This is my favorite of your postings. I have been a train spotter since M&D gave me a toy train set for Christmas '65. I am now 61 and still love them, especially the whine of high speed trains. I haven't seen any of you videos lately. Praying that you are doing well.
I sure enjoyed the show and you were just as entertaining. Glad to see others get excited as the mamoth beast blast past and break neck speeds. Thanks for the share,Eric!
I saw a train up close for the first time on December 11th, 2020. Me, my dad, and my brother had walked from 4th Street all the way to the house where my mother grew up. We were going back to 4th Street after we crossed the tracks, a train was cruising down the tracks. We stood about 10 feet from it and the ground was rumbling. I've always loved trains, and steam engine locomotives have always been my favorite.
That sure is a lot of fun to run that fast. It’s a cool ride and then you catch a dog on the way back home. 33 years 3 months and 13 days. I was and am blessed to have had that job. Hiball y friends.
Back in the early 90's, if I recall, Santa Fe would run fast freights 79 MPH before Christmas. Since locomotives have event recorders, the engineer doesn't dare exceed speed limit. I used to go to Dallas City, Il to watch trains go through town doing 70 MPH.
@@polyrhythmia : Way back in the day AT&SF wanted to run flat out across Kansas all the way to Raton Pass in southern Colorado. The eastbound train could easily maintain speeds in access of 80 mph + as the terrain was downhill and with the prevailing winds. Westbound trains struggled to keep 65 mph - which is impressive, but not what the railroad was after as they wanted to cut the time from Chicago to LA.
Those road units have an overspeed which is a safety device that engages the brakes if the train exceeds 73-74 mph, before the interior cab cameras were installed engineers used to disable the safety device so that they could exceed that speed, its a federal violation but some employees rolled the dice,.and didi it anyway!!!
Holly that thing is Hauling the Bass 👀 Fast i like seeing the Trains roll a little slower I got a couple train videos we're the DPU slowly glides by... Great Video Allen D RDA N Scale
I've never seen 4 locos in a row before! I'm surprised they didn't put one in the middle or at the end. They woke up and chose speed though! That things going faster than a lot of US passenger trains!
They definitely got the good foot down!! First time I've seen one of vids captioned "75 mph" when it's actually Doin damn near 80 mph!!! That was cool as hell!!!!
@@Prolificposter These Yt guys love to title everything 70 mph.A train like that actually going 70, as close as he was, would make that guy drop his camera and wet his pants.
Eric, the UP line from Kansas City to El Paso is so insanely fast through eastern New Mexico, you'd absolutely shytte yourself. Well faster than your 60mph choo choo. Probably in the 74~75 mph range. The doppler of the UP whistles is nearly shocking: very high pitched whine to a dull droan.
70 mph means 112 km/h. Wow... As I know, there is no such a long and fast freight train in Europe. For example, in my country (Hungary) the longest train runs with 800 m. Great video!
@@truckingwithwim8039 a lot of them, at least for Norfolk southern average 1.5 miles to 2 miles, with some that get up to 2.5 miles or even longer, there’s been two times where I’ve seen trains over 250 cars with only 3 locomotives on both
@@wompwompwomp4579 intemodal is lite weight compared to most other types of rail freight. Each TOFC is only 45000 lbs cargo + trailer and car. The COFC is up to 45000 lbs per box and the 20ft boxes up to 53000 lbs avg. heaviest on bottom. + car weight. The cars are about 60 ft long between the centerline of the wheels. So a 2.5 mile long train is 14550 ft ÷ 60 =240 cars. Thats alot of freight. Each box is a truck load.
We use to past these trains going 60 miles per hour back in the 1980s when the speed limit was 55. So I assume that they could only do 40 mph top. This was outside houston texas.
I occasionally hop freight trains and rode through there the first part of November at night, the Z-trains on the Transcon definitely haul butt. The only thing more exciting than standing a few feet away as they blast by is actually being aboard;) Thanks for posting.
About a 9.8 on the old excitement scale there buddy. Glad to see you're having fun, just be careful around those damn things. Don't want to see anything bad happen to you.
Love this guy's reaction. The kid will never leave us lover of trains
U should have seen me when I got my radio scanner. Felt like a kid on christmas!
I would react the same way.

what a beautiful sound of the engine when it goes at that speed it is a great video eric I hope you do more like this, greetings very good video !!
Thank you Scott I appreciate your feedback about this video I will try and do more of these videos when i can
@@ericcoil9655, please do. Finally, somebody understands! Lol.
Great video! We share your excitement - nothing like a fast freight train to start the morning!
The engines screaming like no tomorrow ..... this thing MOVES
this has so much force that i could summon a portal straight to hell
He ain't just a shittin that train was moving. When I worked for Renzenberger transporting crews I usd to love watching them fly by.
Love the sounds that train made as it was flying by !
That thing was moving!
Notch 8 @ track speed baby they gettin there on time haha 😂
Lol
@ 1:14, trailer with reefer control door open goes wizzing past.
...i seen it too...
A co worker of mine just sent me this. Hahahaha. I love seeing you guys happy. At least someone enjoys our jobs because it sure ain’t us anymore.

