High Speed Union Pacific Trains across the Sunset Route in California

  • Опубликовано: 10 сен 2024
  • Located about 2 hours to the East of the Los Angeles Basin, lies the Salton Sea. This desolate area of California's Sonoran Desert doesn't have much - except for trains. The Union Pacific Sunset Route, also known as the Yuma Subdivision in this territory, runs right through the heart of the Sonoran Desert. In this footage from mid-late 2018, you'll see various Union Pacific freight trains as they pass through this area. While some freights are slower than others, they can reach some higher speeds in this area! Much has changed since 2018, as a "PSR" model has fallen on Union Pacific, causing major consolidation of trains.
    As always, thanks for watching! | Video and Content by MichaelLovesTrains 2020

    I was a UP rail for 14 years. I’m very familiar with the Sunset run. I never thought I would miss it.
    Nice job filming. Beautiful sky....HIGH BALL that roll by.

    You know how to shoot trains: no zooming, phase out/in to change FL, phase out/in to skip the middle of the train (manifest trains might be interesting enough to show the whole thing, maybe), only the occasional crossing bells, smooth panning only at the right time. Well done! My only request would be more interesting lighting. You have some toward the end, but most lighting was a bit bland. (Can you shoot with a polorizer?)

    Like your videos, but when you say "high speed" what does that mean? Can you give us a number or at least an estimate?

    • @stephenroberts4895
      @stephenroberts4895 4 года назад +1

      In most cases, outside of passenger trains, high speed freights are normally defined as doing 60 mph, or faster.

    • @Thibbs136
      @Thibbs136 Год назад +1

      Precision schedule railroading. (Running longer trains, to eliminate crew members).
      The average train length used to be a mile and a half now you can see them commonly up to 4 miles long. Locomotives are added in the middle & rear but are controlled by remote control from the engineer in the front.
