I produce train videos usually around Northern California, I’m a big fan of Union Pacific and freight railroading.
Union Pacific Big Boy 4014 over the Donner Pass
In July of 2024, the Union Pacific Big Boy Number 4014 went on its Westward bound tour ultimately making it to Northern California. After stopping at Roseville for a few days, 4014 would do the Donner Pass tour from Roseville California - Sparks Nevada. At Auburn the train hit a tree, delaying the whole tour to Sparks. Finally after 2 and a half hours, 4014 rolls into Colfax which is where we would chase it to the summit. Sit back and enjoy clips and photographs of the Big Boy making its way through the Sierra Nevadas.

Railfanning Newark Junction CA - 6/28/2024
Переглядів 1364 місяці тому
Newark junction is a great spot to railfan where the UP coast sub meets up with the UP Mulford line better known as little coast. Traffic can get decently busy during rush hour since ace runs hourly, though I went in the afternoon to catch the IOANP (Oakland to North Platte) which is the only daily freight train aside from locals that runs on the line. The only other intermodal that passes thro...
Union Pacific Mulford local switching the salt industries at Newark CA

The Union Pacific Mulford local runs from West Oakland to Newark and back. It runs Monday-Friday on the Mulford line. While railfanning at Newark junction on 6/28/2024, we heard the Mulford local switching near the Newark yard. So after the IOANP passed, we quickly went to Central Ave to see the local switching and shunting box cars into Cargill Salt at the Northern tip of the yard. Enjoy the v...
Lots of freight trains at Stockton! (And UP 1988) - 5/27/2024

I went to Robert J Cabral station at Stockton California for the 4th time on 5/27/2024. This station is very busy in terms of freight traffic. While there I was surprised by Union Pacific 1988 “The Katy” heritage unit trailing the MWCRV, not only that it was a perfectly timed train meet with another UP manifest. Overall it was a great day.
Railfanning Fremont - The last UP ZG2OAB
Переглядів 1985 місяців тому
I went to catch the usual UP (Union Pacific) ZG2OAB and some Amtraks on June 2nd 2024. The ZG2OAB ran from Global 2 to Oakland every week on Sundays. Little did I know this would be the last one. A few days later I got a word from other railfans informing me UP would abolish the ZG2OAB, discontinuing the service. Luckily, a new train, the ICBOA will replace the ZG2OAB making up for the loss. Th...

Earlier this year I took a trip to Sacramento and decided to stop by Roseville to catch some evening Union Pacific trains. Turned out to be pretty busy and even caught an Amtrak. Roseville Yard is the Californias hub for Union Pacific and is very busy.

If only the train didn’t stop, he would’ve learned his Lesson PERMANENTLY
@@Wowrock-1043 he got lucky
No there was no confusion. Just a stupid man that probably should be in a mental hospital. Nothing your sensors shouldn't alerted to.
The description is completely wrong. It says that there was confusion about which track the train was coming in on and that's why the cyclist almost got hit. No the cyclist almost got hit because he's a complete idiot. Who in the name of God runs in front of a train???
Wrong. It was a near hit.
Poor train driver.. he won't be able to see him anymore when he gets close because he's so high up.. He's just waiting for a loud bang that doesn't happen.. :(
Yea it must have been scary
From European standpoint, why tf does this train station look like an underequipped tram stop at best?
@@zaitsevvadym because the US only cares about freight railroads because that’s the only trains that make money
The train usually wins
@@malachimccoy4271 99% of the time
Idiot biker.😵😵💫🤯
"This caused confusion and nearly killed the biker"??? Are you really trying to shift any of the blame away from the biker? He's holding the bike in one hand, a phone or camera or whatever in second, CLEARLY looks right at the train and still decides to run across the rails anyway? Honestly, from what I can tell, he might have been filming the traind and wanted to get a cool shot. What we are looking at is a failed attempt for Darwin's prize foiled by the train's low speed and already applied brakes (that thing stopped pretty much immediately)
what's a foamers?
Wow this is amazing
What was he trying to do?
Stupid ass biker.
Are you obsessed with train.
Yes
Neither was right
Amtrack didn’t nearly hit anything. It’s on a track. Someone didn’t get out of the way.
Darwin Award Contestant
@@markg.2501 qualified
He’s the type of idiot that would risk killing himself and everyone else in order to make the freeway exit
Obviously...there are no limits on how stupid human beings can be...no limits at all!
I’ve been going to this station for many years. He literally could’ve just waited for it to pass, then go around smh
I would be yelling loudly too
What a complete moron and idiot biker
Dude could've rode the bike to be faster and cross the tracks far ahead of the train rather than right in front of it. That wouldn't be good either, but way better than what he did lol. That WAS the last train so I understand his perspective, he just could've done it better.
@@gray_gogy he should’ve just waited for the train to stop and go around the end of the
What’s really dangerous are those Japanese and European bullet trains. They come so much faster, people can’t judge the timing.
That’s why there are NO level crossings on those lines…
Of the hundreds of thousands of miles Amtrak travels accident free across the United States for some strange reason northern California is a hotspot for accidents, mainly due to people doing exactly what you have just seen in this video. I used to drive a city bus and many times we were forced to detour do to a pedestrian, or car vs train event. The engineer would not have been at fault, but who wants a fatality on their conscience for the rest of their lives.
But guys, you don't understand. He would have missed the train if he didn't almost get killed by the train.
Oh good point!
What the hell kind of train station is this
Was the guy with the bicycle arrested or fined? Crossing the tracks like that is a criminal offense.
@@nickalonzo7575 no they just didn’t let him on the train, fair punishment in my opinion
He’s certainly a dumb ass for doing that.
@@HighDef69 yup
Do people seriously think they would outrun and win against the iron horse? The train always wins. 🤦🤦
@@aaroncampbell2180 trains will always over power
Allllllmost a great video!!! Too bad...
Why is this station at grade?
the guy yelling in the back needs to stfu with all that yapping
@@kampsie1841 yea but chill
I can't fix stupid so I don't think this will help this moron.
He was getting across just fine why did they stop the train and why is everyone freaking out?!
@@poiiihy the real question here is are you blind?
People just want something to be mad about
@@nighthaste9763 I guess
It'll cost like $50 in fuel to move it up
That looks like a tram track not something a big train should use
the american mind cannot comprehend the concept of a raised train platform
The biker is indeed dumb and the engineer was right to deny service, but I have never seen a dumber station design. The train just randomly stops in what is effectively a parking lot? No raised platforms? No barriers? Yikes.
I hate how pedestrians and bikers in urban areas get a narcissistic mindset. "Everyone stops for me" Physicis will not stop for you.
Mr. Bicyclist, ALWAYS expect a train.
The last train to Bakersfield? Yeah no thanks, I'd rather get hit by the train than ride it to the loony farm that is Bakersfield.
idiot
That’d be a normal day in India
The cyclist could have waited for the train to stop, then rounded the front. There aren't any barriers preventing this.
Biker: "I think I can win and take the hit." Your brain on drugs...
Guy is a dumbass for what he did. Luckily, the train was going at a slow pace and was able to stop in time before something worse can occur.
So many idiots!
People are overreacting. We cross tracks like this all the time in India. Toughen up. Smarten up.
@@HarmanHundal01 well this isn’t India so shut up
@@NorCaliRailroading2023 Yeah. Too much fear over there in Cali. Can’t imagine stopping a train for someone crossing the tracks ever.
@@HarmanHundal01 that’s FRA regulations 😂
Legend has it that the guy is still asking to speak to the Amtrak manager…
