This not just a technical train video for train heads, but a high quality production that captures the beauty of the area as well. Your drone piloting skills are obviously top notch. You have clearly been flying it first person, and beyond line of sight, which is incredibly tricky when the drone is going both with and against the train. Bravo! Incredible video!!
The longest Australian goods train was the BHP Billiton Iron Ore Train, which was 7.352 kilometres (4.57 miles) long and weighed 99,734 tons: It happened: on June 21, 2001, the train travelled 275 kilometres (170.88 miles) from the Newman and Yandi mines to Port Hedland, Western Australia. The train consisted of 682 ore cars and was hauled by eight diesel-electric locomotives. It was able to transport 82,000 tons of iron ore. A single driver controlled the train. Normal BHP Billiton Iron Ore trains can be up to 2.8 kilometres (1.7 miles) long, with typically 268 cars, and can weigh 43,000 tonnes
Also, to mention how well the soundtrack is mixed. Living in Hawai'i means I can only enjoy the big trains on video and this is one of the best I've seen. Great job!
Great video. Awesome train. All of that screeching of flanges on the curved rail is causing significant slowing of the train. Those locomotives are working very hard.
Sure seems so. Is it all that expensive and cost ineffective to add a couple more locomotives in the middle? Anyone know? (of course, there will be railroaders out there who know).
Fantastic drone video. Much more interesting than watching four engines then 100 cars from the side. I watch trains at Ordway (Mile Marker 548) most mornings. The "Z" trains pass that grade crossing with five engines forward and two DP's in the middle. Estimated speed is 30 to 35 MPH. They must be in a real hurry to get somewhere.
Welcome back to Southern California really enjoyed your Donner pass footage. The radio chatter is always interesting and the dispatch was right Mt. Vernon and Loma Linda are like a half a mile if not less apart but i guess rules are rules and its good to hear they are abiding by them. Those EMD;s are making this possible 4 locos with that much weight is impressive. Nice Blue shirt ROB hahaha. Thanks again for the wonderful catch.
@CalebA-sv2kw haha thank you very much Caleb! 😎🔵 Very true, and I'll have more EMD action later! And yea i miss donner, i could probably stay up there and not come down, lol
@@CalebA-sv2kw Yes, but intermodal trains are not heavy when compared to a unit train or a manifest train. The length of these intermodal trains adds rolling resistance and they make communication between the locomotive and EOT problematic. So DPU's placed mid-train assist in overcoming the resistance that the length creates, and they act as a repeater for communication between the head and rear ends of the train.
Beautifully done for us non-railroad technical people. I wish there was a way you could explain to us what they’re talking about between each other on the radios.
Very cool 😎 👌 👍 freight train 🚆 video 📹 wow what a beast of a train 🚆, awesome drone footage along the way some great scenery along the way to, that must have taken some time to put this load together, awesome video 📹 👌👍
EMDs 645s or710s V 20 s sounds like . Saw a loco a week ago U.P.nnorth of Tucson over 4 miles of cars with multiple DPUs double stacked . Damnest bunch of cars I’ve ever seen on one train . 4,400 hp each loco . All those trees eatin the CO2 really green
thanks for the capture! at 2:35 mark, dd you fly your drone over engine exhaust? I wouldn't think you could do that with the heat, but what do I know? at 6:00 the white area in back, is that from a mud slide? thanks
@joebidenbites1015 thank you!😎🫡 Yes, I do try and avoid the engine exhaust, but it gets tricky. As for the white area, I do believe it's a small dry river bed. 💧
Vegas is saying no to the A’s moving as they firmly believe they can stay in Oakland but Fisher had already done the damage and Sac will be waiting for the move.
@@CalebA-sv2kw those are on the dirt from a derailment. I have no idea when. You can tell they're kinda tore up, I'll have to make a video getting a closer look 📹
Total of four locomotives for a 3 mile train going up a 1.8 degree grade. Under powered, needs at least two or three more locomotives. I think those trains are too long anyway, a mile Max should be at .

