BNSF Z train Flying Past Modesto

- Holdin' on for dear life as winds gusts up to 45MPH knocking off hats and making it hard to stand also kicking dirt in your face. The Modesto Hurricane-Z causes these winds with it's highly non-aerodynamic trailers.
I loved the audio on this one Good Work
If that train is going 75mph, it is breaking the speed limit. That's Class 4 welded rail and the top speed for an intermodal is 69mph
That's a class 1 railroad (no such thing as class 4) and who ever said speed limit was 69? I've seen one go 75 before (was driving at 70 and couldn't keep up with it).
@@trainzguy2472 ...then it was overspeeding.
Don't go hatin' on BNSF and the engineer for flying on that track, Congratulate him for doing a wonderful job!
@Trainzguy2472 You better do your homework before you spout off in the comments section of railroad-related posts here on RUclips

@@radanju3 Come on now, overspeed on freights are prototypical and legal on high speed mainlines! Let'em roll
I counted 16 trailers 53’ in length, passing at over a period of 10 seconds. Figuring the distance between the cars, 960 feet of train passed in 10 seconds, or 96 feet per second. Converting that to MPH, that works out to 65.45 mph, which sounds about right.

@@mrtom-a-hawk6732I must have accidentally stayed awake in high school algebra.
I don’t know anything about trains, but got curious and figured the train was going 75.6 miles per hour. What do you think ??? See my calculations below..........
All-Purpose double-stack well cars are seventy-six feet and nine and a quarter inches long, or 76.7708333333333333 feet long.
Thirteen equal length cars passed my mark from 0:15 seconds through 0:24 seconds, or thirteen cars in nine seconds.
That’s thirteen cars at 76.7708333333333333 feet each or 998.0208333333333 feet passed in nine seconds, or 110.8912037037037 feet passed in one second.
110.8912037037037 feet per second is 75.60763888888889 miles per hour.
What about small distance between two cabooses/trailers
I think 68 mph because of this
I've caught 2 Z trains within 1 hour and my hat has never been blown off.
everyone said it doesnt look like its going fast trust u me its moving that fast just when u zoom down the track and it looks like its bearly mvoing til its on top of you then you see how fast it is really moving

Cool video.. I run trains at bnsf.. Fresno to Richmond right where your at.. Max speed is 70mph 😉
Some freight trains do max out at 75 though
@@jayasmrmore3687 not anymore, only trains that ran that fast were the BNSF reefer trains which are no more
@@The747Avgeek how long ago did those go out of service
@@jayasmrmore3687 it's been about almost a decade
I'd say that is about 55... mabye 60MPH
Agreed
Ye probably 60
Got to be 70 FEC 101 here on the FEC doesn't even go as fast as this
Whatever that’s some serious power moving that weight at that speed.
I think that train is probably going in 65mph I guess? 🤔
About 60. You’ll know when it’s going 75 because it will knock you over besides top speed is around 70
60?! No way. That’s 70-75.
There’s no way that’s 60. The track speed for intermodals around me is 60 and this looks faster.
@@Major_Tom98 Exactly this is around 70.
@@paulspomer16 no it's around 60.
@@Philios2Glory1 Nope. Sorry but this is faster, watch my video on my channel from a couple days ago of a BNSF intermodal going though Diamond Bluff, WI. THAT is 60.
Wow he was flying low. 👍
How do you know it's going that fast? Did you have a radar gun?
It doesn’t look like it’s going that fast.🤔

@@jacksak A double stack well container flat is 53 feet long, not 76. I think you better do your math again and give us a new speed again for this train...lol
@@railfaninpfNot 53' -- The Greenbrier Companies manufacture North American all-Purpose double-stack well cars at 76'-9 1/4" outside length over couplers. I measured the same cars from the front of one car to the front of the next car at 76'-9 1/4". See the specs at: www.gbrx.com/manufacturing/north-america-rail/intermodal-units/53-all-purpose-double-stack-car/ (hahahaha)
@@railfaninpf PS: using your length of 53 feet (which I still don't agree with - see my other reply), the train would be going 52.2 miles per hour by my math calculations. Tell me what you think about The Greenbrier Companies (see my previous comment).
@@jacksak When you did your math again, your calculations came out much closer. I think the train is going between 55 and 60
not 75, check your timetable
CP railroad has had trains go 75 mph and how would this guy know this is a Z train does he work for RemPrex or another company that runs a shipping yard
That train is cruising between 55-60 right there. 70 is the maximum speed allowed for intermodal trains.

