I fell asleep and woke up and the same train still going by 🤪
The sound lulls you to sleep. :)
Now this is what I call a train! Thanks for bringing this to us. Loved it.
Imagine being late to work and you get stopped by a train for 4 minutes
bruh if only this train was going at restricting speed
You’d be surprised at how light some of these intermodal trains can be. Regardless of the tonnage, 4 AC locomotives were right where they belonged.
That's one of the longest trains I've ever seen. 4 Diesel powered locomotives hauling about 180 carriages. Incredible.
Don't call it train just say great wall of China just pass from here.
Lmao
And ironically most of the stuff on that train is probably from China.
True
LMAO TRUE ALSO ITS FUNNYZ
Hahahaha

That was a big boy. The fact that you were able to get such a long video from a train going that fast is actually pretty amazing !!!
The long approach adds a full minute to the video, then its all train. :)
4 engines+178 cars I counted... Approximately 3.6 km!
3600m holy sht!
Estimating an average of 25m per vehicle with a total of 180 this would be 4.5km. The engine is like 18m and the cars are much longer.
Estimating roughly 70km/h and 4,5 Minutes travel time would make 5,25km.
Anyways that train is just massive. Only concerned about crossing security and braking paths.
2.2 miles
i just wonder is it real or not. How can a engine pull 178 cars...
@@a590631 Not 1 engine! All 4 engines would have been supplying power! No way only one engine could pull that many cars at that speed. In trains of that size, all engines must be supplying power.
Awesome! My dad was a train driver when I was a little boy so this is mesmerizing to me. Thanks for uploading.
Lots of railroad guys up this way too. Thanks for watching, JJ & Jason
I can’t stop watching this. This is great.
177 wagons + 4 locomotives ! Respect !
178
@@AndrePereira-tw5vsi counted 177
This is for me hands down the greatest train video ever!! Very impressive!! Simply amazing 😉
Thanks but I have better ones. lol This is my fav: czcams.com/video/cd5k5Phxcl8/video.html
For railfans, this is a great video. And for an environmentally consious one, it shows how much truck mileage can be reduced when shipping is done by rail.
Railroads on average, move one ton of freight nearly 500 miles per gallon of fuel. Cheers & thanks, J
Oh my god.... The longest train ever I have ever seen..... It was just amazing
Thank you for dropping by! JJ & Jason
Very evenly distributed power. Less strain on the couplers. All under the control of a 2 person crew. Its all about moving as many "cans" as possible as cheaply as possible. Well done.
Never seen a train so long! Amazing!
Wow. 2 mid train DPUs separated among cars. Fantastic video
177 wagons and 4 locomotives, wow!! 👏👏👏
Carles G. 177 Intermodal Cars And 4 Ac4400Cw Canadian Pacific Diesel Locomotives.
Very Very Large!!
@@pokeyrailfanning they weren't all Intermodals.
Beautiful. That's a big train for that kind of power and DPU set-up. Great video.
Just unbelievable. I have never seen a train with three DPU’s. I really hope to see something like this one day
¡¡ 177 Wagones y 4 LOCOMOTORAS !!! . Bárbaro . Bendiciones desde URUGUAY 🇺🇾❤🇺🇾❤🇺🇾
One of the longest trains I have ever seen. Great capture!
Imagine that each of these flat cars are carrying the loads of two trucks on the highway!

