Travel through a 1300-foot railroad tunnel. Rare video footage.

Rare view normally only seen be railroad crews. Going through this tunnel is one of the things I miss most about being an engineer. I was always fascinated at how this was constructed. Many years ago, the tunnel had collapsed. The Army corps of engineers wanted to dig the top of the hill off. The railroad decided to dig another tunnel alongside of the old one.

31 years on the railroad. A lot of great memories, some great, some sad, and some tragic. This video captures amazing memory of almost being scared out of life itself. Many more video memories to come.

This video covers an eight hour journey in 54 minutes. We will cross over a lift bridge and a swing bridge, and we also travel through a 1300 foot tunnel. Most of the questions ever asked to an engineer are answered in this video. If you know someone who has worked on the railroad encourage them to see this video. PLEASE LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE.... If you're interested in learning more about railroa...
Not just KIDS!…👏👏Freight trains are busy around Denver! Night horns, white noise, leave windows open, great for “snooze”inducing, and turning off your brain!
now that was cool to see
Some very beautiful views!
Lock and dam number 2 is at Hastings, Mn. which is where this train crosses the Mississippi Rive. Lock and dam number 3 is at Redwing, Mn.
Thanks for nice ride, sir! Very informative for a non railroad worker…BRAVO!
Then I'm kiddo anytime of the day... being 46
I very much enjoyed the ride and your narration. Loved it....! Thank you!
I can testify that this story is true and I would do it again😅
That is a pretty funny story. I follow some truck driving channels and when the say "the boss is calling" they are really referring to their wife. LOL
how true. never get in the way of a mother protecting her cub
Certainly a scary story. Glad to hear nothing bad happened to you. Thanks for sharing!
my pleasure. Next video is a funny story when my wife called while on a train.
That is a great story. Was catching a ride on a train a common thing? Does it still happen? What happens to someone if they get caught doing that?
Riding a train was a common years ago. Of course, when the government gets involved the legality of riding a train became an issue. Yes it does still happen this present day and it is with the hope of not getting caught. Their is a variety of charges that can be brought, trespassing is the most common charge. Thanks for your interest.
Yes,they are still there. There are even CZcams content providers that "ride the rails".
I can't believe I got sucked into that punch line 🤦♂️
Love this video
John 15:13 “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. John 3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Romans 10:9-10 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. John 3:18 “He that believeth in Him is not condemned; but He that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. Psalm 14:1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Wow we thoroughly enjoyed that train ride with you! Very informative and scenic. We wish you'd make more!
Im currently a truck driver but im interested in trains. Ive been contemplating getting into the train business. I just dont know if the money would be much different & how stressful it is compared to trucking....
I'm a retired aircraft mechanic who has always had a passion for trains. This is a fantastic video!! This 63 year old kid loved it!!
What year was this? Early 2000's ?There are SOO LINE locomotives still painted in the red and white sceem. Nice video. Cars on the road also make this about 20 + years ago.
His definition of FRED was particularly correct. Most of us refer to FRED as a F..flashing R..rear E..end D..device.
Fantastic video!
Sometime in the next few years, this train will no longer be needed, as the Portage Wisconsin power plant is due to be decommissioned. I believe this will happen in 2026. Another sad day for the railroad and the coal mines out west
Interesting/informative/entertaining. Excellent photography job enabling viewers to better understand what the orator is describing. Enjoying this presentation from the comfort zone of my computer room. Along the " Space Coast " of Florida🐊🐊. Wishing viewers/R.R. employees a safe/healthy/prosperous ( 2024 ). 🌈🎉😉. Remember the singing break man Jimmy Rogers Sept. 1897-May 1933 He was a genuine R.R. breakman.
Glad you enjoyed it!
54 year old rail fan. Awesome video!
Thank you very much!
I saw only two locomotive units at the front of the train. Were there more either in the middle or at the end of the cars? Entertaining video!
I shot this video almost 20 years ago. on the train I was operating for this video there was only two locomotives. Operating with additional locomotives either in the middle or on the end of the train was not a common practice yet... thankyou again for watching this video.
People need to quit complaining about train horns the railroads where there before you moved in to the house close to the track. Learn to live with the train horn or move! The train horn is designed for safety to tell you a train is approching the crossing. Its an accident waiting to happen and they will.
I know a woman who “drove trains” as she put it, then became a Respiratory Therapist at Stanford, working with very young patients. She enjoyed this but she returned to “driving trains”. I’m not sure why but she was happy.
What a great, educational and entertaining video
thankyou. Very glad you enjoyed it.
I well thanks
I’m 18 years old, and I love this video. The sound of those AC4400CW’s is amazing.
the newer locomotives are well insulated for sound. when I first started in the 70s there was no insulation, it's surprising any of us have retrained any ability to hear.
@@markmckinney6339 I heard the AC4400’s are pretty well insulated, next to their older counterparts like the dash 7. It’s still a very state of the art, and modern locomotive these days. Definitely my favourite. Also CP has been steadily upgrading these locomotives with new GEVO style fuel tanks, better insulation, and a new Mitsubishi electric system. CP began receiving these in 1995-2004, so I spent my whole childhood growing up around these. Holds a very special place in my heart because these were involved in my first major memories rail fanning.
I thought that FRED was a flashing rear end detector
you are correct. instead of detector it is device.
For 60 years, I've wondered what it would be like to ride in a locomotive. This is a great video! Thank you!
Very cool video
Thanks!
This is the best train cab ride ever posted!
that is an awesome compliment. thanks
very imformative and fun, thank you
Great video, thanks! (am a former Conrail engineer btw)
Great video.
Enjoyed the video. Thanks for making it
FRED= Flashing Rear End Device.
Strange setup on the block lights, at least in regards to the signals on the UP and BNSF here in Texas.
Thanks for the video.
The train's bell is nice but I much prefer the whistle. I saw three different cabooses parked at sidings along the way. This video was fun and educational. Thanks a lot!
Very informative, thank you. 81yo here and notice not a lotta "kids" commenting... hmmnn wonder why that is? You know I was watching another train video and the camera man showed a switch switching. This was a train powered by overhead electricity but imagine diesel power has similar technology regarding switches. Anyhow I could not believe how quickly those switches operate it looked to me like they actually "bend" the switching tracks (looked like they were made atta rubber)!
Very Very interesting video. I really enjoyed it,it made me feel like I was really riding on a train because that's the closest I'll ever get to getting on a train.
need more i so much enjoyed it.
I am 72 I really enjoyed your ride I felt like I was there I was a truck driver it reminded me of my youth thanks for your video Julio from california
Awesome video!!! Love the view and how you can hear those engines. I have loved trains since I was 6 years old and an engineer stopped in our little town and let my brother, Dad, and myself in the engine! We got to blow the horn and it moved the train just a little bit! Rail fan for life! He even gave us 50 cent pieces . Will never forget it! Thank you for giving us so much information. I didn’t know lot of train regulations, etc . I will definitely let my 2 year old granddaughter watch this video! She loves trains 🚂 already!!!
Yep that it does
A wonderful ride 😍 Thanks for sharing ✅
Does the increasing weight of the locomotives require putting in upgraded ballast and ties?
Excellent video and very informative. Really enjoyed it and learned a lot. Thank you!
Don't know why nobody uses the Megapound as a unit. That's a 30 megapound train. It just sounds so much more impressive!