Not just the KCS engines I find most assuming. I find the speed of that train super impressive HOLY COW. This is the railroad I dream of working for.
His expression adds it all
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING to see it running that FAST!

The definition of a hot shot.
Cheers me up everytime I watch this! 😊 Many Thanks 😊💖
Great video! Love the speed and the sound of the train.
How good was that!! Bloody awesome; thank you SO much for sharing that! Loved it.
wow, what a sound
Nice catch! That thing was pushing through!
Whew that is some speed for freight!
I wish I was standing in your spot right now
I love trains with SPEED
Eric, if there were words. You get me!
Yes sir, good clip, I've watched it six times now
I want someone to get as excited about me as this guy does this train

All this video needs is the runaway theme and boom you got a perfect video
What a train! It's going as fast as over 100 mph! This is wonderful! Great shot!
Not quite that fast I don’t think they can go over 80
@@bnsfrailway1381 You sure?
@@4funJust4you Yes, they’re limited to 70 MPH. They go any faster the train automatically slows down.
70+ mph for sure with this - doing Super "C" speed!
I got excited seeing this thing approaching
i love the sound of the wheels singing
My man was excited!!
Nice catch! I miss the days when the good old Southern Pacific would move trains so fast that they could have flown if they had wings.
That’s a BNSF Z9 probably doing max authorized speed which is “70 MPH”
Agreed. I think the locomotives are governed to 70 mph. I don’t think the engineer had them wound out that fast, but it’s definitely impressive.
Yep. I clocked a couple of those 3-unit wellcars (204' over couplers according to Gunderson) and it looks to be doing 103 ft/s, or 70 mph, dead on.

Thats the fastest I've ever seen Kansas city southern locomotives move 😂😂
...this is what happens when ya put 'em on BNSF... ... ...they go FASTER than they EVER gone before...
It look slow until it passed O_o that was a fast one wow !
If anything goes wrong at that speed it's called, 'CATASTROPHY!'
Lol
Thats awesome! Would love to see that in person.
Great video Eric

Hold MY diesel fuel

Maximum BNSF system-wide freight speed is 70 mph. One thing that motivated me to buy a speed gun is all these RUclips videos with titles like this.
@@Prolificposter you bought a speed gun to call people out on you tube?
You just redefined the word "sad" !!!!
Over speed puts the train into a penalty brake application if it exceeds 72mph

Here in Czechia exists cargo trains capable of running 120 km/h (Metrans) but actually running over 100 km/h is considered as needlessly expensive.
American freight trains are absolute powerhouses
Hope they're keeping up on maintenance
Love the reaction

Absolutely fantastic I would love to see it for real
Cool video!
WOW! He was haulin!
Awesome job and dang that train is flying
Grew up next to a KCS yard
I’m assuming they’re a rare site to everyone else
Jesus that thing was smokin’.
Big 'N Scary-Fast = BNSF. Get it? Lol it actually stands for Burlington Northern and Santa Fe
You have not lived a proper life until a train flies by you close, throttle fully open like this.
I was stopped at the tracks by one, even 20+ feet away from it was terrifying it must have been going 70+mph
Things youtube brings up. l'm not really a rail fan but yey that choo-choo sure was impressive.
The RUclips rabbit hole strikes again haha!!
Well if you'd like try and look up steam locomotive restorations I have to say restoring history like that is satisfying to see
not Elwood .it's just west of Lorenzo rd. off I-55 Was there sunday great pace to see some highballin !!!!! I believe it's Diamond il.
It's between Elwood and coal city on Murphy road but ya not sure exactly city name but close enough
That train is really going really fast

Moving our economy for 170 years. BNSF the engine that connects us
I'd be afraid to be that close. :) Looks like he was hit by the bow wave of the lead locomotive. That was really neat, though!
Not that close.
so much moment there. all those cargo cars at 70mph. man those engines had to work hard to get all this up to that speed
Nice fast catch.
God damn what a rush
GREAT CATCH!!!!!!!!
Holy s-it, that's phenomenal.
Is this near Wilmington, IL?
It's near coal city IL on the BNSF Chillicothe Sub
I always thought a "hotshot" was someone hauling stuff with a one ton pickup and a gooseneck trailer.
Good clip thanks
