Great video! Finally nice to find a real photographer who knows framing, perspective, lighting and no constant panning & zooming! You should give lessons to most of the uploaders here!! Thanks for showing how it is done the right way.
BRAVO! Great video and great Mojave desert! Very good job and most of all no annoying music! I like it when I hear the sounds of the train, ship, airplane etc. If I want to listen to the music I go to a music channel. Thank you so much!
Have been away from your vids awhile - glad I watched this one. 3rd train's entry was spectacular; shave & hair cut always fun; ballast level clip was killer! You still have the touch. . . . Diana
Beautiful beautiful country my mother was born and raised in California has been there countless times but I’ve never been I can’t wait to go visit it in one of the first places I would love to visit is the Tehachapi loop as well is this! I’ll bet it’s nothing but hot hot hot hot out there!! 😬😬😬😮😮
Great excellent video, mr Trains 232. Think that you use a very good 📷 with a fullframe. Strong lenses with a high standard. And you have a good places to filming and catch the trains there in the Mojave California. Good to see for my own trip through the U.S.A. with my girlfriend. 🚆🚆🚆🚆👍👍👌👌🆗. Greet from Zandvoort the Netherlands.
T232, awesome video. I really enjoy how you let the train come to you. The unrestricted visibility and line of sight you get out west is amazing. At about the 17 min and 24 min mark I saw CSX power, I wondered if they made it that far out west. Occasionally I see BNSF power come through Georgia. Nice work.
Neat military catch! I'm making a guess here that it was EB if in early May. If so that would mean it was the 3rd Armored Brigade Combat Team from 1st Armored Division. They had just completed a training rotation at the National Training Center @ Ft Irwin, CA & were heading back to Ft Bliss, TX.
Very good videos. I have to freeze here at 3:08, just to compare the real locomotive with a "not ready for prime" locomotive. It seems that most passenger units are designed to look like an "inter-urban transit." Nothing noteworthy. Really good video work.
The wide open landscape of the USA . Just love it .What is the average speed of these freight trains and if they have a breakdown how long will it take for a relief loco to arrive . Beautiful video and I like the helpers too .In India they are called bankers .Thank you from Australia by way of India .
Unless something goes wrong, all of the engines are moving the train. All are controlled from the lead engine, even those that may be in the middle of the train or at the rear.
Depends on horsepower/ton needs. Mechanical department and/or dispatch generally decide how many of the locomotives in the consist are needed to be online. The ones that aren't needed generally have the prime movers idling but aren't supplying power to the drive wheels.
Holy f***, that's a long train 27:00, In my country the longest trains are like 1500 feet long, what's the longest train in regular service in the States?
Question for ya..... At roughly 11:41 to perhaps 12:03 of this video..... Where are you located. Sarah and I are planning a return to the area in mid-November, and since we can't get as far into Cajon Pass areas because of the fire, I'd like to hit some good areas in the Mojave Desert. Also, you remember when in May you filmed this. We were in the pass in the middle of May. Might have been about the same time.
Okay, someone help out this dummy,.here where it's flat, I never see locomotives in the middle or end of the train? also, why is he whistle blown in the middle of the dessert when there is no apparent crossing? Just asking...
Trains232, love your videos, but I have a question for you. There is what appears to be a grave yard of old train engines in Arizona at this lat/lon (31°57'58.3"N 110°31'57.4"W) ( vimeo.com/156998418) and I wonder if you could identify what model of engines they have there. Do you know about this place?
Thanks for the reply ... there appear to be quite a few engines there, perhaps a hundred, and I'd never known of the place until today. Do you know if any of these engines would have been taken out of service early due to the tougher emissions standards that came into effect in 2005? I gotta visit this place some day...

Never have been out in the desert to photograph trains. Thanks for the visions!

Glad you enjoyed, thanks.
Recently stayed at motels in both Flagstaff and Barstow. I heard BNSF trains all night, but they're lullabyes to me.
Grew up next BC rail line in west van love trains thanks for great videos
Magnificent scenery with awesome train catches!
BRAVO! Great video and great Mojave desert! Very good job and most of all no annoying music! I like it when I hear the sounds of the train, ship, airplane etc. If I want to listen to the music I go to a music channel. Thank you so much!
The first scene with the Amtrak looked worthy of a post card the entire time. This is magical.
Yes, the perspective on the shot at 11:50 is brilliant. Excellent idea to keep the sound going as it heads off into the distance too.
Awesome view location. Thank you for your time spent making the vidieo
the scenery there is incredible!
Best video like modeltrains and good sound although of my deafness. Nice greetings from Germany
wow-what a beautiful scenario
Extra ordinary shots.
Thank you

I tried driving around the zig zag area near Siberia Ca and that was some rough country. Awesome videos.
Excellent video!

