It was that day. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for the comment. How was your trip? How did you like Burbank and Glendale?

The flight was very exhausting for us and the nine-hour time difference at the beginning and afterwards when we arrived in Germany. Thanks to youtube I at least knew about the counter train since 2023, when it was coming. The other youtubers helped me a lot. I think the city itself is very clean. At least in the places where I was. It would just be more interesting if there were more trains. The Cajon Pass is worth its weight in gold.

@@marderdax One of these days, I will go to Europe, but I don't like flying, so it's a way in the future vacation. Have you ever visited Cajon Pas or the Tehachapi Loop?

@@Atsf1976 In 2023 I went to Cajon Pass for a short time, just stupid with a wife and child who have no stamina. Tehachapi would also appeal to me, but I'll never make it. I'd love to go to the Eastern Bloc countries in Europe and take photos and make films there. There's still a lot of old stuff there

@@marderdax Oh man, you should just spend a day out at Cajon Pass if you can. Tehachapi is an awesome place as well and I think that it's only 2-3 hours away, but there isn't as much traffic out there as there is at Cajon Pass. Do they care about people filming trains in Europe?

Thanks Trevor. Glad that you liked it and there is one more day left to post from that trip I think. Have a nice weekend.

@@richardk5849 really easy to get to. The exit from the freeway is paved until you turn off the paved road and go on a dirt road for maybe a quarter of a mile.

@@GregKenyon-v6i thanks Greg

@@StormySkyRailProductions thanks Steve. Just flying back from Ohio and Pennsylvania. Thanks for the pa tips

@@Atsf1976 you're very welcome and safe travels.

Basically, the railroads sometimes use more engines to get trains over the road. The result is that they end up with too many in that location and too few in another location, so they need to move the engines to where they are needed.

Thank you very much. You're my second Swiss buddy

@@ZaneTheRailfan better get one, so you can go out and watch trains

@@GIMRRC thanks Greg. It was nice meeting you and chatting. I wanted to stop by Marion again, but I just don’t have the time. One day, I will be retired like you and take it easy like you seeing all kinds of train locations.

@@trevorcooke8129 the trains were going on to other tracks to avoid the maintenance crews doing the usual track work out there. Yes, the long and tall cars transport cars. Thanks for watching and commenting.

BNSF in Cajon Pass has 3 main lines. Mains 1 and 2 parallel each other for the entire grade, while main 3 diverges at this point and takes a shorter, but steeper route over the pass between Cajon and Summit. The track going off to the right is main 3 but ends up at the same place as the other main tracks.

Thanks. I'm out in Ohio, let's party. haha.

@@Atsf1976 I wished I could join you out there. We didn't make it out that way this year due to obligations. If you get a chance Deshler Fostoria Bellevue Marion Greenwich are all great hot spots to get to if you can. I haven't been to Berea but Jenny has. Have fun safe travels and you're very welcome. Let us know how you favored. Steve

@@GregKenyon-v6i cajon is usually pretty action packed

@@richardk5849 thanks Richard. Two more weeks for you. I’m out in Ohio and then Pennsylvania later in the week. I will try to email you later if I can

Yes, less than 2 weeks now. Friday October 4 to Vancouver via Nadi. First leg about 4 and a half hours, second one about 11 and a half. Enjoy Ohio and Pennsylvania. Haven’t been to either.

How you been? How's Switzerland?

Cool. What did he do there? Not too many people are out there it seems.

@@richardk5849 just google paradise, nv in google maps. It’s just southwest of Carlin,nv. Yes, bnsf has trackage rights on this line. I don’t know the symbol for sure, but I think that it goes from Denver, co to Stockton, ca. it was the only bnsf train that I caught. I bet that it’s beautiful in the winter with the snow out here. I expect updates or a trip report at the end about spots and traffic levels.

@@StormySkyRailProductions thanks. You do the same. You ever railfan out in Ohio?

@@Atsf1976 you're very welcome and thank you also.

I would really like to go out and see if I could catch some trains going over the great salt lake, but I worry that I would only catch one or two trains for the day and that would piss me off big time.

@@Atsf1976 yeah not sure how many trains go across there. Is UP using the tracks directional or are they both getting east and west traffic? Not even sure how close together they run in places so they could switch over but obviously most traffic once it gets further west goes over Donner Pass.

@@richardk5849 I don't know either. It looks like they have the two subs, so I would suggest that they do run directionally, but not even 100% sure. Same goes for Arnold Loop out there. I wanted to stop and check it out, but I might see one train for an entire morning or afternoon and that would suck.

Thanks Steve. Have a good one as well

@@Atsf1976 you're very welcome and thank you also.

