BNSF with Caboose! Local & Freight Trains at Saginaw Texas
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 жов 2024
- Saginaw, Texas is a railfan hotspot at the intersection of two BNSF mainlines and one Union Pacific. Many different types of locomotives can be seen on the local trains serving the many industries or on the transfers between BNSF's Saginaw and North Yards. One train had, to our surprise, a clean, graffiti-less Burlington Northern green caboose!

It was nice to sit at a location for a couple hours and not see one GEVO roll by. I was also impressed how clean and sharp BNSF keeps the locomotives! Train information below (I did not get a symbol on every train).
Train 1: BNSF 504 north. This local went north on the Fort Worth Sub, then onto the wye at CP 3548, over to CP 11 on the Wichita Falls Sub. BNSF B40-8W 504 (Dash-8-40BW)
BNSF GP39M 2899 (BN paint)
BNSF SD60M 1423
BN 10715 Caboose / Shoving platform on the rear.
Train 2: Y-ALT1041 heads south onto the transfer from the Fort Worth Sub to the Wichita Falls Sub, bound for North Yard. One of the few SD45-2 carbody locomotives is leading.
BNSF SD40-2 1576
BNSF SD60M 1476
Trains 3: A NB grain train snuck up faster than we thought with a nice pair of H2 locomotives.
BNSF C44-9W 5281 (Dash-9-44CW)
BNSF SD70MAC 8951
Trains 4 & 5: Taken earlier in the morning, I put these clips at the end of the video because I didn't find them as interesting, although it shows a view of the north end of Saginaw yard. Of interest, though, is the Ferromex SD70ACe and the clean pair of H3 SD75M's on the Y-NYF3051.
BNSF C44-9W 4389
FXE SD70ACe 4024
BNSF SD75M 261
BNSF SD75M 266

Thanks for watching! Central Penn Rail Productions 2019
WOW !!! That brings back so many memories
Living in Upstate New York I remember the green Burlington northern locomotives and boxcars and cabooses on the d&h tracks
Wonderful video! I see a lot of cabooses at the Springfield Missouri railyards also.
Saginaw has always been my go-to when I railfan in Dallas/Fort Worth. Good action, interesting power on the locals, convenient parking, and the massive grain elevators make a nice backdrop. Looks really nice in 4k!
Thank you!
Great shots of the train loved it good filming, thanks for sharing.
Great record of railway activity, beautiful video!!!
👍👏👏📹👏👏👍
Nice power!
That caboose was just plain awesome! I thought I was already subbed to you but it showed that i wasnt. UA-cam must have unsubbed me but I subbed back. That happened to another channel that I watch.
Thanks Brian! And that's okay haha, sometimes I forget to hit subscribe even if I watch 1000 videos from someone. Thanks for subscribing!
Good stuff thanks for sharing. Nice to see those EMD units still working . Big fan of them . Cool to see the caboose as well.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Nice Work! Love the Maps! I live close to Saginaw and I even picked up some Tips :)
Thank you!
I agree; the maps are a great visual resource for the videos and provide a better understanding of operations.
Great video and catches! A bit unusual to see a BNSF crossing with a WCH e-bell.
Yeah, I noticed that too. Each crossing is in close proximity to UP so maybe that's why, although the one at McLeroy Blvd is purely a BNSF crossing. At Industrial Avenue, I'm standing in the gap between BNSF and UP, the one there is clearly coming from the UP side.
@@CentralPennRailProductions A few WCH e-bells have cropped-up on other BNSF crossings before, so I think BNSF may have trialed them once. Either way, it's certainly unusual to see.
Nice catches! I like the caboose the Burlington Northern paint scheme on the EMD GP39M and on the caboose! Really nice!
Yeah, it's neat to see all the BN painted stuff that has survived this long. Thanks for watching/commenting!
@@CentralPennRailProductions You're welcome!
BNSF has a caboose I see often on the Mykawa sub on the south side of Houston - they use the caboose to transport workers/crews between various yards.
Nobody rides in a caboose.. just use them as a shoving platform these days.
@@Bp3nn Every time I see that caboose on the move, going to or from the main BNSF yard, there are 2 or 3 guys riding on the platform at the back.
@@michaelinhouston9086 yeah we use them as a platform.. doors are locked up.. easier/safer to ride them instead of hanging onto the side of a car
@@michaelinhouston9086 yard jobs working and switching industries
@@Bp3nn Thanks for the info. I always get a kick out of seeing the caboose. I assumed that the caboose transport was a safety/regulatory/efficiency issue and I figured they rode on the platform because it would be hot as hell inside with no A/C - lol. Keeping that caboose locked up makes sense - it would be a huge temptation for trespassers. I always wanted to buy a caboose and put it in my backyard but my neighbors would raise hell about it.
Great catch !!!
Nice BNSF Power Looks Like A Burlington Northern Caboose
2899 looks awesome
Excellent video my friend 😍👍
Thank you!
4-axle wide cabs still look funny.
Interestingly, half the rail traffic Saginaw gets doesn't pass the chamber. Once you get up north of CP 11, say around the Avondale Haslet area, you'll start seeing everything. Lot of intermodals around here go unnoticed until one sees them rounding the wye towards Alliance about a good mile to mile and a half away from the chamber
Great video! What kind of camera do you video with?
Sony FDR-AX100
🚂🚂Awesome 👍🇮🇳👍 Video 🚂🚂🚂🚂
I'll have 2 stop on by
Be nice if you caught the whole train before moving around.
