Imagine you got a cab tour of it
that’s not a heritage
Awesome catch. Caught it leading NS 24A
Awesome catch catching this heritage unit on this limited leading in charge Nice catches with these other trains too
Awesome catch catching heritage 145 on this limited working with 86 Good horn show too Great to see private cars on there train too
awesome spot
Thanks 👍
Some people man... nice video!
Thanks!
That’s hot!
For those wondering, these gates are brand new and this train here is P371
Too bad 108's K5LA of 90's nostalgia is replaced, but the Raised Letter K5LA it has here sounds very confident and firm. Nice catches!
Thanks!
15:38 that was csx m326
Thank you!
4 rails, one horn, it's not always 1 horn. It just sounds like one horn i'm on. And since it takes about a mile for them to stop that's not a good way to behave
Yep! Gates had just gone up after an EB passed and just a few seconds later went back down for the Amtrak. No one wanted to wait the 45 seconds
Unfortunately, one day, that will become a self correcting problem
Got that right!
That's a sharp looking unit with a cool sounding P3.
Indeed! Thanks for visiting
Great heritage unit catch and nice video
Thank you very much!
You're welcome
even as a indians fan, this was beautiful to watch
that was cool when you just walked to the other tracks and the other train was coming!! Good Catches!
Thanks!
❤
What a cool unit! Awesome catch 👍
Thank you very much!
Years ago, 1950s, my wife's grandfather was the maintenance superintendent of the NY Central from Michigan City to Gary Division.
That's awesome, bet he had some great railroading stories!
Beautiful ending touch!
Thanks!
Yea nice catches catching these 2 limiteds and these freights
Thanks!
See that train twice a day
Nice! Same here, but I rarely catch #30 in the evening here
@@bigjayusmc have a station in my town
Totally awesome video!!! Love to watch trains running fast!!! 👍🏼
Thank you very much!
At Needles, California Station, the Amtrack stops for 5 minutes, nobody usually getting on or off. It's in the middle of the night, so there's that. Also, freight crews CA:AZ change here, so maybe Amtrack does also?
There is a stop there, but probably not a very busy one lol. It's possible they do a crew change there, I'm not that familiar with that part of the route.
Ok which conductor farted?
🤣
I will be on the Southwest Chief on July 11th train 3
Nice, enjoy the ride!
Wow, what an amazing video!
Glad you enjoyed it
It’s his bedtime on the train
La Plata, home of the Platform Nazi's who think nothing of railfanners's getting in the way of passengers (only passengers should be allowed on the platform - you wanna watch the trains fine, but do it somewhere else and NOT on the platform) - one station I"ll NEVER goto
Thanks for watching! That wasn't my experience at all. Everyone was very welcoming, very talkative, and welcomed railfans from all over. Made a bunch of new friends while there on the platforms
No cafe on 371?
Not riding amtrak for a long while after they abandoned me thanks to the Mendon, MO derailment of 2022. No alternative transportation was provided and no ETA on when I could get a seat to my destination with no accommodation attempted or made. It took arbitration to be made, "Whole." It is unbelievable how poorly they treat ticketed and confirmed passengers accessing rural station stops when something goes wrong. Budget airlines, public transportation, and essential air routes are more dependable and accommodating... Can Coach passengers access the dining car yet? That was a covid rollback of service that had not resurfaced as of 2022... just microwaved hamburgers and pizza until they ran out about 30 hours into their trips... followed by no food for coach for the remainder of the trips. Happened all the time in 2022 as passenger numbers returned to normal. Have not been on these trains since... These long distance trains have had their day. It is well past time to retire them. Until then, the emaciated superliners from the 1970s will continue to haunt the rails with their hopelessly obsolete HVAC systems and powder rooms.
Agreed, I was supposed to be on this train that zoomed by..but it was cancelled earlier. No alternate transportation. So i had to book another night in my hotel, and rebook my Amtrak ticket for the next day. luckily there was 1 ticket available or I would have needed to pay for 2 nights hotel. Yes, Coach can dine in the dining car now and cafe cars seemed fully stocked and are restocking along the routes. Probably didn't happen during covid.
that car was NOT a railfaner
Such beautiful horn music!!!
Great catches of these Amtraks
Thanks!
What an awesome compilation!!! Like 3. 👍🏼
Thanks a lot!
Only 1 retro painted engine , one normal and one new.
I had always wondered how they ship those turbine blades. I know UPS won't accept them.
Getting repainted to CDOT 666x something
The Chief #4 was canceled due to the second engine coming off the rails near KC, which is why it didn’t stop.
Yep, I was scheduled to be on it earlier that morning. Got an alert that it came off the rails west of Topeka. Was glad to see they were deadheading it back while I was still there.
That was odd deadhead equipment move. Also with just 1 engine. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Yes it was. They removed the derailed p42 from the consist so only had the 1.
Sweet catch of train 3 and windmill train!!! 👍🏼
Thanks!
All that "music" made me smile!
Awesome, thanks for watching!
Awesome catch catching this rescue train of this limited towing this long distance train after 144 had some kind of trouble on the capital one
Man! A once in a lifetime catch of just about everything Amtrak can throw together in a single train! And on an incredibly beautiful day, to boot! That blue sky was a perfect background for the colorful train. Thanks for sharing this great catch! 😂🎉
Thank you!!
Awesome catch! I caught 144 leading 29 the day before. I overheard on my scanner that the A/C was not working and the engineer had to keep the doors open while the train was moving to let cool air in.
That was incredible!! I've seen the same when the Pacific Surfliner has trouble in Southern California. Awesome!! 👍🏼👏🏼😁
Awesome! Is this shot on iPhone 15? That zoom is 👌🏻
Thanks, Galaxy s23 ultra
Excellent video really enjoyed it keep up the great work thanks again and have a wonderful day
Glad you enjoyed it, you too!
There were 29 carts on that train
