still I would have never known about some of the historical landmarks and some of the history behind them without watching this film. I’ll certainly be checking them out once the better weather returns. The amount of research you put into your productions is greatly appreciated.
Another OUTSTANDING video, Aaron! Appreciate the local history tidbits, too. As mentioned, the somewhat stark landscape has a charm and beauty all its own.
Just like in Wyoming there is a small town in Alberta Canada called Hanna (Pop 2500) interesting fact Canadian rock band nickleback is from the town of Hanna Alberta and just like this area in Wyoming the area around the town of Hanna Alberta was also a coal mining town
This week we will start where we left off in Echo Pass and head to where we ended in Sherman Hill. This week it is the Rawlins Sub the middle portion of the Transcontinental Railroad. All trips on the Rawlins Sub have to begin somewhere and that somewhere is here 4:16 Green River Yard in Rock Springs. The Rawlins Sub crosses the Badlands before it reaches the Continental Divide. Because of the grade the Transcontinental Railroad has to cross the Divide four times three times at Rawlins and once at Sherman Hill. These rails go through all the major highlights of the Land of Big Boy Point of Rocks home of the Jim Bridge Powerplant, Black Butte Mine which the powerplant is on top of, Hanna, Sweetwater, Wamsutter, Creston, Rawlins, The refineries of Sinclair, Medicine Bow, Wilcox where Butch Cassidy blew up a train, the bridge at Rock River where the said incident happened, and finally Laramie Yard at the base of Sherman Hill.
This was a great video and it reminded me of my time working at Jim Bridger Plant. Those black & silver coal cars coming out of Black Butte mine were a project I was involved with while at the plant. The "JBPX" carino translates to Jim Bridger Plant and I really enjoyed managing the contracts for the deployment of those cars to and from the Powder River Basin and the cooperative agreements with other power plants for coal transportation to the plants and from their respective mines. Thanks for a great video!
2 trains in 1 video with over 5+ containers with the famous "MOL"-crocodile. They will be painted into ONE pink or scrapped. And missed by me... Thanks for almost 2,5 hours of railfanning from the comfort of my own home!
Interesting/informative/entertaining. Excellent photography job/detailed maps. Enabling viewers to better understand what the orator is describing. I noticed a lot of graffiti on the box & tanker cars. Perhaps the artists will see 👀 their work on this presentation -???😲. Jimmy Rogers the " Singing Break Men . Was a genuine break men till changing careers to singing 😝🎸🎸🎶 1926 till 1933. Classic recording the " Break Man's Blues ". Viewing this presentation from the comfort zone of my computer room. Along the " Space Coast "🚀of Florida 🐊🐊. Wishing viewers/R.R. employees a safe/healthy/prosperous (2024)🌈🎉😉.
I thoroughly enjoyed this video having driven along US30 to follow the UP. It brought back many happy memories. Just one point. It would be nice to know when the videos were shot. Eg just month and year in the titles somewhere. Stunning photography.
Another great video - at 2:11:50 you filmed UP 8962 east climbing up Lower Pine Ridge, and there was a distinct wining coming from the engines. Do you know if that is the generators working hard, the fans working hard, something else? I assume it is the generators however I have never heard that before from a hard working engine - there may have been other noise covering it up.
I did not know UP calls the AC4400CW's - "C44-9AC." We've had both the AC4400CW and AC4400CW-CTE(builders plate ID)on run through grain/fertilizer trains which show C44AC or C44AC-CTE...
@@7ideaproductions we have the return of the Big Boy DVD, though I couldn't remember hearing it mentioned there. Anyways, I thought and expected it too.
Bid the clearing contract out asap and the shipping channel could be cleared in a short time. If the bureaucracy does its usual slow crawl, it could take forever.

38:00 I can practically smell the wet sagebrush!!
Nice to learn what z stands for and we're tied up came from for stopped or parked
I like train videos on TH-cam 👍

1:18:08 - 1:21:30 I hate to criticize, but in the red desert, you forgot to mention the Union Pacific Big Boy 4005 that derailed there in 1953!
That's a good historical tidbit. I thought it was mentioned there but maybe it was in my "Return of the Big Boy" program.
@@7ideaproductions we have the return of the Big Boy DVD, though I couldn't remember hearing it mentioned there. Anyways, I thought and expected it too.
How can you tell the defferent between the new AC power and the old dc ones.??????????????
Do u do any east coat trains like CSX and ns
Coast
The type of diesel they use on the trains is diesel one or diesel to and is it low sulfur.??????
I love it - a train gas station.

If your name is chris. What does RGB stand for.
Worst part of UP ever owned. My dad was an engineer from Rawlins to Green River back in the 80's
