Glorious NSE Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 A contact on Facebook put me onto this one - a mile and a half of intermodal moving right along is always impressive, but how about two in parrallel? (Oh, sound is *very* good....!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZN5tYIBvlA&feature=share And from a link at the end of that, how about the SD70 that thinks it's a pacer!? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYlMkWWS9us&feature=youtu.be Feel free to jump in with your own...

trisonic Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Superb! Really love the first one Martyn.........The ground must have been throbbing! Am I the only person to think of outfitting a container as a windowed clubroom (with bathrooms, sofa's, beer, grub) and then be transported around North America? Best, Pete.

Dear Pete, Just hope that you aren't put in the bottom of a dbl-stacker well car. The doors are soo close to the end of the well you can't open them, so you is stuck until you're lifted out...

Dear RMwebbers, Pause the first video at 0:10, then concentrate til 0:20, and tell me if that doesn't look like the end of a "lobe type" peninsular on a dual-track layout... :-) ("Relatively" tight curve, the headlight tracing the scenery, and the grade-crossing acting as the visual foil "mid curve"...) I was honestly looking for the Kadee curved wire under the couplers... :-) EDIT: The last 25 sec just re-inforces the feel... ;-) Happy Modelling, Aim to Improve, Prof klyzlr Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trisonic Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Nb: Need more escape hatches per Prof. Klyzer........... I'll have to watch it agin later Prof. ('cos I like the volume up and it is 2:40am, just back from Brooklyn - where's my Red Bull)? Best, Pete.

Jon Gwinnett Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Great stuff. That second one - not so much a "Thoroughbred", more a kangaroo! And I totally agree with the Prof, the first one is like watching a model - the video CraigZ posted the other day springs to mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prof Klyzlr Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Great stuff. That second one - not so much a "Thoroughbred", more a kangaroo! Can just imagine the in-cab comments: - "...gee, watch the bounce on re-entry..." - "...did we miss a track order?..." - "...darn, another Mazda ran the gate..."

Zunnan Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 I've always been a sucker for Superfleet Warbonnets, and this vid certainly hits the spot for me ~ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfexVm1Hy6Q And while I'm on the pacing vids, what could possibly be better than some good old 645 grunt? A pity the original posters account has long closed, he had some fantastic vids which have kept me glued to Youtube for hours on end! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5iMi6CoFts Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CraigZ Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 A contact on Facebook put me onto this one - a mile and a half of intermodal moving right along is always impressive, but how about two in parrallel? (Oh, sound is *very* good....!) And from a link at the end of that, how about the SD70 that thinks it's a pacer!? Feel free to jump in with your own... That first one is incredible - what a bit of luck to be set up for that. Wow. Oh, and in case you're wondering why the 2nd train is blowing for the level crossings...well, the rulebook says blow for level crossings. And if somebody some nitwit had blundering into the path of that train, the crew wants to be covered... 2nd one - the bounce looks terrifying. I remember watching trains at Selma, NC and seeing the Seaboard System B36-7s bounce like that crossing the Southern's diamonds at 60 mph. Then listening to the crackshot sounds of the wheels of 9000 feet of piggyback cars. Awesome. I imagine my UK friends who've never seen American trains would be just as amazed as I found the Valenta powered HSTs...what a glorious noise they made.

Glorious NSE Posted December 5, 2011 Author Share Posted December 5, 2011 That first one is incredible - what a bit of luck to be set up for that. Wow. It is a real 'what are the chances' - two trains together is one thing, but the chance that both are intermodals to the same length must be infinitessimally small. 2nd one - the bounce looks terrifying. I remember watching trains at Selma, NC and seeing the Seaboard System B36-7s bounce like that crossing the Southern's diamonds at 60 mph. Then listening to the crackshot sounds of the wheels of 9000 feet of piggyback cars. Awesome. I imagine my UK friends who've never seen American trains would be just as amazed as I found the Valenta powered HSTs...what a glorious noise they made. One of the things that stayed with me from my trip back in 2000 was the noise of a long train passing over a diamond - it's an incredible, awesome, dreadful sound, and the multiplication of the sound at locations with several diamonds just overloads the senses. Even moving slowly, the way the diamond's components and truck suspensions all move together in a sinuous way is a strangely hypnotic thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Delamar Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 great clip, the guy who filmed the first youtube vids are superb, really well filmed and relaxing to watch, especially this one.. grab a beer, relax and watch in HD. thanks Mike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Gwinnett Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Love the horse and buggy crossing at Myerstown in the second clip Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trisonic Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 There's a Horse and Buggy in the first clip too. Both were taken either on or around the NS Harrisburg route in PA - that where the Lititz branch comes off too, Jon. Nice bit of switching by the timber yard in the first clip - the elevation changes are enhanced by the lens but still pretty extreme. Old Chessie hopper at 9:39 on second clip. Best, Pete.

Thanks for putting the location in context for me Pete Nice bit of switching by the timber yard in the first clip - the elevation changes are enhanced by the lens but still pretty extreme.

trisonic Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Great stuff! He's found some brilliant locations to film. See the GG1 tucked into the Station (at Harrisburg, I believe - I haven't been there yet)? Shame that wasn't running too. Best, Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
