Here's a little video of two sets of trains racing up a steep 2%+ grade. Join this channel to get access to perks And support the channel: / @rrphotographer661
In 1992 I went camping here, and at Tehachapi Loop for a few nights with our model railroad club. That was a great time to be a railfan because you never knew what was coming around the curve...
Trains racing up the Cajon Pass is a sight to behold! The power and speed of these locomotives are truly impressive. Thanks for capturing such an iconic railroading moment!
Parabéns pelo vidéo muito bacana local maravilhoso de uma vista incrivél essa composição de vagoês ficou muito show, muito obrigado pela sua dedicação. fico aqui no (Brasil) em Montes claros mg só babando e curtindo esses trens e locais maravilhosos sonho,Em algum dia poder ter essa experiencia de poder ver uma composição dessas passando na minha frente.
You’ve got a loose still camera impinging it’s shutter action sound on the otherwise impressive diesel exhaust coming towards your video position!?! I used to have that problem til I shot it!!! That aside I really loved the video - impressive countryside, fantastic camera positioning and GE V10’s grunting hard!!! Really good videography!
That is a track-geometry car with a covered-hopper as a safety buffer car. The underside of the geometry car has lasers, scanners, and cameras for measurements.
@@johncamp2567 I don't quarrel with your statement that the buffer car is somehow for safety reasons, however, what particular safety issue would that be? I rode a G-car over several different districts of the ATSF years ago. We never had a railcar between the power and the testing unit. May I suggest that the purpose of the buffer car is to isolate any effect of the power unit operation on the track structure during testing. Certain pass/fail tolerances are measured in fractions of an inch in track geometry. The issue is not far from an issue of correctly measuring the temperature of an axle bearing and accounting for ambient temperature.

thanks for the feed back!
すばらしいロケーション。雄大な自然を背景に走る貨物列車が素敵。

That background
thank you
Excellent train captures. 👍
Great video😊
How many engines are bank engines? Or are all units full trip allocated?
Very enjoyable! (new subscriber, Virginia)
Thank you John
The term "racing" is overkill.
Is it tho???
Are these two individual lines that meet or one huge passing loop? Watching in New Zealand.
This section of the Cajon pass has 3 main lines stretching for about 18 miles before it goes to a double track mainline
What does the opening title mean? 'The World My Never No' Other than that nice footage!
Só faltou você vira a câmera pra vê o outro lado.

At 14:10 there was an engine and 2 cars passing the other train. What was the last car in that short train?

RACING???? American freighters dont race anywhere
World famous? The US is not the world.
People travel from all over the world to go there…. So I’d say so
Stop being so precious. Cajon Pass is known to many rail enthusiasts all over the world. I know it fairly well and I'm down in Australia.
Here in Europe Cajon Pass is well known by railroaders. It is absolutely world famous along with Tehachapi and Donner Pass.
I don't think you understand what the term "world famous" means.
Nice ,but I've yet to see the racing part.
