This effects every town and state across America. Safety should be number 1 prior!!! Thank you this is in reference to Ron Batory with the FRA Removing the two person train crew rule and precise scheduled railroading known as (PSR)! They have been tripling up trains making them 3-5 miles long the blocking road crossings for hours on in blocking first responders now wanting one man or women to run the whole operation is absurd not to mention many of these people are veterans who have served this great nation who are now gonna be out of a job. This effects every town and state across America. We need to get the word out thanks for all the help. It is greatly needed. They are calling man vs machine. They even have an article to that shows from the FRAs own reports it’s unsafe research was done by Tennessee state university Support two person train crews keep America safe. You have all got this wrong when it come to 2 man crew verses one man crew. The airlines have had autopilot for years but still have two and 3 people in the cockpit. If Boeing has taught us anything technology fails. It’s all the workers do is worry about losing jobs. Its common sense thousands of railroad workers will lose their jobs if all the railroads are allowed to go to 1 man crews. That's an issue you need to take up with Politicians ! They claims they are creating jobs then let him do something about people keeping the ones they have! This is about safety. This is about saving lives. Not just crew lives but the American people as well. Don’t forget about the rule-making process that was invoked by then-FRA Administrator Joseph C. Szabo after an unattended 74-car freight train carrying crude oil ran downhill and crashed in the Canadian town of Lac-Mégantic, killing 49 people in 2013 that had just one man on the train! Hunter Harrison said on the record those extra set of eyes in the cab are valuable. PTC will not detect track issues or mechanical issues like bad order cars or prevent crossing accidents. Our rules change daily so if an engineer or conductor takes a day off or vacation who will job brief with each other on any newly updated rules that change. How about filling out an EC-1 as the train moves along the tracks or stop and flag a railroad crossing when they have an activation failure with the public crossing gates. We are suppose to job brief to make smart decisions taking the safer course. So if engineers are busy pushing buttons on a screen and reading train orders his eyes are in the cab. If they remove the conductor, it would be counterintuitive. So in my opinion one safety system cancels out the other. Now with ptc and full crew in the cab increases the safety of of train movement. Just plain old common sense. Railroads preach safety every single day. Its in their rule books and in their advertising. Its 24 hour a day safety...safety....safety. Well let them put their money where their mouths are. Pay for safety. Keep 2 men in the cab. Just like GM shutting down 5 plants putting 15,000 people out of work and pay there CEO 22 million. CSX on the other hand lost 41% of the business once Hunter Harrison took over cutting out almost half the work force from 27,893 people down to 15,362 people system wide and they paid him 385 million only to pass away 8 months later! With everything going automated from self check out lanes to manufacturing does anyone profit except share holders and CEOs!!!! The public has no idea what we deal with. Tell your neighbors about how many cars we hit and people are killed every year when they are hit by trains. Explain to them how the engineer is in the cab calling the dispatcher and getting 911 called. He is taking care of anything that may be wrong with the locomotive. He stays with the train. Tell them how the conductor gets down and rushes to the vehicle to see if he can possibly save a life. Maybe a baby is in the car and needs to be helped or maybe the parents can be removed and need CPR. Maybe he can comfort someone who is dying or in shock or screaming because they are severely injured . Tell them about how we hit live stock and large deer. Tell them how people love to put junk on the tracks. Shopping carts, bicycles, steel barrows, wheelchairs and even abandoned cars. A two person crew saved a child’s life wondering around on the tracks in Minnesota near midnight Saturday, Feb. 1, 2020. PTC didn’t help them. Tell them about how many trees we hit a year and do extensive damage to the locomotive. The engineer stays with the locomotives and assess the damage and does what is necessary to radio dispatchers for help while the conductors gets down and removes debris and check the rest of the train for any damage or signs of derailment. Tell them about the territory that is in the middle of TIM BUCK TWO! The places where no one can get to you fast unless you have a helicopter. How will they go bathroom now without two people to keep the train going down the tracks unless they have to stop not blocking crossings or take lunch. Tell them how radios don't always work in remote locations. Telemetry drops out and communication is lost. How many times does a conductor have to go back and trouble shoot another locomotive after alarms are going off. The engineer keeps the train rolling the best he can while the conductor checks the computers and checks to see if it is loading, traction motor faults or any other issue that may arise. Tell them about the blind curves that only one crew member can see around when your approaching public crossings or trees that block signals so that only one crew member can see them until you get the train right on top of them. Tell them about wash outs from floods, and heat warped rail and fog so thick you cant see a foot in front of you. SO WHAT IF YOU GOT PTC!! PTC does not tell you if a