We had a 110 car loaded grain train and a 215 car mixed manifest with mid-train and rear DPUs. It included an untagged GATX and UP box cars along with many different vintage cars of different types, a load of heavy plate steel and likely hazardous waste contaminated soil in covered gondolas. Great train, Red. Possibly the best of the day! 😄😄😄😄😄❤❤❤❤❤
2 eastbound trains, the first being a 203 car intermodal with a mid-train DPU and the second a 102 car mixed manifest. Both were great, fast trains. Great catches so far, Red! 😃😃😃😃❤❤❤❤
I applaud you for the spectacular video today, Red! You caught fabulous interesting and fast trains running through Montour. This video had nearly everything a person could want! The length and speed of the trains amazes me. I've yet to see anything close to these where I'm from in Indiana. That's one reason I adore your videos. I hope you and yours have a splendid weekend, and please be safe out there ! Please tell Walter and Roger I said hi, and we'll chat later. Thanks again! 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hello Red. A railway show of the fast freight trains from UP. A great video and excellently filmed. Thank you very much for the video and have a fantastic weekend, best wishes from Germany. Wolfgang
Great video Red . As you know we love that high speed action ( especially when you catch a meet ). Keep up the great camera work both ground and drone . 👍 Your fans in the Great White North 🇨🇦. Seen any of the new CPKC paint schemes yet . We like them a lot !
Another great video Red, and do you know if they ever welded those sections of track together were the coal train derail at but anyway, my friend you stay safe out there and watch your back and we’ll see you on the next one. And I bet you’ll be glad when they get that mess cleaned up in front of your camper. Lol
@timmyfrierson2684 Thanks Timmy! I think they recently welded that track. Yeah they cleaned up the pile of asphalt and left something else.Big Boy in Iowa next month👍
You had a busy day at Montour, Iowa on 4 August 2024 between railfanning and cutting the lawn, Red! That was a nice train meet that started at 5:28. It was good that you had the drone up and working so that you could catch the train meet. It was nice to see some CNW cars on a couple of the trains on this video.

@thomasmackowiak That was a crazy Day Thomas! This footage was hours before the coal train derailment near Quarry. I left Montour about 2 hours before the derailment.
What impressive video red great UP Train actions red and a train meet red nice train meet on the double stack/ auto rack and priority train in montour Iowa great meet 👍😊😊😊
@@redsiowatrainvideos6645 i was in Cedar Rapids/Marion on august 17th, i was surprised that the Cedar River goes right through the downtown area. My daughter says that when the river floods, they close off the downtown streets, etc. I sure didnt know the river got THAT high!
Great video as always Red. Saw the westbound empty coal train and three of the east bounds (UP 8968, UP 8027 and UP 7909 leading) in Ames the same morning.
Same reason we see CN units in Florida and Arizona, track rights and power sharing.........i live in central Illinois, and on occasion, i see units from all the big roads go through.
Hello Red fantastic fast trains and horn saluts Nice power. Great Drone shots 👍🏻😎 . Robin out .

@Diegoiowatrains Thanks Diego! Love the speed👍
An intermodal/auto rack with 6 locomotives meets an intermodal with a mid train DPU. Both long and fast. How cool 😎 is that? 😀😀😀😀😀❤❤❤❤❤
Holy sinkholes Red!, all those trains remind me of a song from the 1960s, "Do the Hustle!"
@@paulsmith5398 Fast day up to the derailment!

@PaulLeach-og9th Thanks Paul! Got the Big Boy coming through Montour soon👍
@@redsiowatrainvideos6645 Sadly Red I’ll be in Brazil when it’s scheduled to come across Iowa.
@@PaulLeach-og9th That sounds like an adventure. Maybe you can figure out some Brazilian railroading!
I think some crossovers could have 45mph limits if the patern is long enough 🤔
@@gerardmeadsr5419 50 mph speed limit at the Montour crossover.
I'm wondering what the line speed is if they don't take the crossovers 😊
@@gerardmeadsr5419 70 mph track speed limit at that location.
Why are we seeing a Norfolk Southern unit in Iowa?
@@randyhanlon4746 Track rights to Des Moines.
Same reason we see CN units in Florida and Arizona, track rights and power sharing.........i live in central Illinois, and on occasion, i see units from all the big roads go through.
