Never have been out in the desert to photograph trains. Thanks for the visions!

Great video! Finally nice to find a real photographer who knows framing, perspective, lighting and no constant panning & zooming! You should give lessons to most of the uploaders here!! Thanks for showing how it is done the right way.

Glad you enjoyed, thanks.

Recently stayed at motels in both Flagstaff and Barstow. I heard BNSF trains all night, but they're lullabyes to me.

Yes, the perspective on the shot at 11:50 is brilliant. Excellent idea to keep the sound going as it heads off into the distance too.

The first scene with the Amtrak looked worthy of a post card the entire time. This is magical.

BRAVO! Great video and great Mojave desert! Very good job and most of all no annoying music! I like it when I hear the sounds of the train, ship, airplane etc. If I want to listen to the music I go to a music channel. Thank you so much!

wow-what a beautiful scenario

Grew up next BC rail line in west van love trains thanks for great videos

Best video like modeltrains and good sound although of my deafness. Nice greetings from Germany

the scenery there is incredible!

Awesome view location. Thank you for your time spent making the vidieo

Have been away from your vids awhile - glad I watched this one. 3rd train's entry was spectacular; shave & hair cut always fun; ballast level clip was killer! You still have the touch. . . . Diana

Beautiful beautiful country my mother was born and raised in California has been there countless times but I’ve never been I can’t wait to go visit it in one of the first places I would love to visit is the Tehachapi loop as well is this! I’ll bet it’s nothing but hot hot hot hot out there!! 😬😬😬😮😮

Magnificent scenery with awesome train catches!

Extra ordinary shots. Thank you

thats second train was dope, kool to see all those ups trailers and containers i work there

Super Video! Very high quality. Thanks for sharing.

Awesome video and beautiful videoraphy

Jaw-dropping video!!!!!

Great excellent video, mr Trains 232. Think that you use a very good 📷 with a fullframe. Strong lenses with a high standard. And you have a good places to filming and catch the trains there in the Mojave California. Good to see for my own trip through the U.S.A. with my girlfriend. 🚆🚆🚆🚆👍👍👌👌🆗. Greet from Zandvoort the Netherlands.

Excellent video!

I tried driving around the zig zag area near Siberia Ca and that was some rough country. Awesome videos.

Nice, that next to last train made a noise that sounded like, meow, meow,meow.

It was nice to see mid-train helpers at 14:18. as not so many are on these coming out of California. That's just the way it seems.

awesome train video

That train at 17:00 is really moving, I have never seen trains go that fast.

T232, awesome video. I really enjoy how you let the train come to you. The unrestricted visibility and line of sight you get out west is amazing. At about the 17 min and 24 min mark I saw CSX power, I wondered if they made it that far out west. Occasionally I see BNSF power come through Georgia. Nice work.

Hey robert long time no talk man! Hope all is well! Great videos from the mojave desert man, definitely top notch stuff! Keep the great clips coming!

Extraordinario video,su pais me deja asombrado por el sistem ferroviario.Amo el ferrocarril

I recognize the curves at Klondike and Ludlow, and I'm wondering where the other locations are.

Wow! Freight trains don't go that fast here, in the North East. I would love to have been there.

npo64 I think the top speed I have seen in Western Massachusetts, was about 40mph.

Dead in tow or not... the consist on that last train was just sick. Great catch.

Neat military catch! I'm making a guess here that it was EB if in early May. If so that would mean it was the 3rd Armored Brigade Combat Team from 1st Armored Division. They had just completed a training rotation at the National Training Center @ Ft Irwin, CA & were heading back to Ft Bliss, TX.

some of these are hell of a length.....

Very good videos. I have to freeze here at 3:08, just to compare the real locomotive with a "not ready for prime" locomotive. It seems that most passenger units are designed to look like an "inter-urban transit." Nothing noteworthy. Really good video work.

This is one spectacular video. Why are they blowing their horns when they come around that 1st curve ?

fantastic,super!

Sou eu que tenho imenso prazer em agradecê-lo.Obrigado.

That intermodal train was moving. Maybe the CSX engine added a little umphh. (I grew up 200 feet away from a CSX mainline so I'm biased lol.)

Is it usual for Amtrak to be led a BNSF engine coming through there?

Was that a SD 40b on the last train. Sweet. 😁 I don't see many of those B engines around.

Work that area bck n late 70's..hot..hot..hot.

Where were you?

The wide open landscape of the USA . Just love it .What is the average speed of these freight trains and if they have a breakdown how long will it take for a relief loco to arrive . Beautiful video and I like the helpers too .In India they are called bankers .Thank you from Australia by way of India .

18:50 ... What are those flaps on the bottom of the trailers? Wind resistors?

Was this near Needles?

sometime i see 5 or 6 engines in a train . . is it fact that each and every engines are pulling the rest .

Unless something goes wrong, all of the engines are moving the train. All are controlled from the lead engine, even those that may be in the middle of the train or at the rear.

Depends on horsepower/ton needs. Mechanical department and/or dispatch generally decide how many of the locomotives in the consist are needed to be online. The ones that aren't needed generally have the prime movers idling but aren't supplying power to the drive wheels.

Man! great catches, especially Unit-B, BNSF #345 ( 31:13 ). And how much was the temperature that day?

Holy f***, that's a long train 27:00, In my country the longest trains are like 1500 feet long, what's the longest train in regular service in the States?

It's possible that the second one had issues and they dropped it somewhere. I've seen that happen

Question for ya..... At roughly 11:41 to perhaps 12:03 of this video..... Where are you located. Sarah and I are planning a return to the area in mid-November, and since we can't get as far into Cajon Pass areas because of the fire, I'd like to hit some good areas in the Mojave Desert. Also, you remember when in May you filmed this. We were in the pass in the middle of May. Might have been about the same time.

Okay, someone help out this dummy,.here where it's flat, I never see locomotives in the middle or end of the train? also, why is he whistle blown in the middle of the dessert when there is no apparent crossing? Just asking...

Trains232, love your videos, but I have a question for you. There is what appears to be a grave yard of old train engines in Arizona at this lat/lon (31°57'58.3"N 110°31'57.4"W) ( vimeo.com/156998418) and I wonder if you could identify what model of engines they have there. Do you know about this place?

@Trains232

Yes, many older engines that just aren't needed right now.. Many are SD60M, C40-8W and C44-9W.

@Raptorman0909

Thanks for the reply ... there appear to be quite a few engines there, perhaps a hundred, and I'd never known of the place until today. Do you know if any of these engines would have been taken out of service early due to the tougher emissions standards that came into effect in 2005? I gotta visit this place some day...
