I wanted a diesel train set when I was a little boy, but my mom liked the coal fed engine of old, so I got the coal. It is an American Flyer. I still have my engine, coal tender, flat car, and caboose, and much more track, gathered by flea market search. And as real trains go, so does mine, NEEDING only TWO rails. I love sitting her in my recliner watching these great machines, no other country has, do their monstrous tasks! Yahoo! Great video, thanks 4 sharing.
Thanks for the wonderful video. I am from the east coast, so the beautiful landscape is so different. The snow just made everything look so calm and peaceful.
Beautiful Union Pacific trains on the UPRR Lordsburg Subdivision. There is nothing more peaceful than a few well oiled trains running the mains. That sub merges with the Gila Sub in Tuscon, then further west in Yuma, it begins the Yuma Sub until it meets with the Alhambra at the Colton Yard in Colton California.
Incredible. This is the video I was waiting for! I was down there the week before the storm, and when I heard how much snow they were expecting, I couldn't believe it! Great coverage, especially the Cienega Creek shots.
I'm in Cochise, just east of Dragoon pass. I look out my front window and watch these all day and night. That first westbound with the auto racks followed by COFC comes thru mid morning every day. Usually with an NS unit mixed in. Westbounds struggle up the grade to the summit at Dragoon, about 5 miles from here, but the Eastbounds are really moving, like at over 70 when they are on this side. I notice there has been a slowdown lately, maybe the COFC traffic is being hit by the China tariffs? They usually fleet these trains, like 3 or 4 in a row within about 20 minutes, then a lull of about a half hour, each way. You can hear them 10 miles away in this clear, desert mountain air of about 4500 elevation. Great video of that last snowstorm.
Awesome. You are a dedicated railfan and I appreciate that. Love the cactus with snow @45:42 Cienega Creek shot! I live in Vegas and we got not one, but four snow storms. Gotta love it! Keep up the good work.
The 7 minute mark of your video brings back great memories from my teens and early 20's, I spent many a Saturday railfanning at Sibyl in the exact spot from you video. However, I never had the opportunity to do so with snow on the ground, the view across the San Pedro with a white blanket is breathtaking.
I see some very long trains on your videos here: at 27:11, the intermodal train is 154 cars and the one at 46:28 is 165 cars. I like seeing these long trains show up on the Sunset Route which previously had conservative lengths for many years.
@@R7300 That's great. It makes sense. Around 83% of the line is double-tracked. While the obvious western terminus is the Los Angeles, what is the normal eastern terminus: Chicago, Dallas, and/or Houston?
Great video, but you could use a better wind filter for your mic to make your vids EXCELLENT!! I'm an old desert rat from Az. now hunkered down against the real cold and snow in Minnesota (yes I lost my mind to move here) and I miss the Southwest beyond words!!!!
Ugh, between camera clicks in the background and noisy wind, kind of annoying. Nice compositions though. Most of these trains look so slow. BNSF trains seem to run faster on their LA-Chicago route.

It is amazing and mind boggling to watch the trains with so many carts snake their way gliding on the narrow snowy tracks. Incredible!

Great series - snow covered cactus is also my favorite. Thanks for braving the cold and sharing your great shots

Love these videos! Great work👍🏾
Amazing video. Looks absolutely freezing. Well worth turning out though for the fantastic shots. Thank you. Mick.🇬🇧
A great video! Love the snow!
Super video my friend! Thank for sharing!
เป็นหล้กเกณท์ของชุมชนคนท้องถี้น(คนศรีสะเกษ)"...โอเคหรือไม่...
I love trains under the snow/blizzard ♥ Great job as always!
Greetings from Mexico!!
Wow, amazing scenes. Cienega creek look totally different
So many meets!! Great Video!

ABALLAM3 we are running several 10-13k foot trains now on the sunset

Grandiose Aufnahmen Danke für die schöne bilder. Einfach genial. 🤗.Wie heissen die hohen Waggons!
Wow super shot. it's beautiful. Awesome video.👍😊
Great job! It's worderful to see those monsters winding down the tracks!
I noticed UP uses a lot of EMD Power. Not like CSX with their GE fleet. Great video. Some really nice catches.
At 7:00 searchlights that date from Southern Pacific days! How exciting is that?
Excellent video and catches!
Outstanding video. Simply marvelous!
Great shots my friend, beautiful places. Nice foreign power to!
Great video, but you could use a better wind filter for your mic to make your vids EXCELLENT!! I'm an old desert rat from Az. now hunkered down against the real cold and snow in Minnesota (yes I lost my mind to move here) and I miss the Southwest beyond words!!!!
Great video, well shot
Man, that Power units must have Millions of horsepowers! So amazing!
approx.16k ponies.
Not sure but that looked like a MP15 or SW1500 on the one train in the 3rd position.
Exccellent viewing Sir. Really eenjoyed it
Some great video there. Nice framing & looks good! Well done.
Oh. I wish you had the whole video of the last train (the eastbound) as it looks liked it was potentially very long, since it was a 2x2x1 setup.
This the same line the sunset limited run on?
Lots of wind. Must have been miserable except for the trains.
¿Por qué ya los trenes no usan caboos?
great vid...sounds like they know ya...cant wait to move to AZ in May...yaaaay!
I really enjoyed your video I wish you success my friend God bless you.
Thank U.., to this amazing video
2 questions 1 The engines are they heated and air conditioning 2 On double stacked trailers how does the top trailer stay on ?
Excelente video, como é lindo ver esses trens... obrigada
Another awesome video. Isnt strange to see all the borrowed power when UP has so many locos. parked not too far from here?
I don’t know for sure, but that stored power may not be EPA compliant. Railroads may be limited in the number of non-tier 4 units they can operate.
So good
Great video as usual.
They look like refrigerated cars (41:46). You must have froze something while you were up there keeping the snow off your equipment. Thanks!
This is in southern AZ?? Did Al Gore see this?? Anyway, I love the trains. Thanks for posting.
Two shorts blasts is kinda like “hello” right?
'
engine trains are so beautifully vehicles on the railtracks
You call that a snow storm. Come to New Hampshire.
Excelente video!!
Hardly any snow on the ground, you make it sound like the tracks are covered.
They were but it's back in the 80s now
I Tucson in Northern AZ. ?
No Tuscon is in Southeastern Arizona.
thanks
Well Done!!!

First comment! Great video!
Cool video
No global warming here then.
Looking like a serious case of global warming.
Bunches of mpty containers @ tully.
Nice, but you need to get a mirrorless camera - those shutter sounds are annoying
More chatter than the pressure-relief valve on a locomotive!
camera freaks
Ah yes, Global warming...
