We caught the Military Train on UP’s Beaumont Hill!

Went railfanning today. Caught lots of trains but wasn’t expecting this! The military train slowly making its way down grade with lots of weaponry aboard! SUBSCRIBE

What is that awful squeal? the brakes?

[@nwrproductions4014]

Brakes plus the weight being put on the trucks of the flatbeds grinding against the rails

[@stevesdumpsterrave3080]

@@nwrproductions4014 that so the wheels grabbing ontpt he rail at such weight when the rails are either just a little too close to each other or far apart. also happens on curves all the time.
