- Trains shown in this video were filmed between 11/24 and 11/28.
This past week trackside on the Norfolk Southern Memphis West District has been a good one, NS ran several interesting lashups and some rare locomotives by here, namely one of 7 SD90MAC's, a Citirail leaser, my first "Heritage II" ES44DC leader, and a YUUUUGE consist on 16Z. :P
0:43 - TEN, count 'em, TEN Norfolk Southern locomotives on train 16Z. Filmed on a cloudy Thanksgiving morning. Aside from the delivery train of T4's I filmed in June this is the most locomotives I've ever seen on one train. Link to Tier 4 video - • NS M6A with 13 brand n...
1:48 - Keeping the lights on even on Thanksgiving day : a NS crew brings yet another train of PRB coal by Germantown en route to Sheffield Alabama and then the Scherer Power Plant in Georgia.
3:18 - The next morning I caught another Scherer coal, this train with a NS SD70ACe trailing. NS power has been fairly scarce on these trains for the past 4 months, but we're seeing more of it lately.
4:58 - A02 with a rebuilt geep in the lead
5:53 - After picking up 50+ empty stone cars at Vulcan Quarry by Rossville TN NS A02 heads back towards Memphis with this geep workin' hard, turn up the volume!
7:12 - 733, empty coal bucket, rolls westward with a solid NS lashup
8:48 - The Westbound "Express" aka NS 265 rolls west behind a BNSF "Heritage II" ES44DC. This was my first time seeing one of these lead, since BNSF switched to the H3 scheme roughly around the time GE started building GEVO's the vast majority of them are painted in H3.
9:56 - Early on Saturday morning a short 22N heads east behind a UP SD70M
10:55 - After 22N along comes 734, a loaded Scherer coal bucket, with a Citirail GE working as DPU. Lead units were two BNSF GEVO's...I forgot to upload them. :P
11:38 - 391 with an older UP SD70ACe trailing. This train runs daily from Sheffield Alabama to Pine Bluff Arkansas, NS hands it off to the UP in Memphis
12:55 - 22N runs east as light power on a chilly Sunday morning, this was the first time I've seen 22N run lite from Memphis to pick up ALL his cars at Rossville. Most days he leaves Memphis with quite a few cars and picks up a few more at Rossville.
13:38 - Later that day I caught a Rossville to Memphis baretable move with a pair of BNSF units in charge. These two units were dropped at Rossville from an empty coal the day before.
15:03 - 736 heads east under a huge downpour....listen to that rain! :P
16:17 - On Sunday afternoon I heard per Facebook that 23N was leaving Atlanta with a SD70ACU leading one of the few active SD90MAC's.....so Monday night I was out to see 23N, however to my disappointment they had swapped out the ACU somewhere (probably Sheffield) for a Dash8 & a pair of UP SD70M's. Was still nice to see the SD90. Also filmed a rare KCSM DPU this evening on 737 but the camcorder had problems and couldn't save it to card.... :P oh well. Anyways watch in HD and enjoy!

Wow, I've never seen 10 engines in a row before.
Oh, I've seen more than that.
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...
Thanks airing and sharing the outstanding video series with magnificent locomotives.Endeavors are prominent.Bliss
EMD makes the best looking locos period!
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.
Wow, whatta thrilling nice horn sounding!!!👍👍👍
I agree! Thanks for watching!
Nice vid! Loved that P5 on The dash 8! (8439)
...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...
Excellent catch video
Awesome catches! Loved the SD90! That Dash 8 had an interesting horn on 23N.
Thanks!
Lots of great catches there. Loved the 10 engine at the start. Great work.
Thanks!
What a lineup! Great catches!
Thanks!
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!
Super video!
Thanks!
Quite a fleet of locomotives on that one train!
Super amazing. Thank you so much :D
when the train is coming with 10 locomotives,u know you're gonna be stuck there for 30 minutes
Awesome catches! Especially the lashup on 16Z!
Thanks Noah!
Raw brute power. Love all locomotives.
Greg LaPlante yes I know I do too powerful bruits👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
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.
Great footage, well done!
So Wonderful video new friend! Thank you for sharing!
I can't resist the lash up consist!
These locomotives are beautiful ! ! !
When I go to the United States, I stay in the state of Texas
They are indeed beautiful.
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!
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
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
Tanks for the vidio, machine s powerfull!
Lots of EMD leaders in this. Very nice.
WOW 10! Great catch!
Awesome catches man!!!
Thanks!
he gave you a nice hello
great catch!
Love them beast! Growling !
That gave me chills oh yeah👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
The horn honors. We know that the train is strong and fast. Greeting from Indonesia.
