Great grab on the five engine manifest chugging through the pass... The new cars were spectacular, but the artists are licking their chops to get a ahold of them !!

Thanks BAR! Much appreciated brother. I was thinking the same thing. 🤤🤣

Another outstanding video my friend!! So beautiful!! A very good friend, a retired UP engineer told me that running up Cajon is one of the most boring runs on the UP. Just sitting there running at 25-30mph, feeling the heavy vibration of the locomotive can put you to sleep. 😴 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

@P30CH Thank you my friend! That's crazy, how could it get boring? As a kid, this place used to make me daydream of being a locomotive engineer. I would think about all of the amazing back country that the train crews get to see.

@@P30CH I bet all of of it would be boring at night, especially when the loco is vibrating you to sleep. 🤣😴😴 A full and bright moon might be cool in a place like the pass though. Thank you my friend!

That’s a lot of beef on that train. Must be nice to have money. I’m glad they put the new cars to work quickly…

@Fourwheeljive thanks Robert! Surprisingly, no I haven't. I always have an eye out for railriders though. I do however catch open containers quite often.

Great vid sir! Living in the east I don’t get out that way so it’s always cool to see multi loco sets grinding through those passes with those backdrops.

Those cars are high side gondolas. You see those typically carrying fresh cotton, wood chips, fertilizer, and scrap metal.

@Fourwheeljive good question? 🤔 I am not too sure. I cannot say that I have seen very many rail cars that look like that one. I wonder if anybody else that watches might know?

Uphill in 100(f) temperatures? Hope the loco cab has air conditioning that works. Also hope the cooling systems in the prime movers are well maintained. Gotta be tough railroading.