car in stopped on the tracks or a tree is across it or a person is walking in the tracks or there is 5 inches of water over the rail! Tell them how crew members have been attacked and some have even been killed by gang thugs and trespassers. A single man has no chance in these situations. It is better to have someone else with you to keep watch when working in bad areas and ghetto rail yards. The list goes on and on. Tell them how the company took away the right of the crew members to take a power nap. One crew member is supposed to call stopped every 15 minutes while they are waiting on line of road. As long as someone is awake and doing this and paying attention there is no reason on god green earth while a tired crew member cant take a 20 minute power nap. Tell them how crews are run into the ground and some are called out every 10 hours around the clock. They work all hours of the day and night and most have no weekends off. The company wont even let them have a power nap. What is going to happen when there is only 1 man on the train by himself and he is just plain worn out or is sick and afraid to take a day off because of the companies new attendance policy which is just absolutely insane. People come to work sick all the time. Vomiting, diarrhea, fevers and the flu doesn't stop them because they are in fear of losing their jobs. How is a sick man who is all by himself going to be able to make a full run safely and without risking his life or the publics when he doesn't have his other crew member to help keep him alert. The engineer has many roles and duties as well as the conductor. There are times when something happens that it is a must for an engineer to be on board and ready to take instructions while the conductor handles the rest of the responsibilities. There are so many things that go into railroading and running trains that the public doesn't know a thing about. THIS ONE MAN CREW IDEA IS THE MOST UNSAFE AND IRRESPONSIBLE IDEA that has ever been brought forward in the history of the railroad industry. And for what? To save a dollar. To line someone's pockets. To make someone rich. Who care who gets killed. If you think crossings are blocked now imagine if there was only one man and had to wait on someone to cut a crossing!Who care about the destruction to family lives. I don't know about you but I sure do and so should every person in America!

Superb video! Thank you for posting. Love BNSF! Aside from this being a TRAIN! I also wonder how much total horsepower there was? And would the two locomotives on the end peel off at a certain point, or will they continue?
BNSF trains can move one ton of freight nearly 500 miles on just one gallon of diesel fuel. Operate about 8,000 locomotives. About 6,000 are road locomotives, meaning they haul trains over long distances, and the rest are local, switch or yard locomotives.
No other form of land freight transportation is by its very nature more fuel- and resource-efficient than rail. On average, rail is more than three times as fuel efficient as over-the-road transportation options. BNSF trains can move one ton of freight nearly 500 miles on just one gallon of diesel fuel.
4:31 - All six motors in one shot, cool. Nice catch.
Thanks 😊
We’ve only been to Cajon Pass once, but what a beautiful place to see trains! Great video, thanks for sharing!
Need to visit tehachapi loop too
@@stripervince1 We’ve seen so many videos from there! It’s definitely in our list! Thanks for watching!
@@railroadfansandfun if you were at cajon, you were only a mountain range away maybe 70 miles from cajon. 395 N to 58 w at kramer junction
More videos coming my friends 😊 Thanks for watching!
One of my favorite spots!
Beautiful Video, Thanks for uploading.
The picture is so clear!!
Thank you 😊 more videos coming soon !
Awesome video Thanks for uploading 👍
Beautiful Hi rez video
Now I know why people try to beat the train at RR crossings
Excellent video, very well done and really cool area, and ya got the bonus horn show!!! Sub'd and Liked!!!
thank you :)
Awesome Video ..!
Really great video!!

You think this train is long? Search 18,000 ft stack train at pomona. Wait till you see that one
Amazing it's too long superb upload big thumbs up 👍
Thanks 😊
The engineer"s don't wave from the trains anymore, not like they did back in 1954, just a whole new world out there.
Words from Tom t. Hall song writer.
Ong amazing
So this is what they call Precision railroading?
yes
Thank bro
I could almost smell the brakes on that train.
Superb video! Thank you for posting. Love BNSF! Aside from this being a TRAIN! I also wonder how much total horsepower there was? And would the two locomotives on the end peel off at a certain point, or will they continue?
I think they continue
73 feet long
15 feet high
210,000 parts
Weighs an average of 480,000 pounds (112 large SUVs)
Holds 5,000 gallons of fuel
4,400 horsepower
BNSF trains can move one ton of freight nearly 500 miles on just one gallon of diesel fuel. Operate about 8,000 locomotives. About 6,000 are road locomotives, meaning they haul trains over long distances, and the rest are local, switch or yard locomotives.
Great video 👍👍
thanks:)
Nice manifest train.
❤ wow
Cool video
There's room for 6 wide.
How much fuel is consumed by the locomotive pulling this train
No other form of land freight transportation is by its very nature more fuel- and resource-efficient than rail. On average, rail is more than three times as fuel efficient as over-the-road transportation options. BNSF trains can move one ton of freight nearly 500 miles on just one gallon of diesel fuel.
Holds 5,000 gallons of fuel
Kind of a misleading title Karma more like clickbait but I still think it was a nice video
Sorry but still great video though
U❤😂 )
😂
😊
not a long train
Actually isn't wasn't that long