Jason
Why weren't the DPUs all MUd together instead of being spread out?
Hola
Sounds like a dumb question. But I was curious, as someone who doesn’t know much about the field... are there conductors/operators in each of those Engines to make sure there running properly?
The lead unit is manned the DPU's are controlled by the engineer in the lead .
@@dsmith3818 maybe because if the engine were all put together the pulling load of all the freight would be there on the first link and would be lowest on the last link. This probably distrbutes all the stress on all the links
I chase CP trains configured like this on the old Soo Line Paynesville sub in Minnesota although they’re not nearly this long and consist mostly of empty grain hoppers. It’s a real challenge to get ahead of them. In the Soo Line days they would run with just enough power to barely get the trains over the hills on the roller-coaster track. The engines were working so hard it looked like they were grinding up mountain grades on track that was maybe 1%. That’s no longer the case as CP spent tons of money to get train speeds up and then provide more than enough power to run them at 50+ mph. It’s always a little unnerving when the mid-train DPU shoots by at flank speed in the middle of light, high center-of-gravity grain cars, many of them old Pullman Standards. To watch the transformation of the old 30mph Soo Line into the new 50 mph CP was a mixed blessing as it became apparent that the days of the easy train chasing were gone. There wouldn’t be much hope of playing catch-up to this train, would there?
I can't rememeber a time when the Paynesville sub was ever 30 mph! Must have been WAY before my time and I have been running trains on that sub for over 20 years. Track speed from humboldt to Hammel was 25, Hamel to mp87 40 nad mp87 to Glenwood was 60. We were restricted to a max of 45 mph due to "fuel conservation". Hunter never spent any money upgrading any of the subdivisions on the property. If someone said its not safe or no, he would terminate them on the spot! We are running trains in excess of 10,000 feet and 18,000 tons with two units!
@@IFLYBELLah yea good ol' hunter harrison... his PSR bull crap is stronger than ever... NS ceo shaw bragged in december about how NS lowered their operating ratio by 530 basis points which in turn generated $10 BILLION for SHAREHOLDERS off the backs of a crap load of canned workers... i worked for the chicago and northwestern as a switchman, hired on in 93... back then if we had a 12,000 ton manifest my jaw dropped... ANYTHING 18,000 tons was coal train/potash train/ etc type trains... and even then 18,000 tons was way way excessive... PSR has gone WILD
176 cars double stacked. Thats close to 340 containers. Amazing.
@Prathamesh Pimputkar don't forget, many of those wagons had 2 20' cans on the bottom. I wasn't counting too closely, but I'd hazard a guess at 380-390 containers in total...
Danke, dass du dieses wundervolle Video hochgeladen hast.
Fantastic video, thanks a lot!
Thanks for watching! J
As JayJr pointed out nearly all the wagons are double stacked so not 7000 tons may be 14000 tons sorry if my mis calculation caused any problems
That's a huge train.
322, including doubles
Thanks I was wondering how many.
Great video. Thanks for posting.
Plenty of power needed in this 181 car (overall including locomotives) lashup. The ES44AC's do a great job. I like how the locomotives are in different sections of the train, front, 1/3, 2/3, and rear. But 6x SD40-2's would be better, much more noise!
It seemed the distributed power was perfectly matched strategically for this train. Much despised but top notch railroader Hunter Harrison when he was CEO insisted on this sort of matching enabling CP Rail to reduce the stable by some 500 locomotives saving many many $$ in leasing costs. That stretch of mainline between Essa and Tottenham on the Mactier Sub used to need pusher engines coming uphill from Lambton Yard Toronto in the days of steam.
Gord Merrick Look at the date of this video. This was before H.H. arrived at CP. Long intermodal trains with remotes were running in 2008.
Really great video!! Wow!! I never see a 2 CP engine on the Mid DPU but it was separated! The CP engine was on the rear DPU! This must be so powerful!
What an AWESOME CATCH, had to been over 2miles long w the 2 leading engines and 3 DPU's! Nice job.....
Thanks for watching & commenting. Regards, J
MEGA!!!!!!!!!!!! Love the DPU's screaming by!!!
Esse Trem de Ferro e um monstro de verdade e uma composição muito longa.
Parabens.
Obrigado pelo video
Thanks you
That's The longest goods train I've ever seen in my life. I even tried counting them all. That beats the guinness book of records.😄
177 ;)
Really cool to see two mid DPUs spread out like that. CP is awesome.
Impresionante formación. Excelente captura. Felicitaciones desde El Salvador!
fantastic consist with three DPU, it's great!!
there was 4 Loco's
Great video, thanks for sharing it. Never seen a train that long
what a monster ! nice catch !
Wao..... what a great operation precisely done.... excellent video
Right let's count...1 2 3 4....121 122 123...dam just blinked....replay 1 2 3 ......