@@jacksak yes I would say 70-75 mph is accurate, these trains usually max out between 70 and 75
@@jayasmrmore3687 Thanks. Some people disagreed with me by saying my measurements on the well-cars was wrong. But, I carefully researched and found the manufacturer of those cars and am convinced they are the same ones used here.
@@jacksak yes I think you may be slightly off but you are close. Maybe on a slight downhill they can go slightly past 75
@@jacksak This train is made up of multiple brands and styles of well cars. I saw singles, triples and 5 bangers as well as spine cars. So your math using the idea that these cars are all 76' long is terribly flawed.
Butt kicking Z. Nice vid.
Everybody says a tornado sounds like a freight train and a freight train sounds like a tornado but they're all wrong neither sound like neither they only sound like space freaking shuttle at blast off
Great video!! But I will say that this train is going in 65mph!
60+mph
What? I thought the max speed for those engine are 70mph?! I dont think the speed is 75mph
The speed is 70 MPH. That is the fastest speed currently allowed for any freight train in the US by any railroad operating rules.
@@FFred-us9tw Yes that was I said, this train wasn't travel at 75mph, definitely
@@FFred-us9tw wow😱 how comes your everywhere?!
Who cares who was right or wrong!? The train is going fast! If there are any RR engineers watching, maybe they can clarify how fast they go.
Speed here is 70MPH, So it's not going any faster than that.
That is not 75 MPH.
Lower than 75

Definitely pre-Trump. Not even 100 cars and only three engines--on a Z.
Nice shot, but my guess is it was doing more like 45 to 50...
That's not 75mph. lolol buy a radar gun and target the speed and video it more like 45 through a station

Their is no speed restriction going through this station. The speed here is 70MPH. Amtrak runs through stations in MA and RI at 150MPH without stopping. While some towns have speed restrictions through towns to protect stupid people, their is no federal law that says trains have to slow down through stations. Their are dozens of stations where freight trains regularly pass right through at 70MPH.
@@FFred-us9tw Yes, and I still think my measurement of 75.6-MPH is correct (see my calculations). regardless of what others think. Also, no one ever responded to my citing the length of those general purpose double stacked well cars manufactured by The Greenbrier Companies which I used in my calculations. www.gbrx.com/manufacturing/north-america-rail/intermodal-units/53-all-purpose-double-stack-car/
@@jacksak Nobody mentioned those cars because the train is not made up entirely of them. Their are single well cars, 3 unit well cars, 5 unit well cars and then you have different styles and brands (Gunderson, Greenbriar, Trinity, etc) of these cars. Their are variances in the dimensions. So it's not an accurate measurement of speed. This train also had spine cars. In the first few seconds of it passing i saw 4 different styles of well cars.
@@FFred-us9tw Okay, thanks. But, what I did was take a string of contiguous equal length cars passing an exact point over a specific time period. Each car was exactly the same type. So, what's left is what you said about different manufacturer's making different length cars for the same type car. Nevertheless, the 75.6-MPH I got seems to be in line with your thinking.
It looks more like 95 mph, maybe 100.
John Howard No freight train in America is able to exceed 70 MPH.
@@anthonycedar7 bnsf can go 75mph duh
I feel ya John!
@@anthonycedar7 They can and are capable as powerful as they are! An UP recruiter told me way back in 02' that these EMDs & GEs have a top speed of 200 mph, but their all governered to about 70 - 80mph.
BNSFFREIGHTTRAIN1980 On the BNSF System, the top speed for intermodals is 70 MPH. That is also an FRA rule.
