@@matthalo89 bro, I aint doubtin u, and I aint tryna be a kno it all, but prime movers, es44ac's can only get up to 70mph, notch 8. If u did see a prime mover (easier said than saying es44ac or sd70ace's) goin 80mph... welp. They just can't. Notch 8 is 70mph, and unless track is good, u shouldn't be doing more then 65mph.

@@WarriorMike20 Ok. Just telling you what I saw. It might’ve been around 75 then. We were going faster than what you’re suggesting and we matched the trains speed. Soooooooo I don’t know. 🤷🏼♂️
I remember while driving from Colo to Tahoe middle of the night by myself radio blaring I evidently was traveling next to a speeding train . He could see me in my Denali dash lights I guess . Suddenly he turned on lights gently hit horn . It was hysterical, we sped side by side for a long time . Then he cut into more hills . I’ve never forgotten that memory
Probably one of my all-time favorite train videos. I don't know how many times I've watched this, and yet it never gets old. Man, that thing was scootin'!
Havent seen a BNSF AC4400 in a very long time. One thing I love about the rural setting is the parallel highway and railroad. You bet you're going to see a high speed train!
Look, the deal here is that these locos are huge: over 10 1/2 feet wide and an easily over 16ft high, have about 4,400 hp and are heavy. They are nothing like you'd normally see outdid of North America, with the exception of parts of Australia and parts of Mexico.. The train is a double stacker which means that the top of the freight cars are around 20 feet high in places.. The train is most likely at least 100-120 cars long., and may have helper locos in the middle etc. The point being the comparing one of these huge freights running at at least 70-80 mph, is enormously impressive. I've seen sone Canadian "versions" running at 45-50mph, and let me tell you the sheer size and power if these enormous freights has to be seen to believed, especially when 130 odd huge cars pass by you is in a a class of its own. Here are cameramen have really caught something impressive,... sure they are not as fast as the far smaller and lighter European trains, but you are comparing apples to oranges.
Hi everybody! So far, this is the best video I saw as far as freight trains is concerned. This is the fastest freight train I ever saw on video. Not in real life. The motorman has an advantage on get away with putting throttle in high gear, because, this area is very flat and way less populated. Another advantage is the Physical Regions west of Texas is all of the Basin & Range Province, nearly all of the Great Plains, a little less than half is the Interior Lowlands, and way less of the Gulf Costal Plains. This means that there's less hazards of weather that he/she encounters. Whoever shot this video deserves an award and an opportunity to go to college with all finances paid to further his studies. Well good luck to this person who created this fun video and bring on many more videos for us audience to watch! Thank you.
Very good pacing video! I certainly enjoyed it. Crystal clear picture and considering that you're in a moving car that's going to bounce a bit here-and-there on the highway, you did a good job in holding the camera. Thanks for posting this and sharing :-)
They would go this fast through Aledo, TX all the time. Had a slight gradient. They would either be flying down the gradient in stealth mode, or engines roaring flying up the gradient.. Crazy long too. It was awesome :D
Interesting to see a ac44 lead a z train, since mostly c4 loco's lead these trains. Whats also strange is there are only 2 head end loco's (there are normally 4 to 6)
FYI: Almost all Northbound Container (Intermodal) trains running out of Texas, pass through Wichita, Kansas. When they get to Newton, Kansas, they are switched to go East of West. Newton, Kansas has a Wye, which is double tracked.
The Big Boy or Challenger go at a similar or slightly faster speed, but with 1500 or more horsepower, and they were just steam trains from back in the day? What would their modern diesel counterpart be?
@nikosjk1 it was blowing the horn constantly, over 6 minutes... do the crossing have some kind of magic apparatus that make you able to hear things FAR FAR FAR away?
Sheer power, at that speed, the momentum is such that fuelwise, it can't be eating that much diesel. That's the great thing about trains, once your up to speed on a level train the torque is off the chart. If someone were to go thru the gates and get smacked, there wouldn't be much car left recognizable, not to mention any victims. I saw the results of a car-truck collision just off a freeway exit. A woman, 8 months pregnant was turning left with the light on a freeway overpass. She had taken the exit of US 60 and saw the green arrow. A large truck going 90-100moh was trying to beat the light heading in the same direction when it hit that small Honda tearing it in half before driving over the two parts. The rear wheels and transmission was 30yards to the side, the car body looked nothing like a car. Seeing a long train flying makes me think of this horrible crash, there is no way to understand how much force is being created
Class 150s are known as Sprinters, with the 156 and 158 being the Super and Express varieties. The 150 was the first 'new' DMU to replace the 1960s era ones, and what some called 'Sprinterisation' was their replacement of all the old designs. It has become something of a colloquial term because it and so many trains used the Mk3 carriage bodyshell. Splitting hairs is part of being on the railway!
The truth of the matter is that not only is size impressive, so is the time that involved years of experimentation that antedated even the necessity of such a method as high-speed stacktrains or even piggyback service. As far back as the 1950s, experiments were being carried out over the New Mexican Desert to see if a locomotive could haul a string of flatcars piggybacked with truck trailers flat out over southwestern desert territory. Locomotives back then were not equipped for such severe service until some ten years later, when EMD and GE started building high-horsepower units with revolutionary at the time prime movers. Then a market needed to be created. The rest, they say, is history, with piggyback service evolving into stacktrains beginning and ending at various railheads.
@odin422: Passenger and freight are two entirely different things, running freights faster than 90 mph really isnt safe, way too many things to go wrong.
Impossible that you were passed by a manifest train if you were going 70. The fastest speed for mixed freight on BNSF and UP is 60 MPH. And that's only in some locations. Only Intermodal can run above 60 and even then it's 70 MPH max. No higher anywhere in the US for freight.

