@@carrollcameron7472 I m a rail fan and I m going on 63 I miss the old commercial passenger trains before Amtrak Of course I v e been able to travel by Amtrak too I miss the caboose at the end of the freight trains Have a good one
As a railroader who used to work this sub… this train was going probably 68-70 mph maybe a bit more if the speedometer was off. This is just one of the few towns where there are no slow curves or permanent speed restrictions, so the maximum speed is 70 for freight. Even if you cut the overspeed out, bad things would start happening if you made freight locomotives go 80 mph, like stuff would start coming unwound. The overspeed will put you in penalty braking around 73 mph. Amtrak engines are designed to go 90 mph, and Amtrak does go 90 through here, if I recall.
Believe it or not I know of several employees that have actually cut out the overspeed out of the 3 that did only one was fired, he happened to be working out of Arizona!
@@stephenheath8465 they ran 90. But none of the locomotives on the roster today are geared above 75. And that’s only a few of the GE’s. Track speeds are enforced now by PTC. There is no more speeding
I remember playing train simulator and I was driving a BNSF hotshot intermodal and I was flying at 75 mph and it did just that. I heard beeping and then I saw my speed dropping.
@@Blue_Ghost-X BNSF has a lot of trackage rated for 70 mph intermodal such as here. With the size of trains lately you won’t see 70 as much, but they are capable of it by rule. As for the MP36, they have never built a single unit rate above 110 mph. The ones used on NMRX is the MP36PH- 3C. They’re only rated for 102 mph because of the gearing and overspeed protected. We actually have a pair of them in Boston that are commuter rail agency bought from NMRX.
If an engine hits 75 mph there is an alert that starts alarming to let the engineer know that he needs to reduce the speed, certain engines alarm at 70
I liked my SD80 Mac's Conrail. They are bears. Take them over this new age stuff anytime.... But it is really really cool seeing that young fellow having so much fun!
I also experienced this in Holbrook in 2011 and let me tell you, this video is what I saw and felt, too. I had to cover my ears since the locomotive horn was so LOUD and I could not believe how fast the train was traveling. 😎
My favourite crossing in Northern AZ for speed - but not for the faint of heart as those locos can be quite fearsome at those speeds.. On SE side of crossing, there is a walkway into the depot behind a high railing. Basically across the street from where this young gent is standing - you can see it at the end of the vid.
You done a great job of actually catching the speed of this train. Most folks will pan along with it, and it just doesn't convey that speed. This video shows just how fast they go.
It takes 22 frames for the first engine to pass the signal, and the engine is 74.5 ft long, so: (1/30)*22 = 0.73 seconds 74.5/0.73 = 101.6 ft per second 101.6*60*60/5280 = 69.2 mph I was going to complain about filming the most horizontal thing yet invented in portrait mode, but I think it helps emphasize the speed so nvm
You get some real east-west screamers around Holbrook. In New Mexico I've seen some north-south freights that would take your breath away heading south from Vaughn.
Watching the video you can do a little calculation. The locomotive is approximately 22.30 meters long, the transition from the nose to the tail of the lead locomotive, taking the pole as a reference, takes approximately 0.8 seconds, so the train is traveling at approximately 63-64 miles per hour

Huh ?
The BNSF. The #1 overall Intermodal Railroad. When those trains fly they really fly.
Agreed, BNSF is definitely #1 in Intermodal in the US.
“They really fly” Yeah that train was about 5 seconds from lifting off the ground and flying across the country.
The train clickity clack 5 secs later nyooooom
BNSF is known as the fastest railroad
Agreed
I love the roar of those BNSF engines thundering down the line.
Gotta love AC Traction motors

At most 70 Mph, they can't go over 80. They'd loose their license.

The signal arm for pedestrians tells you a lot.
I’ve seen freight trains go over 60 miles an hour, but that thing was literally flying. I’ve never seen a freight train go that fast.
Them packages are gone be there a week earlier than expected lmfao that mfkr is flying smh! I will always love trains!

In the old days, fast frieght on the Reading, PRR, and Nickel Plate RR would routinely hit that speed. Especially the mail and fruit trains!
Yes, but out West, there are more miles to cover at that speed.
probably the fastest some of those trailers and sea cans have ever gone!

When Union Pacific sees BN getting bigger and bigger every second:
That thing was shaking the crossing gates. Imagine the Big Boys going that fast
The wind coming off the train is it impressive. Good thing that kid didn’t get blown over.
Wow, That's so fast. Never saw a cargo train going this much fast
Holy shit he’s going so fast maybe you should have probably stand a little bit away from the tracks.
Omg the little crossing arms for the sidewalk are so cute😂
I love all of your videos and stories on UA-cam on trains
Wow! The fastest BNSF train I have ever seen! 😮 Its probably going 70mph or 75mph
Holy marry mother of Joseph that is one high speed freight train!!
And a surprised child at fast trains up close.
Wow.Them diesels were screaming.
Wow, that's as fast as a passenger train.
Kid has big ones standing that close !
If that train derail it will tear some shit up
standin close enough ain't he ....👀

But actually intermodal trains always have higher priority, so that's why he was going so fast.

No way that's 70 MPH, that was a flat 90 MPH! Hahaha, everyone would be surprised at how fast they can move!

Your math is not accurate. Their is two locomotive lengths that matter. Length of the locomotive itself and length over pulling faces.
Amazing
70+ mph? I agree. Reminds me of the legendary "Super C"!
The Super C was classic. Never see a freight train like that again. At the high point, The Super C had a 2 hour faster schedule than The Super Chief
This train was nearly half a mile away when you started recording, wild
Now THAT actually looks like 70mph…lol!
Make that even closer to 72 or 73 damn!
When they say same day delivery, they mean it.
What the hell was that….The BNSF….They’ve just gone to plaid!
Very fast👏👏👏
Literally AND figuratively hauling freight! 🤣😆

That's the fastest freight train I've ever seen on a youtube video and I've seen tons of train videos. Damn

Nope. It's real!

Pov when Amazon says your package will be delivered over night
0:20: me when I’m late for work:
Now that’s what I call fast freight
I can only imagine if a car was in front of that thing
Intermodels ( depending on railroad ) are usually allowed to hit 60 mph or somewhere in that area 70 was is also a good answer
UP, BNSF and CSX have sections that allow for 70 MPH Intermodal speeds. NS has a system wide max speed of 60 for Intermodal.
Epic BNSF intermodel
I just imagine what if there was a car that was on the tracks
Every single video I have seen of a BNSF Intermodal THEY REALLY GO FAST!
Even though this video is 5 years old Look at that thing go!
Let’s pray that the air brakes work 🙏
he is MOVIN ALONG DANG
I'm not saying that this is really old footage, but when it was filmed, dinosaurs roamed the Earth.
Now that would be a bad derailment
