    Okay, me again. Ignorance is bliss, but to purge mine, I have a question: Why does G & U need 3 units for trainloads of 4 - 12 carloads? Do they split them up in the yard and interchange for the purpose of tag-teaming switching operations? Or is there perhaps a section or sections of radical grade change(s) through short vertical curves? Just asking. Maybe I should pose the question to G & U itself. Keep the good stuff coming, South Coast. I am living 'vicariously' here in Albuquerque.

      Both grades and switching maneuvers. Sometimes they also split the train with different crews. Thanks for watching!

    Great job Mike! You got lucky since they served Washington Mills towards the end

      Unfortunately they didn’t serve them but just broke the train then shoved into the yard. I’ll have to get lucky next time I’m there! I need a shot of that switch for a documentary style video I’ve been thinking of.

      @@SouthCoastRailVideos Oh ok, also, if you're gonna try and get them and they serve Washington Mills you're gonna have to chase a northbound run from Upton because they normally don't serve that customer in the morning on a day they would serve them.

    Great video for two reasons:
    1. Using a tripod. I get tired of the number of videos that have the "shakes" or poor editing.
    2. Having a photographers (actually cinematographers) eye to compose your scene. You aren't JUST shooting close-ups of a train going by. You use your surrounding scenery to be a "supporting actor" which adds interest to the video and helps to tell your "story". I especially liked the "long shot" of the train going by in the distance.
    Good job! I hope to see more of your videos.

    Just googled their turf. Did they just build a new yard recently?
