@@WideWorldofTrains Hi, I have never seen two trains so close together on the same track. What if the first train had a problem could the second train stop in time without hit the back of the first one? Wasn’t the second train going faster than the first train. Where are all the cabooses on the end of trains?
Very neat how when the telephoto zoom is used compressing the distance, then the small subtle changes in the grade appear to be much larger making the rails look uneven and wavey
I like it when you use the radar gun. It would also be great if you could give the car count, especially when there’s locomotive spread throughout the train. I noticed in one of the videos we had two locomotives, the second one was 35 cars back and the last car was number 70 so that was spread about halfway through. But I think it’s fascinating to know how long the really long trains are. Really enjoy your show keep up the good work.
I love the trains goes right through the center of our little agricultural town of Brownsville Indiana east on the main one going to pass right now that's one of them from Chicago to Cincinnati
That video compression is just amazing. Looking at the full train cars and there is virtually no wobbling. A real testament to the track maintenance crews.
@@prarieborn6458 In a way, they are, at least for the up-and-down parts: this type of exaggerated view due to a telelens would be impossible to reproduce if the track was laid down correctly in my country, we would not allow this type of height deviation at all, not for freight trains and definitely not for passenger trains (higher speeds).
I’m not sure this is a compliment but I just love your videos they have a wonderful ASMR quality for me and are so peaceful! I just get so relaxed watching trains and the pace just slows down and if I’m feeling panicky and full of chaos I’m able to step away and just be a train.
Hello Wide World of Trains on UA-cam bbaaaaaaa, I got done school of a half day today, so wish me luck for Tuesday, anyways nice job on the whole video man!
Turkey buzzards, toot salute and containers full of barking seals, and a train meet. Great start! Make it a trifecta why dontcha! I turned in a hot box when I was 14 on a freight on the Milwaukee Road main behind our house. I saw a pinwheel of grinder sparks on a TTX flat with a trailer on it and called the railroad's emergency number and gave my location. The train stopped within minutes but it was way worse than a hot bearing. The bearing had disintegrated and the axle had chewed half way through the side frame. I got to the car about the same time as the front and rear crews and one of them said " our dispatcher said a kid called this in and good thing too, it would have been on the ballast in another mile". I told him I was the kid and he shook my hand and told me thanks. They had to split the train in two on each side of the car and leave the car where it was . A few hours later a self proppelled crane with a flat car came and the crane crew did a truck swap. The next week I got a thank you letter from the railroad which I still have. That was back in the mid '70s when there were no detectors and the rear crew was supposed to keep an eye out but it was on a blind curve so they didn't see it. Absolutely great video, brought back some memories. Thanks!
Good stuff, nice shot of the LSL with the 50th anniversary unit, the local lhf knocking down the signals, and the conductor gettting a rainy ride- makes you really appreciate all that they do in any weather conditions.
Exactly. I worked the tracks Labor. Tho union says no work in rain. But we did so much for teamster union. Rain, snow, stormy windy wind, I say wind cause I got wind burn, it's same as sunburn. It stings from any pasting air breezed just a wave of hand IT STING. Cure is stay out of air breezes. I wrapped up like an Arab face covering. And vasoline. I had to work outside everyday.
@@johnnyfisherr2656 ty for all your hard work, as i also work outside all day yr round.i think its crazy rr mngmnt wants to go to 1 man crews!, putting $ before safety. What if a crewmmember becomes incapacitated in a remote area? At least a second crewmember can call for help and/ or try to give first aid
yea sorry about that train hot box problem but great triple meet and catching that short hopper train too and as well at hertige 100 on the lake shore limited
Outstanding railfan set of videos. Triple train meet, with a smoky freight car, fast trains, and even a rainstorm. Are we not entertained?????? Thank you.
That was extremely interesting, thanks for all of your commentary and explanation, that is very much appreciated. Great triple-train meet! Too bad it was raining so hard. At least you stayed dry. It's good the conductor had his raincoat on.
Interesting video with the hot box and nature's clean up crew. At our 5oth reunion, a flock of turkey vultures were slow circling overhead. I stated we better get the party started,folks 'cause those guys think it's pretty dead. Nice job WWOT.
Triple train meet Alright wow seeing g that GP39-2 knock down the signal was really cool and awesome catch of one of our Amtrak heritage units another great video with some awesome trains wwot DPU Alright Roll it
Back during the seaboard railroad days of the 60's,my grand parents live on the edge of seaboard street in lumberton north Carolina. And the seaboard freight trains would come by daily in the evening .Normally having five to six Sd-45 or mixture of Gp-30 type diesels pulling over a hundred cars of different types.A crew man would come walking out the lead engine stepping off the stairs as the train creeped by eventually stopping the train and separationing the train to go drop off and or pick up new freight cars down the road .The crew member would disconnect the train cars and jump on the back of the boxcar latter with walkie talkies.giving instructions to the engineer .Some times the train took two hours to return to reconnect back to the rest of the train left behind.In the mean time another crew member would come walking from the rear of the part of the train left behind with his walkie talk and wait for the lead part of the train to return.When the lead part of the train was returning you could hear the diesel engines breaking down to a crawl with the guy hanging on the returning lead box car eventually slowing down the train thru rotating a lantern if dark out or by way of his walkie talkie and meeting up with the other guy to reconnect the train.Then one crew man would walk back to the lead engine to accompany the engineer as before.The other crew member who came walking earlier from the rear of the train would stand there as the train proceeded to move and always step up on the stairs of the caboose with his lantern in hand as the train rolled by.Never missing that step.Incredible action.My grand father told me the train tracks were straight from Wilmington all the way to hamlet no curves All that action took place .Before the seaboard ,Atlantic coast line merger or the family lines system, seaboard systems or the now CSX system.The diesel colors of seaboard then was black with the yellow stripe thin red out line stripe.That action happened six evening or afternoons a week,Sunday was the start up friday the train was shorter and never stopped to pickup or dropped off any cars.Saturday was quiet no train action.And if I woke up two o clock in the morning you would catch an empty train heading back in the other direction. Creeping by the house where the last street crossing was then constantly picking up speed you could hear the cars shaking and being yanked had to be doing at least 70mph.Alot of empty log carrying cars.The train mostly consisted of flat cars carrying farm tractors,a lot of timber or log carrying cars ,tank cars, box cars coal carrying cars etc etc.
Always welcome. I put your comment and a channel shoutout to Wide World of Trains on my community page on Special Agent Fox Mulder. Thanks for the dedication and great train films
Some videocamera's have amazing image stabilisation techniques. So far the best I've worked with are the Sony PXW-X70's and Sony HXR-NX3 and 5. The X70's are quite similar to Z90's from the same brand and use the same stabilisation techniques, which in 1920x1080 mode uses sensor cropping in active mode, sensor shifting, tilting and panning and an optical element moving counter to what you do, and in standard mode only uses sensor shift and the optical element. I have yet to come across a brand that does it even better than that, combined with careful walking it can look pretty good and smooth.
Hi I'm new to the channel and really like it! I'm a otr driver and every time I watch your videos it's like I'm waiting for the train to go by lol. I have alot of questions to ask you because I just think it's so awesome that you teach us about trains. When I figure out how to ask my questions I will ask okay lol!
So does the train crew man when finished putting the damage car on the side track and reconnecting the train have to walk back to the lead engine or hopefully there is a engine setup in the middle of the train to help get out the bad weather and save time walking .If they still had cabooses he could wait for it to come by and get in out the rain.
great videos again, I couldn't makeout the smoking hot box so it must of been on the other side, would have been nice to see them cutting those bad wagons out of such a big consist, detector doing its job, goodone mate.

