    Nice catch of those ex-WC hoppers and a Ferromex boxcar on CP 253.

      I think that is the first Ferromex box car I've gotten.. Thanks for watching Hortencio.

    Awesome catches! I’m sure you don’t miss the floods but the video from a few years ago was a classic! Great video.

      Thanks AlphaRailfan, I like for a little bit but it gets old real fast.

    Thanks Jeff , a very good video and fun to watch this CP freight running through the flooded area. I like seeing the wheels chopping the water including the ES44AC 8723 producing the ripples in the water. It's too bad this ain't a normal thing because I'm beginning to like this videos of trains in floods. I have an issue of Trains magazine from 1993 showing a few pictures of a Santa Fe freight crawling through a flooded area. Good stuff 😁👍

      And I forgot to mention the first train on dry ground was excellent as well. Good motive power and rolling stock in this video. Well done 👍

      2019, that flood lasted almost three months. Thanks for watching Darryl.

    Cool catches and here we go again with the water just like a couple few years ago with your past videos. Enjoyed watching and have a great rest of your evening Jeff.(Steve)

    You have to handle that train very carefully and slowly to avoid burning out any traction motors on the locomotives especially where the water is over the head of the rails. Thanks for sharing!

    • @jefftoft5568

      Yep, they don’t go over 10 mph through the water.

    Wow! Waves breaking on the tracks! I guess they are good to go as long as no water gets in the traction motors. Similar situation up and down the river this year.

    • @jefftoft5568
      @jefftoft5568  Рік тому

      Yep, keep the water out. The river is cresting today but it up for a while yet.

    Thx Jeff. Notice the MD&W cars? A 4 mile long short line, if it's the same RR.

    • @jefftoft5568

      I've seen them before not sure if they are the same road. Thanks for watching Bob.

    There was a Train on the Letts Siding with No Locomotives on my way to Columbus Junction on my way Home it was Gone

      They do park a few until they are ready to move them.

    WIth the amount CPKC had parked in Savanna and Sabula there should be plenty of traffic to slow roll that way once the water drops some and i Know BNSF was holding plenty up on their side of Savanna . Will be interesting to see what rolls by in 10 days or so with the Mexico Chicago link up

    • @jefftoft5568
      @jefftoft5568  Рік тому +1

      Yep, the new stacks are supposed to start on the 11th. It will be interesting. Thanks for watching AJ.

    They’re Smart using the Old dilapidated Canadian Pacific (CP) Units instead of the Newer and Shinier KCS Units. 😬👍

    Nice video jeff also did you get snow today on May 1st

    • @jefftoft5568
      @jefftoft5568  Рік тому +1

      No, just a lot of wind and mid 50s. Thanks for watching Nancy.

    That looked some pretty challenging conditions to film in. What's the maximum wading depth for a General Electric locomotive? 😒

    • @jefftoft5568
      @jefftoft5568  Рік тому

      The wind was pretty bad, as far as the locomotives are concerned. I would think 4 to 6 has to be the max, just from splashing concerns. Thanks for watching Andrei.
