    This video is very nice! I also love how the engine sounds! It's so smooth and quiet! I have always wanted to ride amtrak just for the fun of it!

    $3 million for a locomotive from GE or EMD, includes $5 wipers from Vatozone.

    Thank you for an experience I've secretly wanted all my life. As a child, the train was a family member. And the roundhouse is a cherished memory. Needless to say, when the carriages were parked for cleaning and the box lunches were given to us poor kids, that was often the only meal of the day. Homeland security makes hanging around a train station these days a no-no. My how times have changed!

    That is some smooth track work as your unit hardly swayed. Neat seeing a double track mainline with some miles to it, especially considering that back in the 80s the Class 1 railroads were bent on single tracking as much of their mainlines as the could.

    An even earlier cherished memory involving trains is this. To get into Sherman, TX., from White Wright, which was said to be at that time "the country," the poor hitched a ride aboard the caboose of the Katy which came down into Texas from Missouri. That was my first experience with train "travel."

    AOKAS (auto rack train) = Oklahoma City-East St. Louis Auto. First letter is train type, next two are origin, last two are destination. There are exceptions as UP does have 6-character train IDs, usually on coal, grain, and ethanol trains.

    Nice green countyside!
    Great view of the windshield wiper! Never thought to check aim?
    How does the engineer know thathe first grade crossing was "Quiet Zone"?
    Doesn't know how to time and sound a proper grade crossing horn sequence?
    Why no horn for the non signaled crossing at 15:45?
    19:26 Why horn AFTER the crossing?
    26:25 no warning for any idiots crossing through the train?
    Expensive cuts through all that rock.
    Thanks for posting this.

    @NuggetUnit 1. they have probably been sitting for awile so they will want to walk around
    2. They can check for defects in the passing train. then when they return to the cab they will inform the other engineer via radio

  • @legendaric1512

    It's a P42 because
    1: You can't see a front hood
    2: The cab interior is cream, which is in all of the Amtrak P42's. I'm not sure about the F40's but...
