    I hope that Amtrak pays BNSF railway for there service or them helping them out.

    Truly great railroad photography, particularly the sound! Some of the best I’ve seen.

    4:35 BNSF: How many times do we have to save your butt? Amtrak: Well, depending on what track you take, there's somehow always something on the tracks that either makes me go flying off, or causes me to break down. BNSF: Well, at least neither Norfolk Southern nor CSX or Metrolink or Union Pacific or CN have to do this. HLCX: Am I a joke to you!?

    Sweet collection of videos are you able to get video of the switching action in local freight yards. Sometimes you just cannot beat watching a train being built.
    Thanks for sharing.

    Wow look all those GEVOs! Burlington Northern & ....Santa Fe to the rescue. BNSF saves the day! Atchinson, Topeka, and Santa Fe pulls the Southwest Chief once again! Excellent catch!

      Hakeem Mulholland BNSF is the successor of Santa Fe and Burlington Northern railroad , so they worked together and made this company, just like the good ole' days of CSX and NS forming Conrail.

  • @e952ct
    @e952ct 8 лет назад +7

    I'm just curious as to how much more power the BSNF engine has vs. an Amtrak engine that it's presumable that one BNSF could pull 9 amtrak cars but it takes at least two Amtrak engines to pull the same amount of cars?

    • @kdabaviation5032
      @kdabaviation5032 8 лет назад

      e952ct They do the same with the Auto Train, 2 engines pulling 16 Superliners and over 20 auto rack cars, it doesn't really make sense.

    • @Eoan242

      e952ct the bnsf one has 4400hp i believe and the amtrak 4250hp

      But amtrak is actually faster than BNSF Tho.

    • @jamtuazon5216
      @jamtuazon5216 Месяц назад

      Amtrak's engines are designed for speed, to achieve a higher speed you'll have a smaller gear ratio, smaller gear ratios have better speed and fuel economy but lack the necessary torque/tractive effort to pull oversized loads, BNSF (as well as other freight carriers) locomotives are designed to have higher torque to achieve better starting tractive effort but this sacrifices on speed.

    Yeah, most of these trains including the Southwest Chief have a lot of engine problems, especially when climbing up mountains.

    • @apolloniaaskew9487
      @apolloniaaskew9487 3 года назад +2

      If the freight trains need more than two engines to go up the mountains, wouldn't it make sense to use three or more on passenger trains?

    • @kdabaviation5032
      @kdabaviation5032 8 лет назад

      Mr. AWESOME!!! Usually on a 2 track main, there is a north track on the right and south on the left, and same with east/west, east on the right, west on the left, it all depends on which way the train is heading. Or it's the other way around?

    @masovik4942 10 лет назад

    I'm confused (not unusual). If you've got two Southwest Chiefs within one hour, one must be either 23 hours behind, or 23 hours ahead, or one is 12 hours early, right? So thirteen hours behind schedule should be two Southwest Chiefs within eleven hours. And yes, I can see BNSF delaying an Amtrak train 23 hours.

      The first SWC departed Fullerton on time around 7pm, Second SWC was originally suppose to get into Fullerton around 6:50am, arrived at about 7:47pm.
