    0:12 what's Percy The Small Engine doing in Elkhart, Indiana? Oh wait, it's just the caboose's whistle. It sounds a lot like Percy's!
    1:46 nice to see some very long wooden poles being shipped by rail
    6:16 nice to see that PRR red FRA car with normal FRA inspection cars
    9:38 three P42s pulling ten single level cars
    11:22 King of Graffiti 7086 in the lead. It got its graffiti in 2017
    13:18 nice to see an old repainted UP wide cab towing an inspection car
    15:09 wow, a bunch of single stack containers passing each other west of Chicago!
    15:24 nice to see a Warbonnet leader with a Ferromex loco without its center body and dented rear
    17:43 That's something clever for the rear locomotive! Now I really want more Amtrak trains to be double-ended!
    18:29 1111's oCS is going quite fast!
    25:16 WOW! an NS loco traveling "backward"! I believe they used to run their narrow nose Dash 9s like that in the 90s.

    0:45 - The SP heritage unit is stuck in coal hauling, it'll probably be shuttling for a while
    1:04 - EL heritage, I wonder why they didn't use the later scheme
    1:30 - Timber and Iron beams, bridge/embankment maintenance?
    2:45 - Another transformer, good thing they're replacing the aging ones
    4:30 - An ex NYC GP40 rebuilt into a GP40WH-2 with a F45 style cab
    4:48 - Also glad to see the old circular color light signals. Their end is near though..
    5:00 - I always thought the I.T heritage was dirtier than this, and it has a burn mark too!
    6:42 - I've actually seen both 223 and 219 together, I guess they roam the northern tracks
    7:14 - You can almost never watch a grab from Revelstoke, BC and not see an SD70ACU
    10:23 - 5528 looks like it was a flaky Dash 9. It needs a repainted by now
    11:23 - Looks like BNSF is selling off units to the KING RR! This is the same consist with the crazy spitter valve
    12:25 - An SD75M in a mainline consist, I don't know why BNSF uses them for switching
    14:00 - A UP painted track car, spaced by a well car?
    15:37 - As far as I can tell FXE 4086 is a fresh de-hooding from the past month
    17:43 - What a way to -taunt- tell people they're late
    18:33 - UP 1111 (did I miss a 1?) made it down from Nebraska
    19:21 - Imagine one of those things cars tipping over and having to re-wheel them
    22:56 - Another "Sonic Bonnet" is going over Horseshoe Curve
    22:30 - I think we can call Greencastle, PA the "Heritage Hotpsot"
    23:52 - Blades and hubs, now all they need are the towers!
    25:15 - The SD70ACUs still long hood forward, the N&W Southern way still rolls along
    26:02 - Love the way the sound echoes out
    26:20 - I bet the crew really wants to wait hours at a signal right now, and KCS

    25:55.... Ahhhhhhh!!! The first lightning capture of the season, that I've seen. Most excellent! Way to bookend the vid, love it!
    You know, you guys that run the show here should loop some of the storms & make your own sleep aid videos. You get enough footage to make it quite easy for yourselves. With &/or without trains passing the camera. Bet that might make for a few good view & revenue generators, too. A great & somewhat tough one would be to capture San Juan Capistrano in a heavy rain at night. It's quite picturesque when it does happen. Heck, I've put that cam up on my computer numerous times to sleep to when it isn't raining. Quite relaxing.
    Regards!

    14:20 never seen engines turn their lights off like this. Was it just as a gesture to the passing train, to turn the brights (re: ditch lights) off to not blind the oncoming train?

    • @amtrak706
      @amtrak706 4 роки тому

      You should look up videos of that, engineers dim the lights when meeting other trains pretty much every single time. They often even do it when approaching grade crossings as in this video, which you are technically not supposed to do since the ditch lights need to be displayed to do greater than 20 mph over public crossings according to the FRA.
