- I caught BNSF's northbound Daygo departing San Diego, CA on 1/5/10. Engines are 7 BNSF ES44DC's #s 7721 7781 7744 7736 7723 7780 7770. This is the longest Daygo I've ever seen!

Cool cool
I know those people in their cars are mad at the big slow train going by😂
@trainkids Actually, it's not loose air. Excess air is released occasionally in one loud whoosh (air letoff). Two examples of this can be heard at 2:21 and 2:24. That clicking sound you hear is the air dryer which modern locomotives have at the bottom of the main resevoir to spit out air and water (mostly when the engine is idling.) Water is gets into the air system and pools in the resevoirs. Water can't compress, so if it were sucked into a brake cylinder, it could cause damage.
Nice catch! Too many GEVOs these days in San Diego. It gets to the point that I don't want to go out and catch the DAYGO unless it has a C44-9W or some other locomotive leading.
wow. looking at that big bastard go past made me see alot of good hop spots.
@trainkids
From 02:11 to 02:33. It is pretty kenspeckle when the GE locos are passing through the camera.
The amfleets are usually on train 572, which turns into 583 later in the day.
I have never seen a flat car with that many trucks at just prior to the tank car armada! I've seen trains definitely longer than that so do I take it that San Diego doesn't get a lot of freight traffic via rail lines in terms of total rail car manifests? San Diego doesn't have much industry or does it? I know in Los Angeles train stretch over a mile bound for eastern points!!!
Also, in regards to your question about how BNSF "names" its trains, the 1 in your example M-SDGBAR1-23 is section # and the 23 is the date on which the train is running. Not entirely sure though.
What's that clicking sound?
How long was it