Nice! Lots of power!
Nice catches and video Dan!
Thanks man!
As Locomotivas É quem
faz o Show! 😂😂😂😂😂😊😊😊👍👍👍👍👍.
Great Lashup !!!
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.
10 loco's on 16Z nice. awesome catches.
Thanks.

Poor Geep. While all the big boys are slacking off
That's some beast right there.
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.
04:12-04:30 beautiful bnsf helper diesel sound
Now That's Alot of Engine's
Second most I've ever seen on a train. Thanks for watching.
Excellent!
They put the centerbeam at the end..smart.
Exciting movie!
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
04:12- 04:30 beautiful bnsf diesel sound
cool video awesome lashup
Amazing video
Thanks for watching.
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.
navin babji Yeah and it’s blast off to the moon 🌝
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
The loco's are chatting about their health. Thanks for having a radio on you.
wow...awesome video and mix..like friend
Dang! Was that BNSF 8762 at 4:22 a SD90- H model? Sounded just like the 4 stroke of the GEVO BNSF 6215 it was lashed up with.
emall low No that was an SD70ACE. And the sound was coming from the GEVO not the SD70.
Imagine if an SD100MAC came out
Wow ten locomotives how cool nice
Andrew Crane thanks for watching
Sst Pilot you're welcome
@@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.
Man that's bizarre.. Where did the 70ACu go on 23N? Also, nice video as always man! Makes me want to take a day off work just to railfan.
Its quite the mystery for sure, my best guess is it was dropped at Sheffield with some mechanical or computer issue, and the Dash8 & 2nd UP 70M were added at Rossville, but who knows....its almost as odd as that KCS "Ghost train" from a little while back. :D Thanks Alex!
nice catch
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.
Awesome video & catches!! That 16Z was REALLY overpowered, must be the biggest consist you've ever seen. That was neat seeing that H2 ES44DC leading 265! Nice catch on another ex-UP SD90MAC, hard to believe they're almost gone. Bummer about that KCSM unit you couldn't save on camera, was that on a BNSF coal train?
Thanks a lot Andrey! Yep second biggest consist I've ever seen, the M6A Tier 4 delivery train had 15 locomotives. Yeah NS has rebuilt *51* SD70ACU's so far, only 6 ex-UP SD90's left in service! Very rare indeed. Yes that KCSM was a DPU on one of the empty Scherer coal trains which NS hands off to the BNSF in Memphis.
it would appear some locomotives were dead in tow? But that's hard to say from a video perspective
OldSchool1500 Yes only the two lead units were running.
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
Excellent
Thanks man!
what camera is this
Video in my recommendations
734 with Citirail DPU!
Nice power move
3:49 the headlights up top the Norfolk Southern look like a pair of eyes lol
NS loaded coal train 732 with BNSF leader!
NS train 734 with Cititrail DPU!
7:56 Forgotten heritage unit!
?
Não sei pra que este tanto de locomotivas pra puxar uma composição não tão grande assim
ten loco's??
and 500 containers/200000 tons?
awesome
Вопрос,а как синхронизируется работа тепловозов в сцепке,ну не сидят же в каждом машинисты?
Three engines also produce power to pull.
I would assume they were rounded up to return to Sheffield a hub terminal.
Yeah that's what was going on
The engineers don't wave from the trains anymore, not like they did back in 1954
wow 10 NS trains
Thats why UFO most of them have a shapre like sound speakers I meant the magnet and its cone.
NS loaded coal train 734 with BNSF!
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.
Beautiful vedio I enjoy too much
NS Intermodal 22N with Up power?!
Ns Train 732 with Yet another BNSF!
NS 16Z ( ex UP QNLSF )!
Fantastic 🎥! How where you able to determine the train's destination?
Thanks Rod. Facebook groups are quite
helpful for train info, the group I'm in has a up-to-date list of what trains
run on this line and where they run, on the radio scanner I sometimes hear
trains' destinations, and there's also this list -www.jreb.org/ns/index.php?topic=11774.0
-That list is missing a fair amount but it has at least a 1/3 of NS's trains
listed on it.
Awesome! I'm in Jackson, MS. I live near CN and KCS lines. Amtrak City of New Orleans runs the CN lines. Thanks for the info!
Rod Simmons Neat, I've got to railfan down there someday. And no prob!
This is my page where you can find my videos. Thanks again for all of the advice!
Excelentisimo
10 engines wow
NS Intermodal Stacktrain 265 ( ex BNSF QAUGALG! )
only had the 70ACe C44-9W and SD70M loading. The other six dead in tow.
