Went past Kyle Fisher's business yesterday, he had hid crane extended all the way up and a big American Flag hanging from it! Looked very nice in the morning sun!
G'day Jeff, Cool vid , made me think of all the years I've been a rev head ,riding my bikes for 55 yrs n always had a sports car too,wondered if I'd ever slow down as I got older , ha ha I'm a little wiser & more careful of government revenue raising (speed cameras) , but still an old rev head at heart . Car looks a treat Jeff. Respect...!
Hi Uncle, a little bit of trivia for those over your side of the fence. America has supplied Australia with some of it's finest Locomotives and heavy haulage technology. Companies like Baldwin, Lima, Alco and G.E shipped Steam and later Diesels to Australia and in particular, Queensland. The Black AC16 no. 221A on my channel (known as MacArthers or Yanks), is one example of a batch that 20 that The U.S donated to Qld during 1943 to help with the movement of soldiers and military equipment from Brisbane to Townsville and onto Darwin via Mt Isa in the north west. In 1952 G.E shipped Queensland Government Railways our first Diesel electric locomotive, later known as the 1150 class, but like the steam locomotive discribed above, they were fondly known as "Yanks" . You guys certainly know how to do freight, If I was to take a guess I would say that those 9 Engines on the lead is what we call "balancing the power", meaning they need locomotives at a certain destination to work trains, so they attach them to a train going to that depot. I lost count at 120 vehicles, but normally you wouldn't expect to see that many locomotives on the lead of a train, mostly because of draft forces and drawgear limitations. That's why they had the 2 mid train radio controlled locomotives. Queensland Rail was one of the first to use this technology on our coal trains in 1971. In June 2001 BHP Iron Ore in the Australian Pilbara region of Western Australia, set a record for the longest train with 682 ore cars and eight distributed GE AC6000CW locomotives in a 2-168-2-168-2-168-1-178-1 configuration. Dad and my brother Mark drove similar trains to this for Rio. Take care, how much did the bread and milk run to the shop cost ya?🤣😂😄 Pipes... PIPES!!! wait til them boys in their chevies see dem PIIIIIIPES!!!
That video was for you from Mr. Paydirt!…. That’s really cool…was quite a train….I sort of thought 9 locomotives in the front was a bit too much power…..so maybe they split the cars off for different destinations…north, south or eastbound once they get over the mountains….by the time that train makes it to new jersey it’s just 20 cars of lumber.
@njonebale7889 Jeff is a good man and a dear friend. Shunting has changed dramatically over the 24yrs I have been in the Railway. My Dad was also a Train Driver joining QR in 1971. When he was in the job, just about every where you had any industry or agriculture, there were sidings, loading ramps and derrick cranes. Now everything is bulk and containerised, and transhipped at large freight forwarding facilities onto trucks for delivery. No more regular shunt trains, no more loose shunting, kicking wagons or brake men to place wagons into different roads. Just string of wagons in, containers offloaded with gantry cranes or forklifts and strings leaving with other loading.. The trains are fewer, but longer and heavier. I'm glad for my experiences and am looking forward to seeing early retirement, I wouldn't mind returning to dirt moving eventually. Cheerio.
Thanks for the reminder of the white board, i got a kick out of the kids doing it. I even got to see my name up there. What an honor it was 🎉. You deserve to enjoy that car Jeff, i liked the trip through the neighborhood. Best Wishes to everyone at Anderson Construction.
Oh man i could have so much fun with that hot rod. It's a pleasure watching you put her through her paces you hearing that Mopar. Plus changing those gears sadly many in the younger generations don't know how to drive manual vehicles anymore. Thanks for the videos.
Emerald is indeed in Queensland, good farming country up there, lots of nice black soil. Electric trains there to get the coal to the coast. Built by people with lots of foresight in times gone past. These days the government would probably try to drive trains with windmills or horses.
Thx Jeff,had a Knee replacement June 4th,so been waiting on the videos,glad your better,car looks and sounds great. Could see left front lifting each shift Cool!
Happy Fourth of July to you Paydirt!….nice big train there…looked as long as my state is!….love how the mopar twisted up the front end…built a 73 step side with a 454 with some cam in it…would do the same thing…I loved it!
Hi Jeff, Hope you and the family had an awesome 4th. The Challenger sounds sweet. Better than the '78 Z28 I had and highly modified. Looking forward to the Cat videos. I remember all the comments you received about putting it up on those round wood blocks. Stay safe.
People that work for the Government can't believe the price increase amount.....that's funny. When I graduated from College, which was 45 years ago, a good starting salary was $18,000 and tuition was around $400.00 for 3 months or a semester.
After watching many train videos from up your way bro I would say some of those front locos will be on transfer and not powered up, well unless there are some steep grades along the line. Great video all round too. Safe travels. Ken.
Dang that was a log train 😮Nine engines and two backups🤯. And I thought my fuel bill was high🤔 That was an awesome video, thankx n ✨🎉🎈Happy 4th of July 🎈🎉✨ I got the No.12 Grader up and going for the first time in two years. Any and all the videos I recorded were crap so I trashed the idea of making a video. 🤔 thought I'd leave it to the professionals like Frank n Jeff . My hat is off to you guys.. 🎩Loved the flashback to the whiteboard.

