4K - Union Pacific Freight Train Operations at the West Colton Yard
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 มิ.ย. 2018
- Last month, I spent a good part of one morning at the Pepper Ave. overpass in Bloomington, California. This lightly used road passes over one of the busiest train action places in all of Southern California, being the East end of the Union Pacific West Colton yard. It's a rather busy place... everything from yard switching trim jobs, power being switched onto outbound manifests, and thru trains passing on the mainline!
The up close vantage point from above makes it a really unique place to relax and watch the bustling action going on below, with nobody bothering you about trespassing!
Thanks for watching!

Nice! No stupid music, no voices, just that wonderful sound of large diesel engines!
Love seeing trains at work. When I was eight years old I was standing much too close to a passing train. The neighbor lady (in her seventies) came out of her house and screamed at me 'what are you doing? Get the hell away from there.' Now I know why!! But she made me cry. If Mrs Montfort was alive today I'd give her a hug....
As a retired Up engineer watching these videos helps me to cope with my loss of income seeing my 41.7year friends and my love of trains I took down my massive ho scale up/bnsf/ns layout to give the space to a family member I miss my job,retirement $ is hard to live off of,keep putting out the fine work that yall do it's a great help to us that need it
Hope you are ok Reginald
What happened Reg? Bad ordered?
That's sad!!!! I drive for hallcon and I have much respect for the train conductor and engineers I transport
I hope you don't miss the company more than the co workers.
If you save 5% from your payment every month. At the end, you'll retired as a rich man. But,
Trains, trains everywhere a train, why one can truly lose his train of thought by watching so many trains at once lol.
I love trains I could watch them all day long
Jet fighters and locomotives, two of the greatest inventions!
My Brother James worked SP LA and UP Colton Ca. Trains is all he talked about. I miss my Brother James..R.I.P❤
Awes me. The amount of power in motion. Always had a fascination with train power.
I worked out of this yard many years. Brings back good memory’s. ..lots of good men.
I’m grateful to have had the experience of being a part of “ building America”
I lived fairly close to that yard. UP trains are my faves!
I love train also Michael , ( since I was 6 yrs old ) !
👍
Awesome trains. Thanks for being here. You just don't see them like this on the east coast
I lived uphill from a rail yard. I used to love the distant creaking sounds of the freight trains coupling and uncoupling at night especially when it was raining. Very relaxing sleep
Fran I get that! I grew up on Air Force bases and the sound of jet noise to me is a lullaby. The louder the better.
I'll bet. I could go to sleep comfortably listening to that. Cheers digger. 🇦🇺🚝👍
These huge features are just amazing. We can only dream of something like this in Germany. Really nice to look at.
Greetings from North Rhine-Westphalia in Germany.
If y'all could come up with something like this..it would be perfect to the mm!!
German engineering is is quite an art of perfection.
@@patrickmollohan3082I'd like to disagree on that, American engineering is better, think about it, who made the atom bomb: USA who made the biggest locomotive: USA etc
@@KingOp0ssum_III’d like to disagree with you. your argument cannot be made when it comes to comparing a ford to a Volkswagen.
I worked there in '73 when it was SP. It was state of the art then.
Perfect footage ! And what a souvenir !! In 2012 we visited the Southwestern US from Belgium. Thanks to Google Earth I discovered that very spot on the bridge of Pepper Avenue !
An impressive and busy beehive, this huge Colton Yard ! Much obliged for the memories.
Colton ca. Best hot spot on the west coast...trains from here goes all over the U.S.A...😜miss you SP...born in my home town...
Yard work is so fascinating to watch...and avoid!
Thanks for that.... Loved the whole thing...
Great work! Rewatched already lol 😅
LOOKS LIKE MY LAYOUT ROOM NORFOLK SOUTHERN RULES MY RAILS. THANKS FOR SHARING THIS WITH YOUR SUBSCRIBERS 👍👍👍👍👍💢☝
I have never seen so many trains. Cool as to how they switch tracks to hook up with certain lines of cars. I swear that one train was at least over a mile long.
Most long-distance US freight trains are significantly over a mile. Anything up to about 2.5 miles is pretty common, and most are well over 1.5 miles.
Modern HO looks so realistic
parece inflexibles estos tren s
I just love how the train companies work together on hauling freight. Respect!

