@@BPJJohn Hi John, I wouldn't think they would be made of wood, but I don't know for sure. The wood on the ends is probably just for bracing during shipping.
@@BPJJohn afaik the wood is there to give a structure for the foil to lay on, so if the wagon would be driving the other way the foil isnt force inwards until it rips, which may have happen here.
14:45 Engineer 1: What job did you get assigned? I got stuck on the yard job. Engineer 2: Oh, I'm just moving a quarter billion dollars worth of engines.
20:53 I wonder, do boat builders use "bow thrusters" in the new construction of old-style riverboats? Or is it a "true" 1850s experience? 29:18 Personally I'd call that the second-best seat in the house. In my world of travel, the best seat in the house is a view forward from the front-left seat of the old MILW Super-Dome. However, admittedly, I'm very biased toward hometown railroads.
Yeah, it's really bad across much of southern British Columbia. Sad that there are so many wildfires burning across Western Canada, thanks to the heat and the lack of rain.
I love your videos and videos love you love love you and your videos love you love love you and your videos love you love love you and your videos love you love love you
So. Here's a few questions from the clueless. The engine from Canada in New Mexico. Is the engineer from Canada? Engineer a staff member with BNSF? Why is a Canadian Pacific engine all the way down in New Mexico? Kind of a distance from home you'd think. Interesting to see a NS with UP or CSX with BNSF etc. How does that work? Has anyone see a BNSF or UP engine etc. in Canada?
US locos appear in Canada all the time, easy to find with a Google search. Can be leased because one railroad has a temporary shortage, another railroad has a temporary surplus. Or horsepower balancing for trains that run through 2 or more railroads without engine changes.
Well after seeing the 28 locos in a single power train move eastbound on the BNSF in Illinois in this same excellent video, I’d guess the CP unit was a random pool loco that went astray in a terminal where that loco was the only option to put enough HP on a train. Many times decisions for power are made in FW, TX. Then they record the miles/hours run and accumulate that against BNSF power used on the CP (or what ever road) so it compares to a lend lease agreements between most RRs in N. America including NdeM in Mexico. It makes the entire rail system more fluid. Let’s take a guess that westbound train came out of Chicago with the CP leading. The CP unit could have been trailing on an inbound train to a interchange IMF yard SW of Joliet, IL called LPC Chicago. I last worked there in 2005. Power was very random. The goal was to move those double stack trains as efficiently as possible. At the same time Chicago area BNSF is way short of power. So use what you have and pay CP later w/BNSF power or Canadian $$$$. Now your ? about Canadian engineer running thru Belen, NM: not likely! Most North American rail lines require training and student trips, plus unions have established districts and divisions based on their RR crew change terminals. Been that way for over 100 years on most RRs. Also most loco controls have been standardized so any well trained engineer can recognize them even if labeled in French, Spanish or Canadian🤪.
Just think what Africa could do with those 28 locos or there engines and generators? Once worked on a steel mill modification in Nigeria run by a US locomotive engine and generator set. Did the Duke brothers escape?
Rail road companies make money and put certain locos on loan if that railroad is short on locos so if up needed 5 engines they would ask cp if they had 5 to loan them
Nice selection, Found the audio on this not very good though or is it just me? Also just out of curiosity where were these 28 BNSF locos going and was was going to happen to them ? Was it just a transfer move? Great vids.
I have a feeling that chase didn't last much longer. If you watch close, you can see the car leaving a snail trail after the crossing. Probably took out their oil pan or transmission. 😂
Am I the only one who enjoys the irony of the SD70ACe leading the line GE C44-9Ws off of the BNSF? Somewhere a SD40-2 is smiling.
Perfect symbolism!
One of them was a GEVO tho
It certainly reinforces the fact that all ACEs are good for are transfer runs.
@@douglasskaalrud6865 indeed
I love power moves like that.
What a great 29 minutes and 29 seconds, thanks VR
12:35 that's one happy kid!
I enjoy watching these grab bags.
YOU WRECKED OUR COUNT OF THE NUMBER OF ENGINES GOING TO ILL! ON THE FIRST PASS!
Outstanding video a job well done I give the person A+ across-the-board job well done
The shot with 28 diesels was an excellent catch. Over 100,000 horsepower.
Nice to see a CP unit leading a BNSF train through Belen, NM.

are they made out of wood?
@@BPJJohn Hi John, I wouldn't think they would be made of wood, but I don't know for sure. The wood on the ends is probably just for bracing during shipping.
@@West_Coast_Trains Wonder and worry about the same thing. Hope it's just temporary use for shipping.

@@BPJJohn No way wood would pass the FRA and other standards - they appears to just be framing for where the cab car front end goes.

28:03 Wasn't that same engineer that yelled at us a few grab bags ago? I couldn't barely hear what he said.
The other guy sounded like Yosemite Sam. This guy's voice just has no character.
@@ikonseesmrno7300 but what did he say?
10:36 wow I really like. I saw a end of a Amtrak car :).
Ahh, a SP bloody nose Loco. Used to have loads of those out here in Southern California. Not any more.
Great to hear distant signal prosecutions voice
Kitty says, "You're not crossing my street pal! Go on.... GIT!". :v)
Awesome grab bag
It going to around San Francisco, CA I think for testing on main line, it should go first in service by either early 2022 mid 2022
Caltrain commuter rail that operates between San Jose and San Francisco

Great vídeo!
1:32 I know we’re supposed to pay attention to the Canadian pacific but anyone notice that the SD40-2 in the background has new traction motors?
Yeah I thought that was pretty weird
@@steelcityrailfan4808 exactly
@@steelcityrailfan4808 How so?

I wonder what the story is with that wood mock up of some sort of passenger car ?
I'm guessing that is just there to hold everything in place until they install glass in that area.

They lease power to other railroad companies. I've seen a couple FXE units all the way up in Pittsburgh.

Rail road companies make money and put certain locos on loan if that railroad is short on locos so if up needed 5 engines they would ask cp if they had 5 to loan them

“D” movements are hardly rare…especially on a division that’s hurting for power right now.

Except for the two out front, they’re all 4000 series engines. Off to the scrape yard.