Thought I clicked on Virtual Railfan at first......Loved the Challenger ride along. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for the reminder of the white board, i got a kick out of the kids doing it. I even got to see my name up there. What an honor it was 🎉.
You deserve to enjoy that car Jeff, i liked the trip through the neighborhood.
Best Wishes to everyone at Anderson Construction.
Man oh man, that ride along in the purple people eater sure brought back some memories. Love that car.
Now THAT is a train! Here in the tired old UK max train length is a mere half a mile due to constraints of signals and size of passing loops.
Great shots of the dam. Thanks for the ride in the MOPAR. It's good to know she still purrs.
I love that female singing
Oh man i could have so much fun with that hot rod. It's a pleasure watching you put her through her paces you hearing that Mopar. Plus changing those gears sadly many in the younger generations don't know how to drive manual vehicles anymore. Thanks for the videos.
Idaho is a beautiful place Jeffery
Happy 4th My Friend. Thanks for taking us along.
Hope your doing Better!
I had the 47 Power Wagon out Yesterday too!
TGP
Hearing you shift through those gears has me wanting to pull the 4 speed out of the shed and install it in my 68 Firebird. Nice Challenger Jeff

Love the power in that car watching the front come up when you put the boot up it 👍
Jeff wins - living in the beautiful state of Idaho! Happy birthday America.. 🇺🇲
Cheers America 🇺🇸
great video. The challenger sounds good! She purrs like an angry kitty.
Great video Jeff always enjoy watching the Falls and the Challenger. Thanks for sharing Happy 4th of July Jeff and Family.
That's a common site in the out back of Australia for that length train lol
Grandkids are amazing. Hope you're 4th was awesome
Nice soothing video, you always pick cool music. I enjoyed the flip off the dash during acceleration. 🤣
Awesome and beautiful
Dam l just love that car.
Great Independence Day! 👍🏽😊❤️🇺🇸
Looking forward to it. You are sounding better! God bless
Thx Jeff,had a Knee replacement June 4th,so been waiting on the videos,glad your better,car looks and sounds great. Could see left front lifting each shift Cool!
Those falls look like a nice place to stop for lunch instead of eating while driving.
Happy Fourth of July to you Paydirt!….nice big train there…looked as long as my state is!….love how the mopar twisted up the front end…built a 73 step side with a 454 with some cam in it…would do the same thing…I loved it!
I Hope You Enjoyed Your Treason Day Nancy And I Laid Low And Loved It Car Looks And Sounds Good
Dig the Challenger Jeff, sounds great. Really nice day here in Oregon today 95 and sunny.
Enjoy the weather while you can, it's supposed to get over 100°F next week.
Hi Jeff,
Hope you and the family had an awesome 4th. The Challenger sounds sweet. Better than the '78 Z28 I had and highly modified. Looking forward to the Cat videos. I remember all the comments you received about putting it up on those round wood blocks. Stay safe.
Very cool car, Jeff!
fantastic ride Sir
your challenger has just the right amount of decibles that makes it just right for the road
Happy Independence Day All
Dang Jeff, for good or ill, there's a fire at the Placerville California airport called the Pay Dirt fire.
Leave it to the state
of Californication.

Nice!
Thanks Jeff

Jeff, thanks for sharing.

Nice Car Bro Good on ya !! Haters be damned ! Lol ☮🍁
Dang that was a log train 😮Nine engines and two backups🤯.
And I thought my fuel bill was high🤔
That was an awesome video, thankx n ✨🎉🎈Happy 4th of July 🎈🎉✨
I got the No.12 Grader up and going for the first time in two years. Any and all the videos I recorded were crap so I trashed the idea of making a video. 🤔 thought I'd leave it to the professionals like Frank n Jeff . My hat is off to you guys.. 🎩Loved the flashback to the whiteboard.
Be interesting to hear your thoughts on how the 9 pushes when you get the tracks and the new blade on it
Sounds of freedom have a great day Jeff
And everyone else stateside 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇬🇧🇬🇧
Not much throttle input to get that thing motivated...😅
You know what that car needs ? A good looking woman behind the wheel. How about getting some video time of Mrs. Paydirt cruising around ?
Maybe a frosty Budweiser ?
Did you build that one with the D9 ; )
What track was that you played for the freight train? I really liked it
Summer love, from epidemic sound
Can yall dig lakes to hold water for irrigation or are you not allowed to keep water that falls on your land?
It's so gravely it goes into the aquifer, it's all about recharge now
It's so gravely it goes into the aquifer, it's all about recharge now
Interesting, that's what they are doing here in new Zealand now, trying to put back what is being discharged for irrigation
Camphor and Eucalyptus, rub some on your soles, then thick socks and early night. Vicks Vapor Rub has it. Thank me later.
What’s your opinion on the denial of water to the Idaho potato farmers?
I talked about that a couple videos ago while driving the Kwhopper
