:38 wicked cool! Cabless 6 axle power! As far as railfanning goes these are the finest days of r/r action right here! The mixed consisting is truly a sight to behold. Today all we see are the same consists over and over and over... boring! Thanks for sharing, yank!
+Russell Streak Units from one railroad often appear on another carrier's lines, either as temporary leased units or as "run-through" power. In this case the Conrail power had run through from the eastern US. Work provided by the run-through units is tracked in horsepower hours by metering the kilowatt hours in electricity generated by the locomotive. Then a corresponding number of horsepower hours or other compensation would be provided to that locomotive's owner in return. I see plenty of both BNSF and Union Pacific units on Norfolk Southern and CSX rails here in Georgia.
Oh, okay. That would explain the BNSF hood trio I saw down in Maryland a few months ago. Also, you get Union Pacific diesels? Lucky, I'm tired of seeing CSX whenever a freight goes by. I wish the Santa Fe would've kept their Bluebonnet scheme. It looks league better to me.

I love the locomotive lash-up at 2:15. I think the bnsf now, would drop a nut if they had that many locomotives running on one train.
hmm, you should see some bnsf trains, i've seen ones with 8 or so locomotives.
very good catch.

Question, what in that Conrail at 1:27 doing in Cajon?! I thought Conrail was an Eastern system.

+yankinga NS power is unusually abundant on UP lines here in Cali, so a little quid pro quo, as you said.
ChachaChapati Really?
Russell Streak Yeah, watch any UP video in the L.A. area.
