John Kuehl was such a good conductor that I opted to not take a pilot with me when I was a freshly marked up engineer and caught John for a run up to Dunsmuir. He could tell you when all the undulations were coming as you're nearing Anderson. He could tell you how much air to set, where to stretch brake. That guy was a legend. Bill Toland was the GOAT as far as engineers go. Stiff competition though, with honorable mentions Greg "big brain" Milton, Teddy "rake the throttle notch 1 to 8 once the rear is movin, skin er back!" Parker, Harry.. aww man what was his last name. Lived in Elk Grove, retired around 2006 or so. Dude was golden, wish I could remember his last name... was it Graham? Harry Graham? Then of course we could never forget Danny Epps. Ay y'all remember Mike "just paintin murals with my own shit on the walls of my hotel room" Dennis? How about Jeff "Don't give him a can of Dinty Moore beef stew before a trip" Kuehl.. Man, I miss those days and also I don't. Life is so much better after leaving the RxR.

Sorry to hear you've had your head buried in the sand for so long. Spreaders part II has been out for over a half a decade now and we've also completed Rotaries Part 1 and Part II since then. See the link to Spreaders here: railfandepot.com/product/spreader-snow-plow-mega-machines-of-the-sierra/ You can find Rotaries, Avalanche on the Mountain on the same website.

11 years later... we're still waiting!

Anyway to still get these videos?

To bad this isn't in HD

I need to get me one of those for my driveway!!

Cool thanks mate

You don't hear any of that gender equality bullshit in that field of employment. It takes real operator's and nerves of steel to do that job.

Awesome

0:44 :-O That California Zephyr is overpowered with FIVE P42s on it for some reason!

Southern Pacific was running limited stack service over the Donner Line back in the 90's so idk if this was the first UP one or if they calm they brought that service because thats not true

Slip in a short clip of a model train, plowing snow, in a carefully scaled landscape. See if anyone notices.

The professional hobo is seasoned by winter catch-out and know the Flanger Cab interior layout already. Even if it wasn't moving anywhere soon. Look for a hobo tag. CZcams loco' catch-up isn't their problem.

What's the opening song? I like the foreboding feeling of it

Would be more impressive without the added noise.

Wow what a great video thank you so very much !!

Happy to see the Bear!

Good film !

I remember seeing this car in Popular Hot Rodding back in the late seventies. It was gorgeous then, and now. I believe it had the stock hood on it at that time.

That was pretty! Pretty in sight! Pretty dangerous with poor visibility! Pretty exciting! Pretty tough conditions! And of course, pretty interesting! Thank you.

The music to the video is so appropriate. Powerful. I am mesmerized by the videos.

Why you have to do it in 3 months? Snow doesn’t come that late and early in the Rockies.

Great,fantastic video thanks love watching people that know what they're

What's really crazy is that you have powerful machine and all that heavy metal spreading the snow and would think the snow does not stand a chance I bet that metal is feeling the pain along with the locomotive.

What kind of locomotives are those at 0:46? Those are some weird pantographs. And which railroad is that?

Super 👌 journey....💞 From India 🇮🇳

What's it on top of locomotive?

I can watch this video over and over. I love it.

i give up, there never coming out with part two :( and its a shame cuz it looks better then part one

did come out but does not have the newer footage that you see in this trailer :(

I love donner area i been on amtrak threw there 3 times indeed

I grew up in Truckee. great to watch thanks.

I would think having another car after the flanger would help stabilize it and hold it from swaying..?

While 844 was running in California on April 2009 where was challenger 3985 and big boy 4014 then

Met the man once in Van Nuys. He was nice enough to help sync the carbs on my brothers White 55 Chevy back in the mid seventies. He saw that we were tricked into a race with a 340 Duster, that was a full on race car, and trailered in.. We won! Thumb up for Howard!

When 844 was running in California in the year of 2009 where was challenger 3985 and big boy 4014 then

👍👍👍👌👌👌😉🇾🇪

Where is Donner Pass?

donner pass is the longest tunnel for southern pacific railroad and crews of the southern pacific sometimes suffocate in smoke because there using steam locomotive but that was backthen in the 1950's. rosville yard is the yard for sp but there is one big problem on the yard one train is carrying bombs and the surface was very hot soo the wheels were hot soo the bombs exploded on roaeville yard and then they discovered another bomb then jt exploded again to watch what i see watch this vid heres the title tough times on the southern pacific

maybe one day they really will come out with part two

i wish they would release this video but looks like its not going to happen, maybe cuz of the 2011 rotary video

Great views. Thanks.

Amazing

so , there is a blade in front , and a blade in back????

My first fear would be the train hitting an ice chunk and derailing. Then you gotta hope to be near civilization or be in for a long, cold night.

not sure part two is ever coming out, or part two of the spreader snow plow