Great video of a massive interamodel transfer love those Canadian Pacific trains thanks
Thank you! J
For those who have never ridden on a freight train either up in the engine or in the long ago caboose ...It is SO Cool ! In its own way, its very Serene.
Well said! Thanks, J
great video bro
ยาวสุดยอด
Thank you for dropping by, J
The wind drag must play a part when hauling these double stacks. They have the aerodynamics of bricks. I'd think streamlining them could really improved fuel mileage while at speed?
Great work...Epic images...Thumbs UP!!!
Thanks for visiting. JJ & Jason
Can’t believe that this was posted 12 years ago
We have been at this a bit. :) .. Thank you, J
definatley 110 nice shot jayson 177 cars on this one. I got 110 with 8956 and first mid train 9361 back on march 10th
Este ferrocarril es un monstruo,cosa impresionante,y a la vez una maravilla poder ver cosas coma está.
Well, my penny would really have been squashed!
This is one of my favorite train videos
Thanks for watching! JJ & Jason
this is a very interesting video-- thanks for posting
This is really it, watched until I fell to sleep😴😴😴
Oh boy! The train was long enough to circle the earth- a true monster train.
I count 177 cars. First time I've ever seen single unit mid-train power staged at 2 different points in the train. Impressive.
I got 177 plus 4 engines 181
Distributed Power Unit
DPU
Lovely catch 👌 👏
Thanks a lot 😊
That was an invasion not a train! Amazing.
**Subscribed**
Beautiful. Just beautiful. They're hauling outta there. What's the speed restriction in that part?
Restriction? The only restriction is the max speed of the engines. They way it was flying looks like theres no restrictions.
Speed limit is probably 50 to 60 mph.
55 MPH
Wow 177 cars that sure is a monster!
187 cars and 372 containers!!! Wow
177 cars
I’d hate to be the conductor on that if a knuckle breaks between the second last car and the last one. But on the bright side, the tail end DP is right there. Hopefully it’d have the right type of knuckle on it!
Impressionnant ! 😮
smart distribution of power on a long train!! bet it could do 70mph,and make good time to its terminal!!
It WAS doing about 60mph in the video, but in canada freights are limited to 65, and all freight locos geared for that speed...
Man i wish i could see another 70mph+ train, i saw the VIA canadian doing 75 once... pure awesomeness, i tell ya
@@thestarlightalchemist7333 The Vias run 90 MPH along the Toronto - Montreal corridor.
*now imagine trying to slow down the train with so much mass moving forward*
@@thestarlightalchemist7333 It slowed down though from it's initial speed
DRIVER GETTING READY TO DEPART: ah shit i left my phone in the caboose!
That was the greatest catch ever!
Yes it is. :) .. lol
Wow it's crazy 176 cargowagoons
Love it, superb
Thank you! Cheers!
Wow.. Cool..
Btw, how do each locos communicate each to synchronize the speed? Because they are separated by wagon..
Radio control equipment
Ok tq for the information. So the RF must be reliable and low noice /intereference..👍👍
@@HavelockYard thanks for that reply. I always assumed there was some sort of data connection that was link when the cars and brake pipes were connected between the cars. Never thought of radio. Cheers
Radio telemetry
Unbelievable. What an absolute monster.
Red Giant.. Wonderful coverage..
In 1979 I have travelled while training with Canadian Pacific from Calgary to Revolstock in freight train.That train was about two km long .I travelled in first locomotive of train.The load was hauled by about six locomotives.Engr

Awesome railfan video.
Me gusta el sonido de las 3 ultimas maquinas. Un arte y ademas una elegancia de tren y complementa con el video.
I often haul rail maintenance equipment for CN, and as awesome as seeing these beastly Intemodal trains pass by is, waiting for track clearance sucks. Especially when there are 140+ cars, and they're only doing 25kph coming off of a siding. I've spent upwards of 3 hours waiting trackside because my track protection couldn't get me a 45 minute window to mount, load and dismount the crossing. Still cool to see trains this size up close though. Great video too!
Yep, if you work for or on the railroad know your day is going to be spent waiting unless you have a work block. Thanks for dropping by. Jason
Thanks for posting this amazing train!!
I posed this question deeper in one of the replies but wanted to post here as well to see if someone knowledgeable can answer. How do the 4 engines sync their pulling power? What makes say engine number 3 pull with the precise amount of force so that engine 3 and the following section does not become engine 1 or engine 2's burden to pull. On the same lines, do they also brake in tandem so as to "share" the burden of slowing the monster down?.
The FTO software controls each locomotive throttle and dynamic brakes independently via wireless connectivity depending on where that DPU is on a hill or a corner. The computer knows how to prevent slack action and other handling issues. Soon enough there will be no crew at the healm; at the very least they will be working from home. Its high time Canada went to positive train control anyway. Cheers & thanks for watching. Jason
nice vid, new sub! Keep up the great work
Good god thats a long train !!😎
Saludos desde México excelente día un hermoso tren el más largo que he visto 4 locomotoras con todo su poder de fuerza felicidades por el vídeo. Me apasionan los trenes gracias por compartir.

Great video. How many freight trucks would this save being on the highways. We need more rail freight in Australia.
We need more freight railroading in the united States as well. The train in this video took abut 425 trucks off the roads (at least until "last mile" delivery.
Longest double decker freight train in the world for sure. 😜👍
Now THAT my friends, is a freight train. Set up beautifully, no empties , helpers strategically placed, no possibilities of a string line. I was a freight Conductor for CP about 20 years ago, I worked on some monster 14,000 ton, 12,000 foot coal trains, but that was a absolute monster, probably a 15,000 footer. Wow. Hate to get stopped by a hot box detector. You just know it won't be axle number 25. Lol