Nothing beats the sound of an SD70ACe.
It looks like that's an extremely busy yard! Thanks for the great videos.
Great video. So good to see so much rail traffic moving!
Watching videos like this honestly makes me want to join the railroad.
Marktheartest if you’re single and don’t mind basically being “owned” by UP, go for it. The pay and training(no pun intended) is great. If you have a family and/or a life I wouldn’t recommend it.
That is some very sweet video. I am amazed how "lightly" those locomotives seem to glide over the tracks.
Very good sequence of movements of locomotives, wagons ... trains in general..
Cheers from Brazil..
Looks like a fantastic place to be, especially for a UP fan. Great video!
We have watched this video several times. Great video. Thank you.
Thanks airing the outstanding vid.Bliss
Love the SD70AH catch!!!
the best I have seen on this yard. great action and the yard is well illustrated.
Amazing footage I really love it
Awesome video, would love to go here one day to watch trains.
This life is not endless. Great video.
This is one of my all-time favorite railroad videos. Thanks for your great work!
I like watching these on playback speed x2, reminds me of model trains in a way lol
That was splendid, great video, I can watch this and NEVER get bored, you sure know how to get my attention, now that's what I call a BIGG yard with LOTS OF TRAINS COMN & GOING FROM BOTH DIRECTIONS. Great job 👍👍 👍 Merry Christmas🎄🎄🎄 Let's see more!!!
Absolutely brilliant- love it
Jolie vidéo avec de tout dans tous les sens. Merci de nous l'avoir transmise. Amicalement.
I love it when the videos are of only locomotives
THANKS FOR SHARING THAT AWESOME VIDEO.
BEAUTIFUL.
Great vantage point. I've been looking for a good spot to film UP Hinkle yard in Oregon.
Hi Michael! Just subscribed to your channel. Fantastic videos! I'm in Australia and watching these 4K videos is great entertainment. I just had a new computer built with a 4K video card and a 4K monitor, so for me it's almost like being there!
Thanks for sharing!
Stew.
I could watch these all day long...Awesome job on filming...
Thanks for posting this! I'm going to have to go check this spot out!
I love trains!!!!
Wonderful footage from a great location. Plenty busy. Greetings from the Train Lord in South Australia
Keep doing the 4k videos!!! Looks awesome!!!
Brilliantly captured...
Fantastic!, nicely done.
Thanks. I prefer watching yard ops vs a long line of cars going by.
Mesmerising & Fascinating at the same time. One very busy yard. Quality video.
If it were not for the backdrop scenery (mountains) & highway traffic, you could almost imagine this being a model layout.
I'm a train and I approve this video choo choo :D
Lots of action. Thanks.
(Surabaya-INDONESIA) Thank you so much for Michael and thank's for sharing this Awesome video High Locomotives Operations 👈👈👍👍😁😃💜🚘🚌
Great video, good job, thanks. I've already read about the West Colton Yard - very interesting. Best regards from Germany. :-)
Fantastic footage!
É trem que não acaba mais! Ferrovia nota 10:)
Excellent quality
Thanks for posting
Excellent video. Lots and lots of engines. Thanks for sharing. I subscribed. I might mention too about your great photography and editing.

Very nice video and excellent horn.
A friend from Tunisia.

Thanks for sharing this cool video. I also love to trainspot in Colton Yard
Eugen Hänseler is there alot of police or security
@@hellaballin YES !
what a fun place i'd be in my element here so many trains
Really great action! Nice to get some horn shows too! New subscriber!
Lots and lots of trains. Probably one of the busiest yards in the country. Really enjoyed it. Cool video. 👍👍👍❤️ Decided to subscribe. Thanks
When I'm stuck at a crossing gate in my auto by a long train, I like to watch the art painted on the side of the railcars pass by. It makes my wait as a motorist less painful.
It's vandalism though, that's a felony.
Auf gut Deutsch gesagt: Das Horn scheint das wichtigste an der Lok zu sein! ;-)
I'll have to check out that location the next time I'm in CA. A lot of great action there, really nice video editing!
That is a nice location to shoot from. Reminds me of the pedestrian bridge over the yard in Springfield MO.
7:15 All I can think of: The competition rolls through to "check on" their greatest rival. 😂
All I can think of is why do taggers get to disrespect property not belonging to them?
Excellent video !!!!
Fantastic shots!
Great Job😊
Just subed so nice to see my local yard in action.
Charles Loenker You work for UP?
RailRoamer no I use to work nearby
LOVE THIS VIDEO THANKS ENJOYED WATCHING ALL THE ACTION. HERE IN MAINE THE PAPER MILLS ARE CLOSING NOT MUCH ACTION WHERE I LIVE. I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME
Joe Leveille live in maine as well, about the only rail action we see here now is Amtrak
I have plenty of action near where I am now but it's mostly and increasingly electric mutliple units.... sighs.
I guess by 2035 only freight trains will use locomotives. And electric or hydrogen ones, that is. Passenger trains will be EMUs or hydrogen multiple units by then. No more Diesel.
Great quality and excellent camera work
Wow, that is a busy yard...
Great video keep them coming
Very fine one, with good music to boot. Only a drone can capture the vastness of Englewood.
This is one busy place, loved it Michael & Just Subscribed 👍😎
Great spot. Thank you
Wow! This was one of the most loco action packed videos I've ever seen. Thanks for posting it.
This video had the coolest consist of locomotives I’ve ever seen each train was staked massive power n length
Very good work!
My brother retired UP Engineer Doc Bowker (2015 retired) spent a major part of his life in this yard.
This is one seriously awesome video dude,so many locomotives in 1 place,absolute heaven.Thumbs up from New Zealand.
Amazing rail movie! Awesome images with trains and locomotives in action! Good work, Michaell! Thumbs Up & Subscribe! ;-)
Greetings from Romania

Excellent video! I wonder what the average daily dollar amount is on the goods that roll through just this yard. The sheer volume of goods moved is awesome.
lovely vid thankyou
