- There's an amazing collection of interesting trains in this video. We first see a southbound BNSF coal train with 2+3 engines and a manifest with an eclectic and colorful lashup of 5 units, going north, at Kentucky St in Memphis, TN. This consist contains one of few Santa Fe Dash-9s in the super fleet Warbonnet paint scheme as well as a Norfolk Southern Operation Lifesaver D9. Leaving Tennessee, we cross the state line marked by the Mississippi River and catch the remarkable manifest again in Marion, AR and stay in the area for almost the rest of the day. Enjoy watching an intermodal move in reverse, more manifests, a grain train, and a GP50 duo light move enter UP's Hulbert Sub. All this was filmed on the west side of the river in eastern Arkansas, in Marion and West Memphis.

Got to love the EMD SD70ACe
No question, catching them is always a highlight.
Oh no, cliff hanger! LOL! There's just something about SD70ACe's that are so unique and cool looking to me. The distinct, sharp corners, the mid-rear radiator section, the HTCR-II trucks... It's definitely in my top 3 favorite diesel-electric locomotives.
Was having kind of having a rough start to my day, so this was a nice surprise this morning. As always, a fantastic video, sir.
The SD70ACe's exterior design is simply more elegant than that of many other EMD or GE locomotive types. I always like to catch an ace wherever I can. I'm glad to hear this video could make you feel somewhat better. I hope everything's okay.
We can enjoy a lot of BNSF pumpkins in this video. The second train is awesome with the three different railroads' engines. I think we can say that the action is pretty exciting in Arkansas. I'm sure the next update will be entertaining too. Great job as always, your work is much appreciated. :)
The second lashup was really very cool. It's rare to see power of three different railroads on one train. Good you enjoyed the video!
Awesome video! BNSF comes through here like crazy! While UP only has around 15 trains a day
Yet I was surprised by the number of BNSF trains, but also by the UP traffic. Didn't really expect that much.
Great style & photography...still can't get over this production is hand held ( barely proceived).
Appreciated! It's quite a bit of effort to stabilize the raw recordings, but, well, it works. I'm usually also quite happy with the results.
Great shots. Always a pleasure to watch your videos. Excellent as usual.
Thanks a lot! I appreciate your feedback as always. Great you found this one also entertaining.
WOW, great mix of units from CSX, NS and BNSF! Always cool to see different units and roadnames.
I fully agree. Where I live, we rarely get to see such cool power mixes, but Memphis is an important interchange point of multiple railroads, so it's far more likely to catch something like that second lashup in this area.
Man... You caught some amazing stuff in Arkansas. Very cool !!!
I also like the trains in this video very much. My favorites are the northbound manifest with the colorful lashup and the southbound manifest with all these steel loads. Amazing.
Finally! I have carved out time to watch a terrific video in its entirety without constant interruptions, as all worthy videos deserve to be watched!
The old warbonnet on that manifest can sure use a new paint job. Always been one of my preferred paint schemes. Reminds me sometimes of the F-8s back in the day.
Hey, something you don't see every day. A tank car with a scarf!
Great job my friend! Always such a pleasure to see your work.
I wish they would repaint the Santa Fe warbonnets in that style. That would be absolutely awesome. I have never had the chance to see SF F-units in action, but I have H0 models of F3s and F7s and they look great. I'm glad you enjoyed watching this video!
Hey! You’re in my area, i railfan the Thayer South Sub all the time around Jonesboro, glad you’re in my home state
Very cool!
Nice variety!
Absolutely!
Very nice collection of trains! I like the large lashups - especially on a train with Multiple DPUS. I bet it is challenging when driving over terrain :)
I would think so. If the engineer decides to control the DPUs with custom settings, he really needs to know what he's doing.
3:12 Ah a real Santa Foam warbonnet fall flag 1,004,400 bonus points 😁👍
I wish it had led this train. I just like it. Can't get enough of this paint scheme.
The NS OLS dash 9 9255 is now being rebuilt in Fort Worth texas as NS 4470
So I heard. Might have been the last time it was filmed in this scheme on a train.
@@mbmars01 there’s a sting possibility of that. 9252 was another OLS dash 9 and was rebuilt to 4469, it did not retain its OLS decals
Great Job as always MB, I really like those long colorful shots of train #4 backing in and then pulling out, all with a single engine. You are definitely getting your money's worth out of that zoom lens on this one. Fire Truck horns (makes me miss being at work) and Train horns, music to my ears.
I was very surprised to see that single engine pull this not that short cut of cars across the river to Memphis, but I hope they know what they're doing!
Thayer North is my area Springfield-Thayer, Mo usually around West Plains is where I am ,lots of trains and very scenic too
Awesome. You get nice trains there. The number of trains that ran on BNSF during this visit exceeded expectations.
@@mbmars01 usually get a CSX auto rack train (Memphis-St. Louis) come through 2-3 times a week severely underpowered puts on a good show climbing the hills last time I seen one come through had 2 B36-7's and 60 empty auto racks yeah it stalled.
Oh wow, that's too cool. Not sure I've ever seen a CSX Dash-7.
@@mbmars01 very rare indeed seeing how they were road switchers on a mainline train ,I regret moving to the country (my only regret NO TRAINS) no telling what all I've missed.SD40-2's (the usual power) on coal trains to now running locals, 90's were awesome! Power was more diverse but now its Gevo's and Aces (I do like the Aces)
11:05 SF fallen flag boxcar 5,000 bonus points 👍
11:41 riding the shove and videoing the crew - double bonus points here. 6,000 lol.
This was a surprising move, but it looks like they are used to doing it like this. They store those sections, including a locomotive, on the side track and when UP is ready to receive a chunk, they get it done.
