How many locomotives to push/ pull those cars in that length and terrain? Absolutely amazing! I see the fascination of railroading in both actual and model.
Magnífico vídeo e belo lugar! Um dia, pretendo conhecer Tehachapi para apreciar melhor a beleza deste lugar. Estou vendo hoje, 14/09/2023 aqui do Brasil. Acompanho desde 2009 outros vídeos de outros canais e todos foram feitos com muita competência. Parabéns ao Bob Murphy! Abraços fraternos do José.
Fantastic video! Tehachapi is truly an amazing piece of railroad. I’ve been there about a dozen times over the years and never tire watching trains negotiate it. This is probably one of the best videos showing the entire layout from Woodford up through Merced.
I thought that same thing, then I wonder if anyone did the math to find out how much space is needed for a N scale model. Maybe a Basketball court? HO maybe a Baseball diamond? O scale Football field? Just guessing the biggest problem IS $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$???
I´ve seen some places where railway try to climb up to some serious hight elevation on short distance by looping but this is the concept taken to highest possible level!
ICYWW, I counted 4 locos in total, and approx. 126 boxcars 🚂🚂🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃
Ist schon faszinierend wie lange so ein "Bandwurm" sein kann. Sind einmal in Kanada neben so einem Güterzug hergefahren, der war auch über 2 km lang.👍😁
Are there many loops on USA railways. They seem rare but essential to climb a grade. I drove the Corona Pass road in CO back 40 years ago, there is a big loop on that with a bridge above and tunnel below where they cross. It was Rollins Pass back when it was in service, shut down when the Moffat tunnel was completed.
What a fabulous video and what a ridiculous consist 😂 Do they not think of us modellers when putting these together? I would need half the UK to model that in N scale 😢
The train driver needed a system to allow them to inspect the rearmost wagons on their train. (It was originally built before closed circuit cameras and drones have effectively taken over that role)
Now this the kind of nice picture taking I like to see
I´m sure: This was the longest train in Notrh America. Wonderful. Thank you. Greetings from Germany

Absolutely incredible. When you see this train from so high up, you can really get a feel of just how powerful these locomotives are.

Great fun to watch trains travel on that track.
Great pictures, well captured! 👍👍👍
Thank you!
OMG. The Finest Loop video ever. Thanks.
Thanks!
Beautiful. I don’t know why but drone video of trains looks like N scale to me.

what a wonderful video, congratiúlations! makes me even happier to see the spots i used to observe trains (not birds' view), just watching
That is absolutely insane! The drone simply could not keep the whole length of the train inside the shot.
Very Nice video , in leisure we can enjoy this .

switzerland tops it! Or germany, the "Sauschwänzle-Bahn". Not with this length of trains, but in curves and height difference...
Neat! took me a bit to spot the DPU.
Brilliant footage 👏👏👏👏👏😍
Many thanks
I love trains, and this is so cool!!

great video...a very good engineer work

@Knob Jockey im google Übersetzer steht " tape wotm, aber das trifft es nicht wurklich😊 besser wäre " endless worm" , glaub ich🤭
Track Layout Designer: "How many loops are we permitted?" ➿
Train Engineer: "Yes!" 🚂

Great video! Thanks!
Glad you liked it!
Excellent, nice footage
Many thanks!
WHAT A GREAT VIDEO !!
Thank you!
Beautiful shots!! Thank you for sharing. We need you to find Big Foot for us with that amazing drone and camera.
Haha!

I saw that from the door of a boxcar in 1970.

Said with tongue firmly in cheek.
@@ronaldhorne5106 I hope.
Reminds me of the snow piercer climbing up the cokscrew
Great engineering. Due to different terrain . Hat's Off to our engineers . ,( Ground engineering and Operational staff
Красиво конечно ! но не понятно , зачем такую петлю сделали ?
Parabéns belo vídeo. 🇧🇷
Amazing capture....
Can I use this video in my train compilation video credit to you in video will be given
Yes, sure
@@bobmurphy87 Thank you 😊
Sencillamente espectacular.
Great Video, new sub here, thanks for sharing
This allows the very heavy trains to make a five metre gradient rise in the shortest possible safe distance.
Elevation change? Necessitates the additional track to maintain grade?.? Just a guess...
февраль / 20 число / 2022 год ? странная компановка даты . сначала идёт день (число) , потом месяц и год .
Imagine the wheels squealing, I live near a small curve and the squealing is deafening.
This wasn't really too bad.
🇧🇷 fantástico 👍
No music please
what is the grade on that curve?
How many engine and how many freight car do they have ?
Toilets Matey? right at the back sir.
Ha!
😍🤩
holyshit！！！😵
C’est très beau mais ça a l’air complètement inutile !
The piano music distracts from the video.
I thought it absolutely bumped 🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶 really tied the video together nicely!
I don’t agree.
I can only guess that it's better than the sound of the drone whining lol
Why is the train so long ?
Lay parsann. Vatal. Male
Was für eine Platzverschwendung
Irre...
But why did they construct this? It’s pointless.
To ease the grade, as it is its a 2 percent grade. If the railroad had made it a straight line the grade would have been much too steep.
Speed, gradient and cheaper than a bridge, I can imagine.
And so is your comment pointless
Saw what you did there
Why? To inspire model railroaders everywhere