I Appreciate it! Thanks.
It was nice to see mid-train helpers at 14:18. as not so many are on these coming out of California. That's just the way it seems.
Jaw-dropping video!!!!!
awesome train video
Nice, that next to last train made a noise that sounded like, meow, meow,meow.
helmitpeak Yeah it did.
Wow! Freight trains don't go that fast here, in the North East. I would love to have been there.
npo64 I think the top speed I have seen in Western Massachusetts, was about 40mph.
Dead in tow or not... the consist on that last train was just sick. Great catch.
Hey robert long time no talk man! Hope all is well! Great videos from the mojave desert man, definitely top notch stuff! Keep the great clips coming!
That train at 17:00 is really moving, I have never seen trains go that fast.
Charlie Gordon yes that train was really moving albeit a short train with less load .
My uncle in India was an engineer on the Alco and EMD locos and his name was Rodney Gordon .
Extraordinario video,su pais me deja asombrado por el sistem ferroviario.Amo el ferrocarril
I recognize the curves at Klondike and Ludlow, and I'm wondering where the other locations are.
Neat military catch! I'm making a guess here that it was EB if in early May. If so that would mean it was the 3rd Armored Brigade Combat Team from 1st Armored Division. They had just completed a training rotation at the National Training Center @ Ft Irwin, CA & were heading back to Ft Bliss, TX.

Really good video work.
This is one spectacular video. Why are they blowing their horns when they come around that 1st curve ?
some of these are hell of a length.....
Was that a SD 40b on the last train. Sweet. 😁 I don't see many of those B engines around.

Sou eu que tenho imenso prazer em agradecê-lo.Obrigado.
That intermodal train was moving. Maybe the CSX engine added a little umphh. (I grew up 200 feet away from a CSX mainline so I'm biased lol.)
fantastic,super!
18:50 ... What are those flaps on the bottom of the trailers? Wind resistors?
Is it usual for Amtrak to be led a BNSF engine coming through there?
sometime i see 5 or 6 engines in a train . . is it fact that each and every engines are pulling the rest .
Unless something goes wrong, all of the engines are moving the train. All are controlled from the lead engine, even those that may be in the middle of the train or at the rear.
Depends on horsepower/ton needs.
Mechanical department and/or dispatch generally decide how many of the locomotives in the consist are needed to be online.
The ones that aren't needed generally have the prime movers idling but aren't supplying power to the drive wheels.
Where were you?
Why did a BNSF lead the Southwest Chief at the beginning?
CameraManRailFan Cuz the SW Cheif is supposed to have 2x P42's AMTK didn't have one so AMTK borrowed a BNSF Loco
I know but where was the second P42 locomotive
AMTK didn't have one so they used bnsf power
It's possible that the second one had issues and they dropped it somewhere. I've seen that happen
Man! great catches, especially Unit-B, BNSF #345 ( 31:13 ).
And how much was the temperature that day?
Holy f***, that's a long train 27:00, In my country the longest trains are like 1500 feet long, what's the longest train in regular service in the States?
ruston1200 About 4500 Feet
Been on trains 12k feet
And those train was in regular service? Not one of event?
ruston1200 yep......Transcon
Impressing, Thanks!

Work that area bck n late 70's..hot..hot..hot.
Was this near Needles?
0:42, 17:00 Where are those places located?
Okay, someone help out this dummy,.here where it's flat, I never see locomotives in the middle or end of the train? also, why is he whistle blown in the middle of the dessert when there is no apparent crossing? Just asking...
Looks like 2 white signs on the right of the screen and the trains usually sound when they approach them.
Stu Wright the locos in the middle and at the end are called helpers to ease drawbar pull when the train is negotiating gradients .
another trainload of vehicles heading to the middle east and north korea...
because 'MURICA!!!!

Do you know about this place?
Yes, many older engines that just aren't needed right now.. Many are SD60M, C40-8W and C44-9W.
Thanks for the reply ... there appear to be quite a few engines there, perhaps a hundred, and I'd never known of the place until today. Do you know if any of these engines would have been taken out of service early due to the tougher emissions standards that came into effect in 2005? I gotta visit this place some day...
