3 Train Meet at 70MPH - BNSF & UP
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 сен 2024
- Daggett, CA - On one early June morning, we happened to be in the right spot. It was interesting enough seeing a UP coal train swing onto the BNSF, but then a screamer of a stack train slammed past only to be met by another intermodal train of comparable speed. This is a preview of a video that will show more action that we saw here and elsewhere along the Transcon so stay tuned.

01:43....Geez...so much going on. Amazing.
That was a 1 in 100,000 chance of three train meet.
Kudos to the dispatcher!
Man I got whiplash from just watching this video! Awesome stuff!
Gives a new meaning to pigs flying
1:21 I love that sound and speed
Nice timing! Love those high priority TOFC trains. BNSF knows how to run a railroad.
Yeah, when they aren't working their employees to death to maximize their profits!
@@Cnw8701 Hell all failroads do that crap nowadays. PSR SUCKS!!!!!
Beautiful. It's a lovely sound when they fly by.
Both BNSF’s Throwing A Fit!
Imagine a drone shot of that...
I wish I had one then. We picked up a Mavic Air to take on our train adventures...maybe we'll get back here sometime.
-Cam
The fact the put actual semi trailer directly on the flat rail cars is still super bad ass to me.
I love how both BNSF Z trains sounded identical at the crossing.
I was caught by that too. They had about the same number of locomotives and were going about the same speed.
-Cam
railfan220 same horn as well. I hear it everyday
All I got to say is, that was WICKED!
Just...crazy. Love that speed.
Haha. Thanks for you comment! It was a lucky catch.
-Cam
2:08 is such a cool shot
What a rare moment! 3 trains at the same time and ended at the same time too (for the last 2 trains) and it's right in the frame! What a lucky guy you're :D
Beatiful velocity point 8 acceleration i love general electric locomotives
That is awesome i glad you stood still when that monster of a train was coming by you great job!!!!
Man love these high speed catches of trains! Thanks for sharing!
Terrific! I've never witnessed such a thing.
I must confess if we had big old freight trains like that here in the UK I would probably become a geeky train spotter
Haha, it's a disease.
-Cam
Fantastic catch!
This is the best railfaning video I had ever seen. The 2 internal hot shots was awesome. Awesome catch!!!!!
Talk about being in the right place at the right time! Thanks for sharing.
That's really awesome!! Must be a cool ride going that fast in one of those GEVOs.
That would be fun!
-Cam
maybe it would be fun for the first few times...but imagine doing it day after day, year after year...the same route...never having a schedule...hard work...24/7 etc etc...
I prefer the Dash 9's to GEVO's because it's a more visceral experience. Louder inside the cab with a deep sense of that V16 humming and chugging along. And the exhaust note is angry and raw sounding. Dash 9's are the muscle cars of today's railroad.
@@IanR1205 Very true, and the AC4400s have all of that plus screaming AC motors!
Great stuff! The images and motion are spectacular. Amazing catch, great use of the found sound. A+ rating.

Holy...the 2nd and 3rd train is like rocket 😂
Now THAT....is an official 3-way. Thanks for posting up a video in Daggett, by the way. I would've never even heard of it, had I not seen a few of you railfans post a video there. When I eventually hit a conference in Las Vegas, I already have a road trip to Daggett, CA on my radar. While I'm certainly not trying to hit every landmark on the Transcon, between Daggett, L.A., K.C.(and I've already hit Mazon, IL), that'd should be more than sufficient.
Oh yeah! Daggett is always a great show, and I've only been twice. It's only a few minutes east of Barstow (huge yard), and if you continue east on Route 66, it pretty much parallels all the way to Needles. That's pretty cool that you've been to those places. A Transcon bucket list would be awesome to check off.

