Excellent video. Love watching trains going High-Ball as the old saying goes. Very interesting watching them move that satellite communication dish. I've never seen that before. Cool.
Stack trains aren't that heavy. The real issue with them is rolling resistance because of their length and the surface area of all those containers turns the train into a 2-mile long drogue chute on a windy day.
I look at these trains with a different perspective. I use to work at an intermodal yard. I wonder how many of these cars I had to climb on, sometimes 4 times a night for each car. (1 unlock the top container, 2 pull the pins from the bottom container, 3 put the pins in the new bottom container, 4 lock the top container). Or how many times I had to hop in the well to shovel the snow out. If the snow wasn’t shoveled out, that 2” would trip the high detectors. And the crew would have to back the whole train up, take out both containers, shovel, reload and try again. This happened to day shift(12 guys). We on night shift never had to do it or ever had a late train.(5guys, old timers-ages 38 to 54). Trains would be 2-2 1/2 miles long. We’d get 2-2 1/2 trains done in a 9 hour shift. Day shift could barely do one!
When you need to move a whole cargo ship of containers at once, you slap a DPU somewhere in the middle of the train so it can be extended another 3 miles...no?
Am from India, These freights are different than any other countries, Why America doesn't have Electric freight trains.... In India we have Double stacked electric freight trains..... Sorry if I am comparing.....😊
Because the land area of the United States is very large, building electric railroads costs a lot of money and takes more than 15 years to build. The cost of diesel fuel there is very affordable.
Stupid question...there's 6 locomotives right. That means there's 6 different drivers in each one, controlling them (as a speed) in the same time? How does it work though? Do they calibrate the speed or acceleration ?
Idk if anyone catches the long view when the trains are down the line and it hits a low spot and the cars pitch! It’s makes me nervous how much side-to-side movement occurs
Thanks for watching

What is that dish?
The creatively named, Very Large Array
I'm from the UK, but freight trains from the US look epic! I love the container configurations
How long are freight trains in the UK?
I wish you were in the us we have the gevos the aces dash 9s and more
@@Uintedairlines We've even got SD40-2s
They are
@@HSETM yeah, up-to/around 90 wagons, but they tend to travel quite a lot faster though (around 80-90mph on mainlines)
These locomotives are an engineering marvel. It's amazing how much tonnage 1 engine can pull, let alone 6.
And the fact that they can go up to such high speeds like 60 mph (which is mind blowing for the amount of weight they are carrying)
@@jayasmrmore3687some of the Intermodal trains go 75-80 mph which is insane
probably around 200000hp

There’s just something really cool about American freight trains
They're really epic, especially since how fast the locomotives are.
Hearing a GEVO speed past you at damn near top speed is the epic part
1:48 really astonishes me with how many cars there are on that train when its going that fast. makes British freight trains look tiny
Its amazing it all works as well as it does
Its gonna take him a year to come to full stop 😂
and a couple laps around the globe...😂
Yeap 💀
The sound of trains flying at speed is great!
agreed
I love that GE sound the locomotives have.
Same ❤ GE Sounds And Acceleration I Am FROM PAKISTAN WE ALSO Have GE Loco Model Name Es43Aci Same Sound Of That GE Loco I Love It ❤❤❤ Our Loco Name GEU-40 4563 HP !
@@HSETM And It Was Imported From US In 2017 GE Beast I Love Their Engine Sounds Pakistan Need More Of This Loco Most Powerful And Best ❤❤❤
These trains are soo big that it’s deceiving how fast they’re going from far away. You think it’s not moving fast and then it’s right there
I love the sound of those GE engines screaming by at full speed
Me Too I Am GE Fan Too From Pakistan We Also Hhave GE Imported From Us Model Name Es43Aci 4563 HP!
I Can't imagine the power of one of those engines. Amazing
@ 9:10 I didn't know what I was looking at until you got close. That is probably the craziest shit I've ever seen on rails. Amazing Catch.
First time Ive seen this.Where is this located.
California, of course.
You don't see that every day
theyre contacting the 👽 〰️ₕₑ ₕₑ ₕₑ
You'll never get tHaT under any underpass!!😬😘
Excellent video. Love watching trains going High-Ball as the old saying goes. Very interesting watching them move that satellite communication dish. I've never seen that before. Cool.
I believe it is for radio astronomy and not for communication.
@@omkarmujumdar5496 Cool either way.
These monsters aren't stopping for anything - hope everyone gets out of the way.
those trains are giant, wtf. But nice video
@@JamesU56 yeah def great to have ambulances on level crossings then
@CNGuy1987That very much depends on the subdivision if you’re talking the entire country
The longest trains usually in America are intermodal trains which are the trains with the double stack well cars carrying the containers
America and Australia, our trains get looooong.
Don’t forget Canada! Once saw a 240 car potash train with 4 locomotives
Very cool video. That antenna move was great. The planning and coordination that must take has to be an awesome thing.
Thanks for the great videos that you ve may god always bless you and your
It impresses me every time I watch one of thdse videos how the engines can move that weight

