Very great video

[@markiewodi3371]

Howdy I’ve been watching a few of your vids and they’re great. I hope you can make some away from the crossing bell. Cause there’s nothing like seeing and listening to these cats flying by.

God Man 5 Engines !

Here in Central Cal, they appear to deadhead engines north out of LA. Too much SB freight.

@@jerroldkazynski5480 how much distance does trains like these cover while hauling these massive loads?

[@jerroldkazynski5480]

@@christophern762 The container trains are coming into seaports with US goods going for export, from factories. Foreign goods imported are taken to distribution centers. West Coast ports serve western States, Gulf ports serve Central, East Coast for East. Specialty items are shipped from closest port to destination for export (Asia or Europe). It's complex because it's a huge business.

GREAT CATCH.

[@paulthomas3841]

God that's Long only 2 Engines

[@mch2359]

Two in the front and two more at the end, I don't know why the two at the end were not in the middle of the train. I suppose they can push as well as they can pull?

[@codyrapp7253]

Wow how many tracks are their on the BNSF chillicothe sub?

[@Ukraine2011]

So why do shipping companies hire trains to ship their shipping containers? Is it somehow cheaper that way?

Yelling & screaming detracts from the enjoyment of watching. Pipe down & quit flapping your guns