This ultra longest double stack-car train is lifelines of American people.
I live here in the San timoteo canyon love the trains that come through here on a daily 🔥
That's awesome! Thanks for looking!
A new standard is train videos
Haha, Thank you very much! It's alot of fun, glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you very much!😎 That's true, a lot of Rolling resistance going through the S Curves.
Really nice drone work!
Great Video! With Great Commentary! Keep it UP and Be Safe! 😊
Thank you! 😎
Always under powered

Four engines seem to be handling all that tonnage very well.

Those rails will be flexing as it makes its way through the blow sand of the Coachella Valley.
@corycampbell9811 haha yup, thanks Cory 😎👌
@@RRTrainVideos we’ve had a few derailments near Indio over the years. Last derailment was near Washington Street in Bermuda Dunes.
It was a bunch of office supplies, that was the first time seeing carnage on the rails. I lived across the street and was able to walk

It's not the weight, it's the length.
@@michlo3393 Doesn't the length add determine the weight the longer it is the heavier it will be right?

Thank you Carol, I appreciate it! 😎
I love how you flew by the head unit ,emd😊, audio is very😎
@bradleyjanes2949 thanks Bradley!😎 i got another one after this, with an EMD really screaming
These drones and 4k footage are so good these days. Don't feel as bad about not seeing these in person !
Haha true!
Beautifully done I just wish there was someway you can tell us explain what they’re talking about on the radio between different people
@@michaelwalker2740 thank you!😎 that's a good idea 💡 I'll try and add text explaining some of the radio conversations

GREAT Job on the drone SIR........................Wonderful video.....and just think , only 4 Locomotives !
Thank you very much!! 😎 Yea pretty crazy, just 4 locos
Another great vid, that area is a favorite , but you know that, is fisherman's retreat still there? Ty👍😎
@bradleyjanes2949 yes it is still there! I see people up there all the time.
@@RRTrainVideos fantastic, thanks again

The action! A recent study revealed a 200 car train is 20% more likly to derail
I just read an article about that haha.
@@RRTrainVideos Really does up the action. Hey great job on the channel, really unique skills much like Hollywood!
@@FirstnameLastname-tp4zw Thank you very much!😎
nice drone work and your comments add a lot, sometime you might want to do some voice commentary!

16000 ft. needs repeater D.P. engine in middle for rear d.p. to link with lead power

We don't see set ups like this in the northeast
thanks for the capture!

🔝
I could see being in my ambulance with a full arrest patient in the back crew doing CPR waiting at a crossing for this train to pass.
i wonder if some of that train will end up in croxton/secaucus nj ??
Ultra longest double stack-car train, highest howsepowers pulling diesel locomotives, ultra longest double stack-car train.

A car just got hit in San Timoteo today!
@phannyphanny9053 Hmm, interesting. What crossing did it happen at?
@@RRTrainVideos if you have socials I could send it to you
Great video. How many cars?
Thanks Roger!😎 I put my best guess in the video 📹
One question are those two abandoned well cars just sitting in the dirt or are there tracks beneath them?
@@CalebA-sv2kw those are on the dirt from a derailment. I have no idea when. You can tell they're kinda tore up, I'll have to make a video getting a closer look 📹
love it @ 10:00 where your following the helpers! the angle is perfect! great work!
@Psalm.119. Thank you, sir! 😎 I appreciate it!
Killer work back home in the canyon😎... may I ask what frequency you are on?
Thank you very much!😎 I'm on CH42 and 96
@RRTrainVideos Thanks! Not sure if our channels are tuned to the same frequency. My 42 and 96 are different.
@FJDad777 Oh yea, sorry. I'm using AAR railroad channels. So
Ch 42 is 160.740
Ch 96 is 161.550
I believe they change channels at Ordway, with Ch 42 going West and 96 going east, so I monitor both 👍
@RRTrainVideos Thanks you so very much! 😊🤝
lol nope only reason we open the front door like that cause the AC is out not enjoying fresh air lol
@jamesyoung7655 haha 😅 thanks for the reply there, big dog James
Or someone had to use the bathroom...
@@RRTrainVideos lmbo

A.C. probably not working. We never take a crap on lead engine. Period. If it was already stinking, it would have been switched out.
