    When something goes wrong on these monster trains, it's a headache for train crews, but a nightmare for motorists. Those BNSF locomotives can be seen just about anywhere now. Cool roadrailer too.

    That was a great video yours are always a pleasure to watch. We had a CN freight a few years ago break an air hose blocking 6 crossings 2 main ones pulls forward after the repair and then breaks a knuckle on a hopper and ties it up again The crossings were closed all day it was fortunate this happened on a Sunday.The police and fire dept. is right next to those crossings and effectively cut off all their east and south access. It was a mess police were rerouting everything for 11 hours!

    I had a stack train out of New Orleans, La, 25 cars, with one ol GE C39 engine. I told the yardmaster that one engine was not going to handle the train. He stated that we only had 25 cars and I told him stack cars are 5 cars and that we were 125 cars long. He stated that the tonnage was right for one engine and sent us on our way. We got half way across Lake Pontchartrain trestle and the air went on. On compressor was not enough to keep the brake line charged. We went a hundred sixty miles to Meridian, Ms., stopping every twenty miles or so because of the brakes coming on. Needless to say NS lost the APL stack train business. This was not the only time that I came out with not enough power, the train could run sixty mph, but we would only get enough power to run forty mph. Poor customer service for a “hot shot” train.

    Roadrailer trailer tires appear to just barely clear crossing pavement surface. See 9:44 and 17:50.
    Would be nice to know if the geography train checks for these clearances. Tie, let’s see you capture some day a still shot looking straight on at street level to verify pavement clearance.
    I’m big on risk assessments in transportation systems, and since your vids are so detailed, this one hazard risk jumped right out. Thanks Tie.

    I like your name, I hd the honor of being on a yard section gang before any mechanized equipment. One time we worked a wreck near Jasper, Alabama and had to put the track back after a wreck with hand tools(circa 1974) We even had to use the bars to bend the track. That was the worst job around.

      Lately the CP trains have been getting a bit longer add oftentimes two units is it. 1 leader and the DPU either 2/3 back or at the end. If they have problems coming in from the West and sometimes if Motive Power fails going west it gets blocked for 20 blocks over 5 Crossings. There is an overpass on both ends but it's hard on the narrow streets. Good coverage of the sad but true problems out there
