Lol guess people should go get building the Rio Grande Plan because the people want it. Cannot wait to see the video on it.

One of my best vacations we visited my buddy who was an engineer for the Deseret and Western I got to do a ride along on this train. At that time it only had two locomotives what a ride I even got to sit in the drivers seat. We left the mine in the early morning and took it to the power plant where they. Rotated all the cars to dump them then we returned to the mine to reload for the next day. Like I said earlier it was some of the most fun I ever did on a vacation. Sad to say my buddy passed away this past spring and we miss him a little side note I was told that the environmental protesters in Colorado fought to keep the power plant out of the state but Utah said build it here and that is the reason for the train so now the smoke from the power station goes up the stack and drifts over to Colorado…

this is really cool

Beautiful shots! What was going on with that last shot of the CZ in Provo? Why was it on the wrong track?

Good vibes and great footage!

thanks man! I love UTA, but man i just wish they were so much better!

Nice!

Beautifully shot

This lokey fire af 🔥

Your video is very good for me

nice locos. they look a bit like they may have been made in russia

30 minutes early is sad to the hour early zephyr i saw in March

cool

This is what we need widespread in America

Smoke coming from the front truck on the first loco looks like a brake or traction motor problem.

I was expecting the train to be a lot longer.

to think, we could have had electric traction like this all across the country.

What if I don’t want to go gambling?

didnt know they had this

I actually do like the Rio Grande Plan. But we'll look into it more in the next video! Alongside a bunch of other transit projects for 2034

LMAOOO

Great footage. Love it.

Oh my goodness! I got the BM&LP mixed up with the DP railroad years ago! I had no idea there was still a large electric freight train here!! I've driven by the railroad thinking that it had just recently shut down!! Im so happy to know this now!! Haha Hopefully I can get to see this awesome railroad, before it gets shut down too.

Outstanding video, and it's so refreshing to see a graffiti free train.

Nicely done. I spent some time watching the Black Mesa and Lake Powel years back. It'd nice to see e60's doing their thing in the desert.

Europe and russia has been using electric trains since the early 1900s, It does make sense, Especially without needing batteries....

Wonderful video!! I'm a juice jack fan from way back (Black Mesa & Lake Powell and the Milwaukee road! Agan, great job!! THANKS MUCH

Such an interesting railroad. When I saw images of that railroad for the first time, it directly got onto my bucket list. For me as a European it’s interesting to see how somebody who probably isn’t used to make photos of trains powered by overhead wires deal with that photographic “problem”.

Excellent video, stills, editing, and even music on a great topic - kudos!

Got a laugh seeing an EOT on the end. There's no other train to worry about. No blocks or signals. But they still need to monitor air pressure.

This is absolutely the coolest thing I’ve ever seen. I must go in person

A very cool looking train

Im honestly shocked... in my country were electrifying often times even the most local of locaal tracks with lenghts not even 30km... main lines are all besides one that wasnt renovated since fascist regime fully electrified... i never knew its that bad in the us

This looks identical to the one that they tore down between The Navajo Power Station in Page, Arizona and Kayenta Arizona. Used to see it in operation. They demolished the power station and no more need for coal trains. Look like the exact same trains. Great Video.

Electric FREIGHT train in the US...That's a new thing I saw this morning. Very good to see that. Is this a line new or what? Here in India we have 93-96% of our HUGE network electrified with double-stack container trains running on separate corridors. We are aiming for 100% electrification. Altough our trains are not as flashy as Europeans or Americans but...yeah the government is putting a lot of money into our railways.

That music after 6:45, I like it!

Diesel electric hybrids would be the best solution for mixed environments.

I live near the iowa traction so im always glad to see this line still running. Electrified railroads are far too rare in america

Crazy world! Elon Musk gets a diesel train into his Berlin site. Some things are mixed up. Electric trains make sense in highly populated areas. But hauling coal? Seriously?

"it's" means "it is". Back to middle school for you!

Amazing scenery, and great footage. I think that’s the first time I’ve seen an electric-loco-hauled freight train in the US. One thing that struck me: are those really wooden posts supporting the OHLE?!

Loved it. Thank you for your efforts ❤🙏🏻

That's wild as I probably watched those things pulling Metroliners growing up! ?Nice to see them enjoying thier retirement!

What's the main barrier to more electric freight rail in the US? Is it a hellscape of navigating through legislation and lobbying? Total layman here, but this looks to make too much sense not to be more prevalent.

They are again/still runningf??????? I heard that they discontinued all operations in early 2000s and abandoned the railway. Great to see they are still/again running trains with those locos!

Didn’t even know this existed! Awesome!

Same sort of railroad was shutdown a couple of years ago on the Navajo Reservation in northern Arizona. That train moved coal from the Black Mesa coal mine to the Navajo Power Station located outside Page, Arizona. The power station provided the electricity for the train. All of it is gone now and at least 500 Navajos are unemployed, this on a reservation where unemployment is roughly 50%.