1,173,300 total YT competitive railfanning points awarded lol 👍 Key bonus captures: SF warbonnet, CSX and NS foreign run through power, NS operation live saver, fallen flag rolling stock, signal aspect capture and knockdown, riding the shove lol, joy riding the GP50s.
That's a hell of a score lol. I knew there were some highlights you would like. I'm still amazed by how much attention you pay to all details! Awesome. Also good to know some people really watch the full video. It's definitely worth it...
@@mbmars01 Ha! Well, I couldn't award a proper score without watching the full video.
Excellent video sir! Keep up the great work, gotta love those warbonnet get em while u still can! Keep up great work
I know... I wish BNSF would keep the SF warbonnet heritage in a better shape.
@@mbmars01 me to, do u know how many are left in active service?
No, I don't. I would think most of them are currently stored anyway.
@@mbmars01 alright thanks for the info
You're welcome!
Great video 🚄🚄👍
Thanks, Brian!
Great video!
Thanks!
10:35 BN coil car fallen flag bonus. 3,000 bonus points lol.
This cold car was a big thing for me. I'd love to have an H0 model of it.
2:37 Awesome Lashup!
Yeah, this was a good one.
22:44 GP50 bonus. 14,000 points
They were certainly special, even though it's basically only yard power.
@@mbmars01 Yup. About 30 years ago, you would see such 4 axle power routinely on hotshot intermodals and piggybacks.
Very Nice !!!
Cool, thanks!
@15:01 That is the first time I've heard a GE loco grunting that hard usually they are quiet and unassuming and any nearby EMD'S drown them right out sound wise.
I heard it, too, and it sounded great!
If you're around Thayer, Missouri, they'll shake the ground here! I've done many a yard shift where I've sat next to the tracks and the van I'm in will vibrate as they accelerate out of the yard! MP 335.1 is another great spot as they're in the meat of the grade going north out of town and at full throttle.
Awesome video 👍🏾
Thanks very much!
Nice video
Good you like it, thanks!
Cool video, well done!
Thanks, I'm happy you like it!
Keep the great videos comin! I Love Em
Thanks for letting me know, I appreciate it. Will do!
Great video.
Thanks!
Good video. The guy riding on the rear of the train could have least acknowledge you.
Thanks! Maybe he did. Since I'm so focused on my camera screen to get the scene properly framed I cannot pay too much attention to the crews, unfortunately. Usually they do wave or greet.
3:04 that’s an interesting BNSF train, there’s a Santa Fe warbonnet trailing second, there’s a CSX trailing third, there’s a BNSF GP38-2, and then there’s NS #9255 in operation lifesaver paint. I no that it’s rare seeing NS OLS Dash 9 on BNSF trains, but when I saw the fifth unit on that BNSF train, I realized that NS #9255 was dead in tow. a BNSF employee said to me that Norfolk southern retired this operation lifesaver dash 9 when that train came by me, which is why the unit before that engine is a BNSF gp38-2, which was fourth out. NS sold the 9255 to Wabtec and I realized that there were no more number boards on the front and exhaust stack was capped as well. that’s because the 9255 was actually on its way to be scrapped in Texas, and I knew that OLS dash 9s are on their way to the scrapyard now that they are all retired from ns. lol but where is the 9255 headed since there aren’t any number boards on the front and there’s a capped stack? maybe a scrapyard in Texas? Idk 🤷♀️
This was a neat lashup, indeed. The NS Dash 9 is in the process of being rebuilt as far as I know.
Very nice job! What camera do you use?
Thanks! I used a Panasonic camcorder WXF1 for these recordings.
What do you think of the differences between tier-3 and tier-4 sd70's? I think the 1010 V-12 4500 hp engine in the tier-4 is rad.
Yet I think it's not going to be a bestseller. GE was first with their Tier 4s and now the market is saturated. Also, there are so many engines in storage or being rebuilt. Not a locomotive buyers market right now.
10:02 dragging equipment detected 😆
Lol, indeed.
@@mbmars01 How does that happen lol? Nobody walked / inspected the train before it left the yard? Crew or yard hostler or car inspector: "LoOkS GuD"! (Big plastic wrapping or tarp / trash stuck hanging off the car) 🤣👍
Привет из ВЕЛИКОЙ РОССИИ!
Greetings back to Russia!
6:02 colourful line of engines including a capped NS dash 9 with OLS decals! looks like NS #9255 is on its way to get scrapped, no?
Out of curiosity, how many santa fe locomotives still exist in their original paint? Great video though!
I would think they count in the tens only nowadays, unfortunately.
@@mbmars01 yea that is unfortunate! I had a vhs as a kid called all about trains, focused on the santa fe yards out west. They sure bring back memories.
Santa Fe is my favorite "fallen flag" railroad. I wish I still had the chance to watch them.
@@mbmars01 definitely same here even in front of Conrail. The only warbonnets I've been able to confirm around are #888, 649, 682, 636, 689, and the ones you've filmed. I'm pretty sure 888 has been scrapped :/. Also found fp45 #95 and 108 in the warbonnet paint. All on the west coast ofc none here in ATL :(
Is the NS dash 9 at 3:20 on its way to the scrapyard?
why did they remove the number boards and cap the stack on ns 9255? was it getting scrapped?
The engine is currently being rebuilt into an AC44C6M.
Train derailment in Pickens S.C.
So I heard...
3:04 3:13 3:15 3:20 Interesting train this video! BNSF, ATSF, CSX, and Operation Lifesaver power! But NS #9255 is capped, is it going to be scrapped or not?
Thanks for the upload !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🚅
You're welcome!
I am so glad you moved on from that god awful screeching techno music intro. Thank you.
I try to keep music out of my regular videos, but an intro without music is boring. Music style is a matter of taste, of course; some people like it, some don't. That's okay.
Poop
Nice video
Thanks!
