Trains 2

[Aussie Oldtimer]

Anyone have train videos of southern US, east bound outta LA area?
Those are long.
How about Amtrak passenger?
We only get the standard coal trains through Colorado Springs. Usually 100 plus cars, but all coal

How about train videos from across the pond or Australia?
I would love to see some of the coast to coast trains from Australia or even the road trains.

Anyone??

BHP Billiton used to run iron ore trains of 336 car length, 44,500 tonnes of iron ore, over 3 km long, six to eight locomotives including intermediate remote unit.

For accuracy, NS is Norfolk Southern.

are you sure?

 

[W2EJ]

are you sure?

It was the result of a merger of the Southern RR and the Norfolk & Western.

 

[Roy Rogers]

Oh yea your absolutely right

Looks like it is 72 containers in length which all look to be 53’ containers so my guess would be approximately 3816’ in length minus the motive power.

I've just had a count - twice - and got 78 cars!

bloody brilliant flying skills, the way he manoeuvred through that metal bridge, unbelievable

Now going back to that train, I’m just fascinated with the length of those things, crazy long...

Nice video but it's NORFOLK Southern not Northern.

OMG! You're a LOT better drone pilot than I am. I would never attempt such acrobatics.

btw, I live about ten miles from a town that has l--o--n--g coal-hauling trains pass through it a few times every day - I mean, over 100 cars long. When they go through - always v-e-r-y slowly - they shut down traffic on the main roads and eliminate ambulance and fire services for half the town.

Your video has inspired me to shoot some drone footage of them.

 

[Roy Rogers]

We're looking forward to viewing them !

I'll post up a video link, hang on . . .

Here . . . Pilbara ore train, Western Australia, June 2018

Interestingly, the World record length train was on this very line, a BHP ore train in 2001.
682 loaded iron ore wagons and 8 GE AC6000 locos giving a gross weight of almost 100,000 tonnes and moved 82,262 tonnes of ore, the train was 7.353 km (4.568 miles) long.

This is even longer than my clip, it's in real time start to finish 8 minutes.

Fantastic. I loved it. World record at that!

Gross comparison
Reminders me of a past wound. Everything just kept coming out!

If you're into trains, you'll like this one. It's sort'a long because there were * a lot* of engines. They were near Benson, Az. I'm told they're gone now.

Wow incredible, they looked ok but obviously obsolete and awaiting scrapping somewhere, or possibly out there just taken somewhere to rust away.

[Roy Rogers]

Have yall seen that video of the train that's all engines ?

 

[DocShultz]

It would be cool to see a hyperlapse of that train passing by.

 

[Hawkwind]

I like this a lot.