It’s amazing how powerful those Diesel engines are.
As much as I admired running the SD-40's......I have to admit these are some majestic mothers at this speed!

I've said it before: Getting 15,000 tons of train spread over 1 and a half miles to go 50 mph is far more impressive than a TGV going 200 mph.
and listen to those traction motors sing
europeans are made for speed
north americans are made to pull
I would agree with that .... -:)
Actually, the top speed for a BR Class 66 made by EMD goes at a top speed of around 75MPH. About the same speed as these american ones.
That iron horse is chugging! Impressive something so heavy is so fast!

And he's probably pulling at least a mile of freight behind him. Amazing!
I really enjoyed this video, thanks for posting
EMD 2 stroke engines are simple, sturdy, dependable, powerful, nonsmoking, and sound like a violin.
The best locomotive ever made in history.
thats a GE
Thank-you for the video ! It makes my life easier ! ! !
Awesome video, love seeing them stretching their legs like this wish I could see them do speeds like this near me. Great pacing too!
Amazing that rails on the ground that are about as wide as a car can hold something as long and fast as a train.
That sound you here is the train saying.............................GET THE FK OUT OF MY WAY......................NOOWWWW !

but amazing video here! like it!
Awesome videos and trains !. Subbed :)
Beautifully FAST, how all American trains should be. Thanks for sharing.
It’s so fast it gets to the crossing before the whistle sound does!
that's because the horn isn't on the front of the train it's in the middle.
Locomotives then diesels, but one thing remains the same - fine American railroading.
Fantastic----great video!

Great video! Can't do any pacing in Michigan. Not many roads that run along the tracks here.

awesome chase enjoyed
Love It I have some chase scenes but noting like this bravo.
i recall first time i saw war bonnets running across flat rural plains in southwest--fast, very fast!
wish we could have the whole train. all I saw was the lead and second unti
Great vid! Thanks. Always better when you've got a highway paralleling the tracks. How fast were you going? My guess is 50-60 m.p.h.
I bet 70 mph.
65-70
That was EXCELLANT!

LEEEERROOOOOYYYYYY
JEENNNKIINNNSSS
Considering how much mass it has to pull these engines are pretty fuel efficient with how much fuel they use vs the productivity
How many mp/h was this ca. ?
did you record two different trains?, i mean in the first seconds the two locomotives are looking foward, but then, one is looking backwards
Yes ,high speed engine's is 5688 and 4391
Yes,,high speed trains engines (locos )is 5688 and 4391
sleek looking trains
As soon as the train in the video starting blowing its horn, I heard a train using the same sequence outside my window lol
Dash dash dot dash is the standard horn sequence as a train approaches any road crossing.
Been nice to see how fast it was going by showing your speedometer in your car. Looked like around 65 or 70 m.p.h.
Legal reasons ifykyk
Nice horn on the lead locomotive.
