I caught this freight train before the Big Boy came through
The lady in the video was very nice. We spoke after that while we were
waiting on the Big Boy to show up. Unfortunately her phone over heated
when the Big Boy came so she couldn't video. I sent her a copy of my video.

What a clean train! Locos looked fresh and the cars looked almost new. 👍👍👍

[@grandparails8858]

Thank you Fred.

[@VinoRatRodbuilds]

Big wheels rolling. 👍

[@grandparails8858]

Thank you Robert.

Nice catch. Like the man said, " You can't fix stupid." Have a good week.

[@grandparails8858]

Very true Ron, but she did stay off the tracks after that. Thank you Ron.

Definitely a little frustrating watching that family in the beginning…”your gonna want to get off the tracks”…that’s an understatement JD😂. Nice freight, I’m guessing these were all high sided demolition gons, you caught one of my all time favorites running 3rd, an AC4460CW…an ex AC6000💪🏼, the 6000hp juggernaut that CSX and UP used during the 90’s, EMD had the SD90MAC, also 6000hp but it was nothing but problems. Awesome catch JD👍🏼🇺🇸😎

[@grandparails8858]

It is because they're not thinking about safety just the shot. I'm glad you can id those locos. I think they were scrap gons. Thank you Eddie.

[@DiggerEvans]

splendid catch JD and very good of you to send the lady a copy of your footage of the Big Boy, but good job you were there to warn her not to stand on the tracks to film the approaching train

[@grandparails8858]

I think people have a misconception of how fast a train travels. I more happy to send her the video. Thank you Digger.

Nice catch and video. Can't fix people attitude unfortunately. Have a wonderful upcoming weekend. Steve

[@grandparails8858]

A habit of mine making sure everyone's safe. Thank you Steve.

[@StormySkyRailProductions]

@@grandparails8858 you're very welcome and indeed. I seen a lot of stupid behavior during my railroad career.

[@jrosealmendras88]

Good Morning Have. Nice Day❤❤

[@grandparails8858]

Thank you Jrose.

[@ModelRailwayShed]

Hey JD great catch but the family in front are completely mad.

[@grandparails8858]

She didn't stay mad. We were talking before the Big Boy came through. I ended up sending her my video of the Big Boy because her phone got to hot and wouldn't record. Thank you Deano.

[@DruSteel69]

Awesome catch, brother. Safety first. You’re da man! 🚂😎👍🏼

[@grandparails8858]

It's one of my biggest fears is that someone getting hit by a train that could have been prevented. Thank you brother.

[@lashendawest7509]

[@grandparails8858]

[@KerleyExpress]
