BHP Billiton Iron Ore Train, Port Hedland, Western Australia. 6th June 2016. A Vic Tilling Production. Channel Vic Tilling/RUclips. (VideoWombat.net does not exist anymore.)
Those trains are massive. The dumpers are also pretty impressive. As the train shunts through they pick up each car and tip it upside down to empyt the ore.
2x EMD SD70ACe/lcs + 133 Hoppers + 2x EMD SD70ACe/lcs + 133 Hoppers. each SD70 has 4600hp, each car has 100t capacity. 18500hp and over 25000t ore! preaty impressive!
You guys have some awesome trains in Australia! I an sitting near the southernmost Union Pacific line, in Arizona, which goes from California to Texas and possibly further. The trains are long a frequent. I grew up with trains in Dayton, Ohio, carrying mostly car parts or new cars, but also coal and plenty of it. Every hour I hear a train and they were fairly loud as they echoed in the great Miami River valley. Only downside with the pollution back then! cough cough. Smelled like sulfur and various chemicals. Out here in Arizona, in less populated area, is crystal clear skies.
Days of the CM40-8M it was 208 cars and then went up to 224 cars. The 112 rake usually formed the famous 3 rake consist of 336 cars. It was a mixture of CM40-8M, SD40 & AC6000CW which I believe are scrapped with only a couple remaining i.e. SD40 & CM40-8M. Today with the double track and the all mighty SD70ACe they run 264 cars a 2 rake consist with more than 40,000 tons total weight. That should be the limit for 4 x SD70ACes can handle. Its a mammoth task just to get all that tonnage going on flat terrain. Long live the huge iron ore trains in the Pilbara!!!!
The AC6000s were all scrapped a few years ago, now it’s just SD70ACe. The 3 rake x 6 locomotives were abandoned because they were too unwieldy, nowadays it’s 2 rakes x 4 locomotives.
Back in early 1970's I lived in Port Hedland and saw the earlier, shorter versions of these trains. They used to be 3 engined and 155 wagons. This one has 4 or 6 engines (5 are operating as power cars - controlled by the drivers up the front).
My cousin drives one of these! He says the ones he drives are 3km long! Also he said he’s the youngest man ever to drive one of the biggest trains in the world
The longest and heaviest freight train ran as a test train on February 20, 1986, from Ekibastuz to the Urals was carried out with a coal train. The composition consisted of 439 wagons and several diesel locomotives distributed along the train. the total length of 6.5 kilometres (4.0 mi)
Not sure...but back in 1979 I worked for the company doing rail maintainance at Karratha. In my induction I was told I could never wear anything red to work....because if I was out on the line and a driver rounded a corner and saw red in the distance he would be force to throw the train into complete lockup. The friction during a full lockup stop would require 500 mtrs of track to need replacing. And back then train had 175 carriages... 250 on occasions out ot Tom Price.
Sir, I emailed you previously, and just wanted to touch base. I was hoping to use this footage for an internal onboarding video. Would this be alright?
Bullshit. Have you any idea where all the money comes from to support the WA state government. Not from the tax payer thats for sure. And why do you feel you have a right to benefit from someone elses hard work anyway....just because you were born. 🤦
*lol* - what a bullshit.... Around 3600 meters. The 7300 meter train was a unique affair, mainly for testing the functions of the radio-based Loco Control, and with that they also made a record run for the Guinness Book of Records.
Australia definitely looks like a good place to go railfanning. I mean that was pretty impressive
Railfan country? It's Russia, i think so
@@АлександрПошивалов-р9г what about india
@@АлександрПошивалов-р9г 90% of freight transport in Russia coming from railway 🤣🤣😂
As an American, I am vastly impressed of these trains. Especially when you guys are using our sd70ACe locos.
Some of Rio Tinto trains are now driverless.
I slept watching this .. woke up train was still running i slept again 😴😴
They are long trains😀
Cerca de donde vivo hay trenes de Hierro, Bauxita... son extremadamente largos pero es agradable verlos
Any nightmares of trains while asleep
Those trains are massive. The dumpers are also pretty impressive. As the train shunts through they pick up each car and tip it upside down to empyt the ore.
I'm planning a trip to Australia, just to watch trains! That was freakin' awesome!!
2x EMD SD70ACe/lcs + 133 Hoppers + 2x EMD SD70ACe/lcs + 133 Hoppers.

Funky_Koval 138

This train has the record (from 2001) of the heaviest train ever at 99,700 tonnes.
in pakistan they beat that record, in 2015 8 locomotives pulled 300, 000 tonnes of coal from Karachi to Islamaabad. This train is nothing lol
@@HaiderAli-ot2gg Nice, good to know; I imagine the full stop of that has to be miles.