@@railfan220 I finally got a chance to witness is November of 2019 (and Cajon Valley, CA). Definitely a railfan landmark.
One of a kind catch - great filming also!
Great video! That guy was FN HAULLIN'!!!
Woooooo Burlington Northern Santa Fe's blasting threw get em
Awesome video! Love the fast intermodals especially! Thank you.
i bet those people in their cars be like damn
Great catch thanks
That's awesome
2:10 beauty shot
That's crazy how both intermodals finished before the coal train, great high speed catches
The cars on the other side of the track, must have seen one train passing by. But there were three trains passing the crossroads.
LOL😎😎😎!!!
nice catch
Wow they were cookin !!! 👍👍👍❤️ Decided to subscribe. Thanks
Eastbound westbound Is very screaming Meeting By BNSF Hot shots
This video is the best I've seen.
I wish you had a drone for a nice aerial view of the action!
I know, that would be great. We finally got a drone for just that reason.
-Cam
nobody:
bnsf z trains: *GOTTA GO FAST*
Respect.... These guys sure know there job
Talk about a lot of rail action !!!
Thats true fast delivery right there.
Wow! That was a really great video!! 😁😁😃👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😁😄
That slow ass train, compared to those two fast ones 😂
1:25 Based
1:44 I know it’s the law but at this point do you need to blow the horn there is already 2 trains going across the track that clearly people see. Don’t get me wrong I like train horn shows but it confuses me.
That was pretty cool!
that's bad ass
Great video...bro
Third train is going maybe 70. The first COFC/TOFC train is going 55-60 tops.
you have to excuse the teenage hyperbolic bull shir
@@melperry3576 I don't mean to be annoying, but if you pull out a stopwatch, which granted isn't the most reliable or replicable method on RUclips, and time out 1 second on the first intermodal, about a locomotive and a half pass within that timespan. 70mph is 102' per second, and each of those locomotives is 73' and a few inches long. That math has just about 100' (+/- a couple of feet) of train passing within a second, which is right around 70mph. So I promise I'm not trying to be misleading or disingenuous with the title. I know it looks like click-bait, but even if it were 55-60mph, it would still be a cool video, right?
-Cam
...is what I should've responded with 7 months ago, haha.
Awesome camera work.
UNION PACIFIC COAL (MPH NOOB)
BNSF Z (MPH PRO)
NICE!!!!
Thanks!
-Cam
Amazing power
Wow !!
Triple train meet
US railroads haven't electrification in most places! It is very unusual for us in Ukraine because we have 70% electrified railroads. Thank you for the video!
It is a three for one deal!
third train seemed to be faster than others
Barstow a California railroad junction for Salt Lake Dallas and Chicago trains
Ouch. My head hurts.
I assume the slower train that was going left was going slow to allow the faster train going the same direction in the middle pass it?
I would assume so. It looks like it funnels back to 2 mainlines about 2 miles west (left) of this spot. So the coal train wouldn't have a green signal yet. Good question. I hadn't thought about that yet.
-Cam
WOW, how often does THAT happen!
2 train meet is rare
3 train meet is legendary
Two train meets happen quite frequently on the transcon.
Nice catch...
0:30 nice sound 1:15 nice sound but to caught
So Cool
Without knowing how these massive engine s are designed, I can't help think of the sheer force of gravity and how it effects the speed of the train. To see the second train accend uphill, then into a downgrade with all that weight. Does it excelerate and decelerate varibley with the terrain or is speed held at a constant? Something like cruise control does on select automobile s but on steroids!
That depends on how the train is made up. Lower priority “drag” freights like the coal train here usually have much less horsepower per ton than the real hotshot intermodal trains, which means they are spending most of their time in notch 8 (full power) at slow to medium speed with any variations determined by the terrain. The hotshots usually have a high enough horsepower per ton ratio to be able to maintain full “track speed” up and down hills. Once distributed power (additional locomotives at the middle or rear of a train) things get a little more complicated as the engineer needs to really feel the seat and keep the coupler slack forces in check as the train ascends and descends multiple gradients at once.
Very cool!!!
Thank you!
-Cam
Nice video. How far is this place away from LA?
Thanks! It's about 2 hours.
-Cam
How come you can't tell how fast they're going until they actually go by? Is that the camera doing that? It looks like they're going 15mph from 300ft down then pass by at 70
Neat catch I subbed ya
Playing this video at 2x speed and you will get illegal 140 mph train speeds!
looks like the UP train was limping along,,why because it was a empty coal train with no priority.
Funny how BNSF likes their K5HL’s but UP likes their K5LLA’s
1:28
W BNSF
by UP
Don't think the coal train was going 70 MPH look like it was slowing down to stop to let the intermodal train pass
You're right, it definitely wasn't. I don't mean to be misleading with the title, but I hope the description clarifies which trains were the fast ones. I just didn't want to say, "Two trains meet around 70MPH while another passes slower than that...". I had to think of a title that wasn't too disingenuous but one that also didn't take away from the coolness.
-Cam
This is Fucking Cool 😃
I concur.
-Cam
Los trains. De estado unidos
Thomas speed
I got so dizzy
Daggett?
It's a few miles east of Barstow.
BNSF is a wonderful railroad, their locomotives look beautiful. The locomotives for Union Pacific they look like crap. Union Pacific spends billions on share buybacks. I own railroad stocks so I'm a shareholder I'd rather have the money for new locomotives and track and ballast replacement than share buybacks.

Shhhh
Great catch!
Thanks for watching! There will be more from this day of rail fanning.
