There are two sounds that I love to hear while railfanning: A. EMDs struggling up grade B. GEs doing speeds in excess of 70 mph on a hotshot intermodal train.
This is five years later.....in the month of October 2021 there have been at least three Amtrak accidents where people were killed ,l don't think they are going to be going high speed
CSX has no 6 axle locomotives geared for anything higher than 70MPH. They also have nowhere in their system that allows for freight or intermodal speed above 70. None of the class 1’s do. It’s all 70 Max
While very impressive, imagine the carnage if that damn thing comes off the rails at that speed....also notice there was no crossing arm's , l think if you are going to run at that speed all crossing should have crossing arm's

Oh, and steam engines are great, too.
Yes it's quite a sound. Be sure to check out my other videos there's many other 70 mph shots. Thanks for the comment.
Yeah, I come to your channel a lot to see 70 mph stuff. Great video and keep up the good work.
That stop sign going crazy over there
WOW THATS SOME REAL SPEED!!!!
if they ran amtraks like this, maybe no one would be complaining about them being late all the time lol

You can see the train making the stop sign sway back and forth. Must be very rural with only the crossbuck signs.
I was wondering if anyone else noticed that😉
Must be late for dinner.
Lol
0:17 scared me to death😂😂😂😂😂😂
Interesting to see a crossbuck upgraded with a stop sign
Another true 70 mph train awesome catch dude!
I think it’s going more like 75. That thing is flying
@@rcbrosproductions9129 the GE’s are limited to 70
@@TNandTXRailfan Nope, people say they are but they aren’t. I’ve radar’d a few going 74 and 75 before near me.
@@rcbrosproductions9129 bull shit it says it on celling in the cab on the inside speed 70 mph
@@TNandTXRailfan Are you an engineer? I’ve seen them with my eyes going higher than that. 75 on the radar. Not bullshit

The poor stop sign on the other side 😂
Remember hiw people say a tornado sounds like a train? Welp this is a good example
Look at the the stop sign
Jesus Christ this thing is moving I’ve never seen a train like that go so fast.
Freight trains only can go really fast on straight tracks only. Not curve track
Not true...watch the VR camera in La Plata, MO. Freighters pass by at these speeds and there are curves and crossovers.
Hey man. great catch. but I prefer to back away from the tracks a bit more if you don't mind
Nice 👏👏👏👏👏🤝💪🇺🇸🎉🎊🎇🎆⭐🤙⚡⚡⚡⚡
Omg that's fast
How were u able to get 2 different views of the same train if on the previous video, there was no one in front of that camera angle view?
Bookin' it.
What road is this?
Holy smokes
The horn was great on CSX 5391
Think that’s at least 75, that thing is flying!
That is what i meant....lol....they run it like they stole it!!!!
In India, we call it RoRo(Roll-on,Roll-of).
And to think, trains in my area do this speed constantly. Its 55 to 70
Me when my candy is here
Nice
Zoom 🏎️
I’ve seen passenger trains go that fast but not a freight train.
It went at 80 MPH
That not 80mph at all its would faster than that
No way it’s possible those GE’s top speed are 70 mph
they could actually
CSX has no 6 axle locomotives geared for anything higher than 70MPH. They also have nowhere in their system that allows for freight or intermodal speed above 70. None of the class 1’s do. It’s all 70 Max
This Was Actually At 60 MPH
DAYUM!

that crossing is probably used once every decade installing crossing gates there would be a waste of money
There's nothing but a crossbuck here
