Imagine the view from that locomotive!
Fantastic action around the Huey P Long Bridge on both sides of the Mississippi River! Central Avenue is a great place to watch train. Just don't get caught behind a slow-moving freight. Speed limit off the bridge is 10 mph!
Why is the bridge speed so slow?
If I'm not mistaken that crew should be the NOPB bridge crew. From what I was told be a NOPB crew member a few years ago only a specific crew that's trained can bring a train across the bridge. It's kind of like how there are river Pilots that bring ships up the Mississippi to New Orleans.
i bet thi bridge was closed during katrina
Nice! t That area is a train hot spot..
Awesome video!
+Los Angeles Rail Productions Glad you enjoyed!
The horn on that NOPB locomotive does NOT sound like a locomotive horn. It sounds like a large boat at. And where are his flashing ditch lights, just before the crossing at 3:33?.

Where are his flashing ditch light on this BNSF locomotive, just before the crossing at 20:12?
BNSF doesn’t have flashing ditch lights
What's a CSX train doing on a UP track at 12:31?
Interestingly, I visited that railway crossing just off the bridge when I was in NO a few years ago. It was very active.
+Canuck1000 Yea it's a great spot.
Those little EMDs pulled a long train 7:00
What? MP1500DC leading? With only one GE locomotive..
The units you're referring to are SW1500's not MP15DC's. Also the reason NOPB is using their own power verses using UP C45ACCTE #7353 is to avoid having to pay UP for the operation of the unit on NOPB's trackage/time. In other words by using the unit, NOPB would be accumulating horsepower hours owed to UP, and as a result would have to reimburse UP for those operational costs/time. Consequently by keeping the unit isolated and not part of the active consist it allows NOPB to use their own power to move the train and subsequently ferry the unit along without racking up any operational costs owed to UP as a result. It's a pretty common thing in railroading.

What is that thing you show us at 18:12 ? What a shame we can't keep the graffiti off the freight cars.
Why do you have mbmars01's video as yours?
I thought that same thing at first too but this actually is a different video. I suspect that the owner of this channel and the owner of mbmars01 are friends and were filming together on the same day. Proof of this being that if you look up mbmars01's video titled "[4Y] Congested Railroad Network in New Orleans, LA, 03/05/2017 ©mbmars01" and watch it along side this one you can see noticeably different editing in parts as well as mbmars01's video has a lot more color saturation and clarity to it due to him using a higher quality camera. Again I thought the same thing and was about to rip this guy a new one for stealing content but it is in fact a different video. It just so happened to be recorded along side mbmars01's video so the content was very similar. Hopefully that clarifies things.
