Welcome to Southern Plains Railfan. I make videos about trains and all the interesting stuff that goes along with them. I have always had an interest in the railroad but never really had anyone to share that interest with. In 2021 I discovered the world of railfanning and my little fascination exploded into a full blown hobby, and it has been nothing but a joy.

Today we learn about a very peculiar locomotive used to transport experimental nuclear equipment. It weighted over 200 tons (despite only being 45ft long), had windows that were 4ft thick, and traveled on tracks with four rails.

Don't forget Australia's first powered railroad. Located in Tasmania, it was 8km long, ran on timber rails and was powered by convicts who pushed the wagons along. OH! You did mention it. Well done you!
While the rest of the world went for high speed rail we went for big and long to accomodate our resource rich country
💯 I was working on a 3d model and was asking exact this question. Thank you for explaining 🙂
cheesy we need to switch!

Locomotives Shops is BNSF Trains immortal power and repaint that's Was a long time ago on Santa fe.
I've seen a few B40-8Ws switching at Barstow. I saw 500 and 521 in pretty fresh paint back in Feburary, 2024. I haven't seen them since though, don't know if they got moved somewhere or if they're hiding in the yard. SD40-2 pairs and SD40-2 slug sets are what they use the most here.

I looked up Lamb Weston, it's a huge global company. It's biggest customer are McDonald's and Yum! Brands so just about every person in the world has, at one time or another, consumed their products. Now I have track down a few of their refrigerator cars in ho.
Hey man love your videos since I’m in NS territory it’s nice to see the power out west where you are and plus I think I could sit down all day and just watch your videos love the stuff you do man keep it up❤️🚂🤟
hello southern plain railfan i have a question why have you stop uploading because i love your content

I wonder what railroad this could be 🤔
Emerald puffing billy, (vic, steam), walhalla railways scenic goldfields railway (vic, diesel - although they want steam), Coalcreek's (or might be soverign hill, memory vague here) 'bushranger' rail ride (vic, steam?) and Gippslands "Snow train" (vic, steam) are all other esoteric rail services. Additionally on the same rail as the snow train there is several steam services, which I assume are the snow train too, but they seem to run several times a year.
For those who criticize these men by saying they have never done physical labor, I have done physical labor all my life, just not driving spikes. The standard is 3 strikes to a spike to completely drive it home. I would like to see you "experts" try it. I have tried and I know I can't do it. Don't be judgmental assholes. You don't know their work history, so don't assume based only on this. If you think before you speak you'll look less stupid!
As an aussie, that was a damn good summary of railway history here. Only think I will add is on the topic of locally sourcing trains. Strangely, locomotives in particular have been built almost exclusively locally with the occasional exceptions. Some good examples of this is Clyde engineering, who build thousands of locos for almost every state under license from EMD. They basically use EMD parts but in locally designed bodies that in effect resemble US EMD products built to the Australian loading gauge (effectively longer and lower), including the brilliant AT26C CL class (SD40 equipment in a streamlined cab with angled roofing), and younger JT26C-2SS boxcabs, as well as the spectacular GT26C C class. Clyde was bought by Downer EDI in the 90s who made some brilliant stretched and lowered SD70ACes (GT46C-ACe) as well as some lighter 3000hp narrow gauge units for multiple companies in QLD and WA, although they ceased production and now similar products are imported from PR in the US (interestingly using the EDI design as a base). Theres also UGL Rail who have built around 200 4000hp C44aci locos under license from GE, and these locos form the backbone of the mainline standard gauge network along with some older Cv40-9i models.
In-case you were not aware, it is considered disrespectful to post images of deceased Australian first nations people, which is likely to be the case with older footage.
All the engineers that got to operate these trains got the honor of knowing they were the BEST and everyone else had to yield to them not to mention they got to their destination fast and got to go home early most likely.
13:31 that train was actually 4 trains, each about 1800m (1.1 miles) long pulled by two engines, all connected together with two sets of drivers, lead and 3rd set.

fun fact: BNSF 2042 Was actually rescued by an unknown person and was restored to where it can run so basically if BNSF see's this then it might get storage again
Ahh man the Norfolk sh*tshow!
I honestly don't get the fascination with trains, as they are intrinsically limited to where they can go. What is the fascination with them?
Came for the transportation, staying for the narration! Your voice, accent and beautiful enunciation are 🔥🔥🔥
Every few months I am a bit shocked to see a locomotive that remains in the blue and gold Santa Fe paint scheme. Makes me smile and I hope the locos stay that way.
Bro called 45 seconds a trip 💀
Dang this guy knows a lot..Well done Sir!
i think the c and b refers to the numbers of wheels on each side of the axel and for example B40-8W B means there's two wheels and each side of the axel and b is the 2nd letter of the alphabet 40 means 4000 horsepower 8 means the dash 8 series was built in the 80's and lastly the W means wide cab.
Noted that BNSF 625 have some red paint
How often do trains run through there?
i would like to see the old atsf sd40_2s repatied in there former glory
