...Most I've seen was back in the 70s, when an 8 loco team was pulling open gondola cars with a shitload of scrap metal of all types (gigantic old gears, pipes, motor housings, scrap from punch press blanking, steel frames, a few of the cars filled with old cast iron engine blocks, rusted old car panels, and what looked like cut up plates from ship superstructures), all headed for the then big steel mills in Pittsburgh...
Awesome Video! that first train was a good way to start the video with that 10 unit lashup! that Geep pulling the string of hoppers was cool too. The scherer trains are still getting pretty good power these days. And for the closing, the SD90MAC was AWESOME! those are Really Rare!
Yes they sure are, a lot more exciting now than back in April/May/June when it was all "Pumpkin Specials", nothing against the Pumpkins, a trains a train, but still when they're on every single coal train......you wish for a little variety. Was nice to see #7247 again, NS rebuilt they're 50th SD70ACU this week so the window is really closing on them. Thanks Harrison!
GREAT catches, Dan! That was a really nice lashup on 16Z, reminds me of the 8 unit lashup I caught on MFWNL. A02's Geep sure was pulling a lot of cars on the return trip. And what a rainstorm, I was in one like that in Montana a few months ago. My camera got soaked. :D
Thanks Matthew! Yeah that GP38-3 was workin' hard, quite a long train he had. Lol I got sooooo soaked but my sturdy umbrella kept my camcorder relatively dry. :D
I've seen it flash when the gates are down, but also when like an ambulance is coming thru and they want to keep the traffic light red or whatever, I think its just some sort of tech for the intersection.

The horn does not seem very loud. Do they stupidly have the horns facing backward becausengine crews complain they are too loud in the cab? When I was riding Amtrak head end, we had safety glasses and ear-plugs. I was to wear my own steel-toed shoes.
No its facing forward, it was probably my camcorder and or the wind that day that made it not seem loud. Sometimes when the wind was right you could hear a train leaving the yard in Memphis a full 10 miles away and then hear the horn get louder and louder. Then when it reached you it was like WOW, incredibly loud. Some like cloudy foggy days you wouldn't hear the horn until the train came thru the xing you were at.
navin babji well some facts for u. Running several fiat Alice tug boat engine engines v-16. 3000 brake wheel horse power each wheel full inter axel wheel lock deployment and sand spreader deployment, 850,000 tractive driver per square inch. Let's pull each car about 660,000 pounds per car tare 180,000. Chief engineer LaBonte
Sort of, the extra locomotives here were probably being sent to Sheffield Alabama which is a NS hub to then go out on trains east to Chattanooga, South to B'Ham, or back west to Memphis again.
It’s called Distributed Power, usually used on long or heavy trains. The front and rear consist communicate through radio signals all controlled by the leader. The rear consist will also pump up the train from the rear helping decrease the time it takes to charge the brake pipe. You can either run the head and the rear simultaneously or you can “put your fence up” and run them separately.
Here I'm pulling on average 660,000 pounds per rail car. 10 deep lashed up running a v-16 fiat Alice tug boat engine 3000 brake wheel horse power each wheel, 850,000 tractive pounds per inch to the rail. Full inter axel wheel lock deployment and sand spreader on stand by. Let's go with throttle up. Let's pull.
@@andrewcrane2786 ignore this jackass. He's not a train engineer nor is he, as he also claims an ex Concorde captain. Most certainly, he isn't Captain and Shift Commander LaBonte USAF Patriot Wing as he also claims.
Thanks airing and sharing the outstanding video series with magnificent locomotives.Endeavors are prominent.Bliss
That Geep was killing the game. Old EMDs slugging it out are my favorite catches.
K5LLA! And 10 engines! Awesome catch!
I loved that K5LLA on NS 1147.
And two BNSF ACE leaders in a row
Nice video man!
Thanks! K5LLA's are my favorite horns
That's the name of that horn? They're my favorites too
Just love listening to K5LLA's...

Great video and great catches Dan! SD70MAC my favorite. Thanks for posting!
- Balerio
The SD70MAC's, especially the Executives are some of my favorite units to catch. Thanks Balerio!
really? Macs to me are super ugly. And their horn is way to high pitched. I prefer sd70ace's personally.
NS Intermodal 22N with Up power?!
Nice! Lots of power!
EMD makes the best looking locos period!
NS 16Z ( ex UP QNLSF )!
Lots of great catches there. Loved the 10 engine at the start. Great work.
Thanks!
Nice Seeing a SD70Mac on Dpu
Well that n.s. 10 unit moves didn't need any d.p.u.alllllritey helping it along,just good old b.n s.f used them,good shots .
The engineers don't wave from the trains anymore, not like they did back in 1954
NS train 734 with Cititrail DPU!
Thats why UFO most of them have a shapre like sound speakers I meant the magnet and its cone.
great catch!
Wow, whatta thrilling nice horn sounding!!!👍👍👍
I agree! Thanks for watching!
NS train 16Z ( ex UP QNLSF! )
Ns Train 732 with Yet another BNSF!
Great footage, well done!
Вопрос,а как синхронизируется работа тепловозов в сцепке,ну не сидят же в каждом машинисты?
Imagine if an SD100MAC came out
Nice vid! Loved that P5 on The dash 8! (8439)

These locomotives are beautiful ! ! !
When I go to the United States, I stay in the state of Texas
They are indeed beautiful.

Excellent shots :)
Thanks man!