Thanks Alik. They need to run more trains out here. haha.

@@richardk5849 I don’t know the last time that I saw one, so I thought that it would be a good thumbnail. I think that I will head east out of Salt Lake City next time and visit echo canyon and green river, Wyoming as those places are much better. I guess much traffic doesn’t make it past Salt Lake City coming from the west coast and maybe the stuff from the Midwest doesn’t necessarily end up in Oakland.

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@Atsf1976I think a lot of traffic to Oakland comes up and over Tehachapi. As well as the Pacific Northwest traffic heading north from Granger and UP seemingly preferring the old Rock Island route to reach El Paso and then Beaumont Hill into the LA area nowadays, the Salt Lake/Ogden region is quieter it appears. My first time in SLC was 1989 and it was so busy. I have seen the decline since then. Green River has been good to me. We have booked 3 nights there as our longest stop anywhere from the upcoming trip. I will get time for trains and the girls will get time to see the wild horses on those hills north of the town.

@@richardk5849 I look forward to updates. You're right about SLC seeming to be dead. Almost nothing rolls through Helper either. Are you going to go up on that dirt road past the water treatment facility? That was a good location, especially in the afternoon with the sun behind you.

@@Atsf1976yes, will go to that dirt road. It’s a great spot especially for westbound traffic as they start to climb the hill. Only downside is if you get a long eastbound that stops and block your view from westbounds.

@@richardk5849 Maybe some golden hour action climbing the hill leaving town would be nice.

@@StormySkyRailProductions thanks Steve. Hopefully you have Labor Day off

@@Atsf1976 yes indeed. You're very welcome.

@@GregKenyon-v6i thanks. It was awesome out there

@@StormySkyRailProductions thanks Steve. Can it be Friday already? Lol

@@Atsf1976 Your very welcome and soon enough indeed.

Thanks. A great perspective from the air. Crawford Hill is such a great place to watch southbound trains especially with the manned helper sets.

@@richardk5849 you're very welcome and yes indeed for sure.

@@richardk5849 those manned helpers were awesome to see and even better to detach on the move like that.

@@aznstylepn0y mining is used to get metals and stuff like coal out of the earth to be used for items that we use daily

@@Atsf1976 thank you much. For the information . Because I use a lot of compressed charcoal pencils for art . Wanted to make sure from an expert . Thank you.

Yes sir. How you been?

Thanks Richard. I'm hoping that you are able to make many notes of the areas for me because when I went out there, I don't know if I had bad luck, but it didn't seem like I saw many trains (especially in Montana by the national park up there). I'm going to send you an email later buddy. A little more than a month for you, so I'm hoping that you're doing your research.

Were there still a bunch of BN SD40-2s? I always wanted to see that and when BN ran the fuel tender between units. That won't happen now, but that was a better time for this area.

@@Atsf1976yes I can remember seeing SD40’s but they were being used as manned helpers over Crawford Hill. No fuel tenders. We still have fuel tenders here on some trans continental trains across the Nullarbor plain.

Thanks Steve. I agree with you 100%. Now it seems like they don't run them like they used to. It's a shame because three mainlines should be being used to capacity, so that we can see loaded coal trains slowly climbing little hills. Maybe that'll change in the future. Have a good weekend.

@@Atsf1976 you're very welcome and hopefully someday it will change for the better. Thank you very much also.

Thanks Dave. Have a good Sunday.

@@Atsf1976 you're very welcome. Thanks and you also.

Thank you very much

Sometimes it's nothing more than lucky timing. Kind of a bummer about less coal traffic, but that's alright because there was other traffic out there. Loaded coal trains are great to see climbing up even little hills with DPUs on the rear though. Next week, Cajon, Beaumont and Fullerton. Then, it's off to Elko, but I just hope that there is enough traffic out there.

@@Atsf1976have driven SLC to Reno a few times. Can’t remember a lot about Elko. Are the 2 rail lines far apart there? I take it both are still in service.

@@richardk5849 There are two rail lines there, but from the video that I saw, they aren't far apart like at Sherman Hill.

Thanks Luke. How's your neck of the woods?

Anytime. You're lucky to live there because I can only imagine seeing bnsf trains daily. Not only that, but the area is so nice and clean.

Thankfully because I live out in Nevada and I can't imagine living without A/C.

Or so some people can run their mouth.

@@snydedon9636 huh?

@@richardk5849 seems like trains have become technical in terms of what types of engines haul what

@@GregKenyon-v6i not much snow where I am at

Thanks Steve. You too. Time for a weekend nap. lol.

@@Atsf1976 Your welcome and thank you also. Yes indeed.
