I love how you can hear the whine of the locomotives’ traction motors as they pass over the first few seconds. Sounds like quite a few locomotives on this one.
@lifewitchace2392 Nope. The limit is 75 mph, and all the locomotives have that standard limit (since the older SD40-2's to the newer SD70ACe's and ES44AC's). In fact, not all the tracks are made and designed to run 75 mph or you will be derailed.
@lifewitchace2392 no. No I wouldn’t. Absolutely NO freight train in the United States goes 100 mph. The max speed on most locomotives are 74 MPH, and speed limits don’t exceed 70. Passenger trains are different but I don’t work for amtrak so I couldn’t tell you. But I can tell you about freight.
Perfect example of Einstein's theory of relativity. The passengers on the train feel little movement, the cars at the railroad crossing wait impatiently for the "slow" train to pass, and to the camera on the tracks, it's going 300mph. It's really fascinating what perspective can do.
It’s got absolutely nothing to do Einstein theory of relativity, which explains the relation between space and time, warping of space, speed of light (constant) in a vacuum etc
That is sped up. Look at the clouds... These trains max is about 80. This was prob at 70. Edit: didn’t know that this was gonna blow up but it is quite funny watching the arguments in replies
@@tincupnickleboythe1st700 Privately owned railroad land is federal property? Is that why all the railroads have signs along all their tracks saying private property, no trespassing, and the like? Makes perfect sense.
@@Snowy-oq4ur yea there were once diesel mechanical locomotives which i believe actaully worked like a car with transmissions and gearboxes like the british rail class 01
And at the speed in which it passes the camera. Those freight locomotives are around 80-85 feet and it passed the camera in less than maybe half a second. So that train to do that would need to be going around 150-180mph to cover that distance in that time. Please note these are estimates since I can't watch shorts frame by frame
@@Klyftis well yeah European freight are far different and certainly lighter weight than American freights, but still impossible for American freights to do 100 MPH lol

brightline and its siemens chargers can also run up to 125, so i’d reccomend updating yourself on your train knowledge if you want to call yourself a train guy
@@tornadotackler it's still illegal to place or throw any small or large object on a railroad track. Small objects that are left on a railroad track can become a “projectile” as the train passes it.
“no GE junk locomotive can go that fast” Buddy P42DCs and P32AC-DMs hit 110 regularly in New York, and before the chargers took over P42s sustained 110 in Michigan.
It was so hard, holding my camera still while lying flat on their ground and I can tell you it was moving above 100 miles an hour I could feel the breeze
100 percent false. Freights aren't allowed to travel those speeds. 60mph max in North America. Oh and don't caught doing that you will be charged by the railway. They are seriously clamping down on the trespassing with all the fatalities around the tracks. As a railroader involved in a few fatalities in a passenger train please be careful around the tracks. It isn't a nice scene when a human gets hit by a train.
My father was a conductor for Seaboard Coastline in the 70's out of JAX. He always said that on late night runs through the Georgia swamps, they'd operate at max throttle, which he claimed would reach 110. Trains didn't require a governor until the 1987 Maryland crash. They had an overspeed light and buzzer, often disabled, and in fact disabled in the 1987 crash The official limit was 49 since 1951, and raised to 79 later on high speed corridors. But, prior to 1987, the only physical limit was the locomotive's power. Since 1987, the locomotive will limit power and apply brakes ro stay under 79.

Max speed of a GE freight loco is 70 MPH, 65 for older ones.
Max speed set by the manufacturer on virtually all GE AC locomotives is 75 MPH. Been like that for decades. For EMD it’s almost always 70 MPH.
Seen them at 73 in both IL and NM and confirmed with pacing.

I am a train person and the only train in the USA which goes + 100 mph is the 'accela express'...
And the TGV which routinely goes 200 MPH although could do 360 MPH
P42DCs go 110 MPH
And the ACS-64 is built for 135 and runs routinely at 125 on the northeast corrridor route as the northeast regional
brightline and its siemens chargers can also run up to 125, so i’d reccomend updating yourself on your train knowledge if you want to call yourself a train guy