You need to go to space to view the whole train at once
Big Indian brain 😁
someone make an infinite loop GIF from this pls
Great video, that last wagon must really feel late arriving at the station

I also live in south headland .bit hotter there but a great place to live
This Sound makes me tired, its like asmr. I love it!
In my city the train take more to pass. Because the train is very slow. This train is going at good speed. Imagine it at 10 kmh
👍
@@VicTilling 👍
😄
Must be quite funky waiting at crossings in western australia.
The train took 3 min 21 sec to go past me....
Very nice videos
My cousin drives one of these! He says the ones he drives are 3km long! Also he said he’s the youngest man ever to drive one of the biggest trains in the world
Biggest is close to 8 kilometres,heaviest was close to 100.000 tonnes with 8 locos,and strongest loco is electric,more than 10.000 hps.

Those ACes are cool
Great footage.
Nathan Murphy Thanks
Thought about modelling this but changed my mind! I would need a large field to accomplish it.
Wtf ... I was waiting for a whole view of the train at once , it should be better if it was filmed from the top
R.P.M. for Life the train is over 7km long, there no way you can film it from the “top” and get the whole train in frame -_-
U should look at chines wall ,itlooks similar from the space
Tak tady bych chtěl čekat na přejezdu 😂
I think this is the kind of train where you can have arrived before you left!
NOW I DONT HAVE ANY WORDS 😮
Alucinante!!
I heard BHP Billiton holds the record for the world's longest freight train. After watching this video I fully believe it.
Interestingly, during emergency braking, how many kilometers it will brake ...
Not sure...but back in 1979 I worked for the company doing rail maintainance at Karratha. In my induction I was told I could never wear anything red to work....because if I was out on the line and a driver rounded a corner and saw red in the distance he would be force to throw the train into complete lockup.

woah, full on EMD ACe Power! Awesome!
MichaelALineCSX Productions
Yes it was very impressive and the ground shock.
@@VicTilling The trucks were very quiet, smooth = welded joints in track?
Bruce Raggett Yes and heavy rail.
Were the Locomotives EMD SD70?
daniel taylor Yes
Wow, almost 4 minutes of nothing but train
The train was still in frame in 2x speed 🤣🤣🤣
Sir, I emailed you previously, and just wanted to touch base. I was hoping to use this footage for an internal onboarding video. Would this be alright?
The content of that thing is worth $5,250,000 assuming an iron ore price of $150 and weight of 35,000t
meu amigo baguio é grande memo
It must take centuries to offload
Someone's getting rich and it's not the Australian residents.

mind blowing
WHAT???
We both have same number of subs???
But I have 1700 views in total and you have 64K+ views just in one video?😂
achei que não ia acabar mais kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
334 wagon
Two freight trains combined in one
This train is my favorite l like it
275 km with that much wagons???.
This is words longest train i.e 7.5 km long
They look like American locomotives, hey?
How long is the train, does anyone know ??
7 km
roughly around 7532 meters i think? basically around 7-8km
7353 metres. That's 7.353km, just over 4 1/2 miles.
*lol* - what a bullshit....
Around 3600 meters.
The 7300 meter train was a unique affair, mainly for testing the functions of the radio-based Loco Control, and with that they also made a record run for the Guinness Book of Records.
I don't know what happen, I fall asleep when the train are half way, then I woke up the train still going.
Son Tung Le. They are very long trains!
Vic Tilling how many wagons those.
В тексте одно, на видео другое, хоть бы проверяли что размещают в сети.
500 wagons haul by 9 6000 hp Diesel Locomotive.

How much money was made selling that and how many tons
None.our government probably gave it away to china.
7.2 km long train. Just , b r u h
ouai il est absloument pas la grace a trash

sa fait 382 vagons, enfin je crois
地元政府よ、この地で植林活動を行って下さい‼️
Desert country no water
Supposedly its 7.4 km long!!!
This is not. It was 660 cars. This is just over 250.
211 cars!!
The last train. China stoh orders from Australia.
No all propaganda China only banned stuff they dont need to run their industry , they did run out of coal and had to unload the ships from Australia
7,3 km
Actually it is 3.6 km long 👍👍
Maybe the so called driver should have dumped the air as soon as the train moved , just what was he doing , would have save a whole lot trouble !
Trash avait raison, c'est un peux long :)
Well, if U gotta move some heavy shit overland, use trains. And, use a lot less shit.
Merci qui ? Merci trash (et pas Jacquie et Michel bande de Coquin)
Ici grace à Trash :)
😂😂😂😂 mo
Áudio muito ruim. Apague o vídeo!!
Quê isso Carlos ,o vídeo muito bom ,o barulho faz parte do som produzido pelos rodeiros deslisando sobre os trilhos na velocidade que o trem está!
Aqui no Brasil ,os trens da MRS e da Carajás produzem o mesmo som !,
Qui est là à cause de trash
The weight of the iron ore reflect from the wheel sounds of the goods train , remarkable weight. what a wonderful transportation . GREAT.
Awesome catch I catch CN iron ore trains in butler Pennsylvania and I also catch the B&P trains
Omg
Now that’s F?!kin Impressive
Port Hedland
Damn