NS loaded coal train 734 with BNSF!
ten loco's??
and 500 containers/200000 tons?
awesome
Excellent catch video
NS loaded coal train 732 with BNSF leader!
Raw brute power. Love all locomotives.
Greg LaPlante yes I know I do too powerful bruits👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Great video,,,just a heads up, Sherer is a plant owned by Ga power, the town that the train go's into is actually called Juliette.
Quite a fleet of locomotives on that one train!
when the train is coming with 10 locomotives,u know you're gonna be stuck there for 30 minutes
Wow the big Murica has some serious diesel locomotives :) love them
What country are you from Bro?
@@carlzipperman6689 Hungary, we don't have these big bois unfurtunately
@@CicaeMeow lol, my mother's side is from Budapest. Small world!
What a lineup! Great catches!
Thanks!
Nice catch of that 10-loco lash-up with a full train! I once saw a 12-loco lash-up but with not freight cars!
Thanks for watching!
A lash-up with no freight cars are called power-moves
So Wonderful video new friend! Thank you for sharing!
Awesome catches! Loved the SD90! That Dash 8 had an interesting horn on 23N.
Thanks!
Great video !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The horn honors. We know that the train is strong and fast. Greeting from Indonesia.
GREAT catches, Dan! That was a really nice lashup on 16Z, reminds me of the 8 unit lashup I caught on MFWNL. A02's Geep sure was pulling a lot of cars on the return trip. And what a rainstorm, I was in one like that in Montana a few months ago. My camera got soaked. :D

Wow, stellar catches Dan!! That 10 unit lashup was cool!! Most i've seen is 8 so i've got some work to do :P
It was quite the sight to see....a new record for me. 8 was my record last year, since then I saw 9 twice and then this 16Z. Thanks alot Gary!!
The most I saw was 6, 5 on camera
thats what I was wondering, the last few didnt sound like they were online.
still cool though.
@@arkie74 Three, I imagine.
Super amazing. Thank you so much :D

10 loco's on 16Z nice. awesome catches.
Thanks.
Norfolk Southern ES44AC your welcome
They put the centerbeam at the end..smart.
Lots of EMD leaders in this. Very nice.
0:20 What is the rotating red light flashing in the left of the frame?
I've seen it flash when the gates are down, but also when like an ambulance is coming thru and they want to keep the traffic light red or whatever, I think its just some sort of tech for the intersection.
he gave you a nice hello
That SD90 was actually working?
Yeah, used to see a lot of those before NS rebuilt 'em.
I can't resist the lash up consist!
Great Lashup !!!
Nice catches and video Dan!
Thanks man!
WOW 10! Great catch!
That gave me chills oh yeah👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

A NS train 733 without BNSF
The horn does not seem very loud. Do they stupidly have the horns facing backward becausengine crews complain they are too loud in the cab? When I was riding Amtrak head end, we had safety glasses and ear-plugs. I was to wear my own steel-toed shoes.

Poor Geep. While all the big boys are slacking off
That's some beast right there.
Awesome catches man!!!

Exciting movie!
04:12- 04:30 beautiful bnsf diesel sound
Não sei pra que este tanto de locomotivas pra puxar uma composição não tão grande assim
Пойыз рақмет. Пойыз рақмет
The loco's are chatting about their health. Thanks for having a radio on you.
The ten loco lash up was awesome, wish i was the loco pilot, imagine all that horse power in our hands....😀😀😀😀😀
airplanes have pilots, trains have engineers/drivers/machinist
brunoignaciogi they call it loco pilot go and study a bit kid
They call them locomotive pilots in some other parts of the world.

Thanks man!
Great catches!
Thanks Bishop! What's the most units you've ever seen on 1 train?
I wanna say 8 or 9. It was a KCS with ACes in both grey and belles a few GEVOS and a GP38
KCStrainiac Nice! Forgot KCS has GP38's. :P
Nice power move
I would assume they were rounded up to return to Sheffield a hub terminal.
Yeah that's what was going on
Aren't these consists for the purpose of Power Transfers?
Sort of, the extra locomotives here were probably being sent to Sheffield Alabama which is a NS hub to then go out on trains east to Chattanooga, South to B'Ham, or back west to Memphis again.
Now That's Alot of Engine's
Second most I've ever seen on a train. Thanks for watching.
Love them beast! Growling !
I gotta ask where all those engines online
No, just the first 3 locomotives were running, the other 6 were off.
They would be exceeding max powered axle restrictions by a long shot if they ran them all. So no only the first couple were running.
2:43 is this some kind of tug of war?
Java U18C they're called DPU's, distributed power units aka helpers
only had the 70ACe C44-9W and SD70M loading. The other six dead in tow.
Excellent!
Amazing video
Thanks for watching.
Does it help when a train puts two engine's up front and two at the rear?
Yes, it helps with the power and air throughout the train.
It’s called Distributed Power, usually used on long or heavy trains. The front and rear consist communicate through radio signals all controlled by the leader. The rear consist will also pump up the train from the rear helping decrease the time it takes to charge the brake pipe. You can either run the head and the rear simultaneously or you can “put your fence up” and run them separately.

Full inter axel wheel lock deployment and sand spreader on stand by. Let's go with throttle up. Let's pull.
Love engine drivers , they enjoy yanking that chain lol
Must be a cool job! Only thing is they get worked like non-stop. Those guys are always doing 12+ hour days. They do make good money though
Three engines also produce power to pull.
Wow ten locomotives how cool nice
Andrew Crane thanks for watching

Tanks for the vidio, machine s powerfull!
Why so many engines on the 1st one?
Deadheading units to another yard. Only two or three are on line...
nice catch
Nice! You should have told me about 733 with the NS units. BTW, did you ever see NS 1030 lead that coal train in January that I saw?
Thanks! No, just seen it working as a DPU in January twice.
Ah. I know Jonah saw it as a DPU a few days before I saw it leading.