Thank You Wide World Of Trains, We Believeing You
you probably need to set some chat rules for these premieres
Unique coverage of hot box procedures. The conductor really earned his pay in this video.
Yea he sure did

Hi,

I don't think you'd see the conductor in that position here in the UK. The Health and Safety police have taken over!
Very neat how when the telephoto zoom is used compressing the distance, then the small subtle changes in the grade appear to be much larger making the rails look uneven and wavey
Perfect.1:00
The Amtrak engineer was so nice
Thank you so very much for all your chasing the trains 🚂. 😅🇺🇸😎
Our pleasure!
Love watching the 🚆 trains
I see a gp 38-2 and gp 39-2 every day. Lots of them on the west coast short lines.
I love the sound of the trackd

Hard to count the trains and film them at the same time
Beautiful Scene , Very nice.

Testament to his video and the time he puts into it. I appreciate him.

I have noticed and wondered about that too., Good to know the tracks are not. warped, just an illusion.

that was fun to watch again

I wish I could give this video more than one like!
That one train might be smoking somewhere ❤
Must admit I do like a summer storm. We need those over the water from you right now!
It,s about time you heard it on your scanner,
Welp, it looks like the rain will cool off the hot box.
So much for train maintenance protocols.
Nice catch the Amtrak 50th anniversary heritage unit
Thanks!
Thankyou for going out even in the rain. I know how it is to work on rain but my circumstances is different.
Is it just me or does anyone else turn up the volume to hear “DPU alright” 😂?
yea sorry about that train hot box problem
but great triple meet and catching that short hopper train too and as well at hertige 100 on the lake shore limited
Theres a very old song for this video, "Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head".
Love the rain shots. Great video! Thanks.

Awesome video as always! The train that stopped the DPU was bouncing on down the tracks!! lol
Вау, 26:26 пассажирский тепловоз Amtrak в раскраске "50 лет компании Amtrak", также машинист помахал🚂👋
There is definitely a optical illusion they don't look like they are moving but they indeed are. Thanks
Wow how amazing was that video a very cool triple train meet and 2 DPU ALRIGHTS how awesome and cool
That’s some scary warped track around the 8-9 minute mark!!!
Turkey vultures! Cool
That was extremely interesting, thanks for all of your commentary and explanation, that is very much appreciated. Great triple-train meet! Too bad it was raining so hard. At least you stayed dry. It's good the conductor had his raincoat on.

Awesome videos again, cool DPU ALRIGHTS, cool Amtrack train, great job 👍 🙂
My goodness, but these tracks are so bumpy and uneven. It's amazing that there aren't more trains derail!!
Those turkey vultures are smarter than you think, they moved!!!
A disadvantage of those articulated cars: From where he is standing he will set off 5 units in front of him, or the three behind.
When the last west bound train passed the rear of the waiting train the signals turned to green so he started moving east.
Nice job! Bet that guy riding on one of the train cars got pissed when it started pouring on him. Thanks Mike
Great video thanks Mike
cool can't wait!
Seeing that guy perched on the cars as it is moving makes me appreciate how difficult/dangerous their jobs are.
Yes great point
Excellet 👌🏻 friend fantastic 😍 captures Awesome 😱 Like 👍🏻 Greeting 🙋🏻 Argentina 🇦🇷
That lens makes the track look twisted and the bed uneven

Thanks! 😃
The locomotive on that CSX GP39-2 is 4306.
sorry that i missed this i was at the football game
well if it did get hot enough to get noticed in the engine the rain might have cooled it off enough to get get going again.
I just saw a triple Dpu yesterday at the railroad crossing near my house alright
1:43 two trains together, after the mid d.p.u is a garbage train.... 🚂🚃🚃🚂🚃🚃