9:15 probably a once in a lifetime catch right there
The satellite thingy?
@@Edward19542 Yes, the satlelite, is on the tracks.
Cool, very fast UPs! They were really loaded!
Never ceases to amaze me the scale of American freight trains
I lost count on how many seconds I stayed without breathing! 😮
2:04 damn that auto rack be clean af
that 1st one had so many 😂
That first train was almost 200 cars
9:15 Whoa! That's a sight I don't see on UK motorways.
I lost count at 170... it has over 200 rail cars.
Very powerful videos
Excellent greetings from TrainSpotter TV India
I’m from UK and freight trains there look very different!
Cool clips, but the wind noise in the camera mic ruin it... 😮
That big telescope like thing shipping was cool
Where I live, they only have like between 20-70 cars on freight trains. This is insanity to me💀
Living here in the US, I've seen long ass freight trains. I live close to tracks and I've seen some long shit on them.
Never seen freight trains move so fast...esp near the civil areas...
Awesome Catches!
It looked like it was going slow, then it passed you
Awesome video. I love trains
Buena velocidad saludos desde Querétaro México 😮😮😮
9:36 took railfanning to the next level bro!
wow high speed train
Awesome💯👌
How much science does this factory achieve every second?
Great vid!!!!
ว้าว! เครื่องยนต์กำลังแรงมาก ลากขนาดนี้ แถมเร็วด้วย
Speed is Surely above 65mph
When you need to move a whole cargo ship of containers at once, you slap a DPU somewhere in the middle of the train so it can be extended another 3 miles...no?
You’re pretty much spot on
You might be cool but you'll never be a 'Satellite dish on a locomotive rolling down 2 sets of tracks' cool, which is very cool btw.
1st train had 198 cars 😑, seriously why.
Wow...pretty long...that first train!
First one was cooking.
If you have spent much time trying to push a car it gives you a greater respect of the power of these engines
2:22 DANG THAT FREIGHT HAD 100 CARGOS💀💀💀💀💀
I counted 203 total cars too
Trains 🚊 are amazing
Was that 1 (DPU) it went so fast I couldn't tell.
Very Nice 👍
Nice, are they moving that dish or tracking military satellites with it?
Spettacolo 💪😍😍😍😍
How fast was he going? Looked like the speedo train!
IMPRESIONANTES!!!
🎯💪👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Being on them when we are actually going 70mph is kinda scary sometimes
If anything goes wrong at that speed? CATASTROPHY . . .
great video, where was it filmed

That is a long ass train!

No. All locomotives are controlled by a single person in the leading unit.
But How ? 😮
He'll yeah those fast 🚆
How is possible to get 6 locomotive freight train in USA?
Absolutely insane, it doesn't seem technically possible right ha ha ha. 😊😊.
Entire consists? You could've done some editing. Otherwise, good stuff.
Chulada que velocidad
1st Train around 70 mph , it was actually speeding up
Dang, that first train had to be doing 70-75 mph easy
IIRC these are geared for 70.
Those railway tracks must take a beating and ware out quickly due to the scale of the US long length train wagons weight lol
Idk if anyone catches the long view when the trains are down the line and it hits a low spot and the cars pitch! It’s makes me nervous how much side-to-side movement occurs
Wish the camera was held steady.
there's probably around 200.000hp pulling these trains
Ive heard about satellite planes, but never a satellite railcar!
Not everyday you see a satellite dish on the move.
this is me playing train simulator 😂
Imagine the momentum
WOW! I REALLY ENJOYED THIS VIDEO!!!!!
Do the coaches kept on top of the train not fall....??
how fast was the first train going?
70 MPH !
The train speed is 1 container (40ft) /0,4 second = 108km/h
Itu di amerika kan, bukan 40 ft aja di amerika ada kontiner 53ft jadi jauh lebih berat dan panjang, bisa sampai 2-4 miles panjangnya
❤❤❤❤wow it's too long freight train
144 cars between front and middle, 54 after that.
What the
Tornado hunting vehicle?
Nice trains n expectacul are monster antenna
0:00 - 2:16 How fast was that UP intermodal/autorack train going?
About 70mph
Best Dpu up power
Bruh, how fast was the first one moving.
That Looks Like Arizona Robin Sellex
New Mexico
Wow :o
Where was this video filmed?
200 units 12.000 tons 5 engines 20.000 hp
How many cars that the train carrying??
WHEN THE CARS SOUND LIKE A FIGHTER JET ZOOMING BY YOU KNOW ITS GOING 50+ MPH LOVE IT💪🏾🫡🫡
Hi can you tell me how to buy one engine and what is the cost like BNSF ?
Enough horsepower available.
The Freight Trains they can go about 70 mph or 80 mph
70, I think. Freight Locomotives, IIRC are usually geared for 70.
@@HSETM ah I see
Two words WIND SOCK try one
with the mic location it is difficult on the Panasonic FZ-300 I just used the wind noise reduction setting.
