This is why I admire BNSF. First thing you notice is the road bed. It’s immaculate. In the middle of no where too. No other railroad has roadbed like that. Secondly, the volume of trains and how fast they are moved and how closely together they follow behind one another just shows the proficiency and hard work of the railroad and it’s crews. BNSF is just awesome.

It's just wonderful!!!

Imagine each one of those cans being transported on our highways. Rail transport is the best!

One of the best train videos I've ever seen. Unbelievable amount of cargo.

Отличное видео, смотрел много раз. Как на другой планете...) Спасибо автору...,

Awesome video. You found some great POV's to shoot from, and also encountered some friendly crews who greeted you with some horn action. Ludlow is one of the best places in CA to railfan if you can put up with the extremes in the weather. It can get damn hot out there, as well as pretty cold. Good job all around!

I can't believe there were so many trains in one place. Thanks for sharing and for outstanding filming. Hope to see more from you.

Watching for the umpteenth time under my new YT name. This is the very first video that got me hooked on railfanning. And this one is still the gold standard. A work of art.

Hands down the best train video I've ever seen!

This really is a show .By golly never been so excited watching so many trains in such an amazing location .

I spent 18 hours in a crappy little motel waiting out a sand storm in Ludlow 43 years ago. I was on my motorcycle heading to Little Rock, Arkansas. Crappy little town but great video. Love railfanning!!

Great long shots showing several trains moving at the same time. Very impressive. Thanks.

Wow, thats incredible dispatching. And a very well presented video. Love the location and sound too. Big thumbs up. Lost count of how many times I watched this now.

Artistic and almost ballet-like! Absolutely stunning! Great job, Trains232!!!

This is an AWESOME place for watching trains. You are so lucky. I'm JEALOUS

i drove past this yesterday coming home from bakersfield its cool too see!

As a Brit watching this it just blows my mind! Mind you, tip to tip England is only 603 miles as the crow flies. Somewhat different to the States! Fantastic vid - thanks for sharing. (p.s. Had some fab holidays in the States, very hospitable people!)

Your 603 miles includes Scotland. England, tip to tip is much less. This is why the English view Scottish independence as a disaster: they see "England" as much diminished.

Holy Toledo. This is the coolest awesome video I've seen in a long time. Great work on this u did. Wish I was out there seeing all of this nonstop movement and recording them myself. Glad I watched this because I sure enjoyed very much.

Awesome train video! I love to see trains rolling through the desert scenery.

Who needs signals when you can see the train you'll be meeting! :) Awesome scenery and video! GREAT JOB! I love that part of the country.

This video has got to have the most containers I have ever seen, stack trains rule... thanks for posting.....

Busy Busy Busy Transcon Route. Too many meets to count. Great Video!!

Spectacular. Great job! The BNSF separates the south 40 from the north 40 at MP 231.6, but not like that. I see trains all the time, yet here I am on a very cold blustery day in central Texas watching trains. Go figure. Again, great job!!!!!

Right place at the right time!!! 😎👍👍👍

You guys are great, thanks again.

Wow, what amazing shots! I definitely haven't seen this many trains in one place before...awesome video!

That's how you run a railroad! 4:00 minutes into the video and I can tell this is a hell of a video Great light, great actions and great shots, Robert!

Awesome! Talk about being in the right place at the right time! Another great video!

Wow!!!! Amazing video!!!!! I´ve fallen from de chair!!! That´s something impossible at Spain. Greetings from hundreds of kilometres!

You have some of the best train videos on youtube! Great locations to and I cant believe the amount of trains in one area at a time!

Great camera work. Thanks for sharing.....

Great job getting such a cool video of all these trains passing by.

Disfruto mucho con estos largos trenes que me hacen recordar cuando yo viajaba. Excelente vídeo.

Wow Non stop! LOL! Not one Amtrak...All day? Great views; Landscape, Trains, Wildlife. Awesome show! Thanks.

Superb events. Another great video.

Aweosme bro! I remember watching this as a young kid!

Great video!!! I counted at least 10 meets. Fantastic shots!

It is not fanciful to compare your use of the camera lens with the use of the paintbrush and oils by the great masters of the art world. The sequence at 11:00 of two trains moving left to right on the screen, but heading in opposite directions is superb. The concluding sequence is stunning with the rear of the train rounding the curve in the dying rays of the sunset leading your eye to the front of the train - so far in front. While the operation of the railway is an essential part of the whole, it was a poor second to the images captured by your camera work. My appreciation of your art knows no bounds.

The Z trains are Highest priority and they have the JB Hunt containers and UPS trailers. The customers pay a premium to get their goods across the country faster than regular S train customers so, yeah, the lower priority trains wait. I'm an engineer on a commuter train and sometimes I wait for a Z.

I like the Distant Signal channel. He often tapes the defect detector reports and replays them, so you get the axle count and train length down to the feet.

Absolutely awesome video and even better ending as you listen to and watch the train go into the distance. A*

Gracias compa por tus videos y tiempos de esa época .....super bueno .

This is the best railfan I've seen yet. Wonder how he was able top hop to place to place to video all of this. That dispatcher really had his hands full. Sincgranazation is the key. Just like air traffic controler.

That's a great spot, and you captured what we on the rail call a "cluster." Railfans love them, but railroaders hate them. What you have is a bunch of trains held for 2 Z's. It's what the customer pays for, but challenging to dispatch.

Nice video, probably one of the best I've seen on here!

I love it was fantastic video,

now i want to go here just to sit there for a day and watch the trains seems like they get a good flow through here

This is one of the best videos ive seen in a while. GOOD JOB!

Sometimes one just has to have a little luck, and WOW! Did you hit the jackpot! What a traffic jam, and what luck to be there when it happened. Superb video, well done!

Awesome stuff!!! Loving it in Jersey!!

Thank you for sharing....Absolute great video

This is awesome. On Google Earth I found the exact hillock you were perched on. I've never seen this kind of action outside of a train yard. I had no idea there were consecutive passing sidings out in the boondocks like this.

Excellent Video,man what i would give for a day like that!! Thanks

i love this videos fo lots of large freighters trhough deserts or similar places. in spain is difficult to see this, because of the lenght of the trains and the places where they pass

Immer wieder schoen anzusehen. Wohl das beste Video bei YT :) Einfach ein Volltreffer!

Ludlow is about 52 rail miles east of Barstow, CA on the BNSF Needles Subdivision. It is accessible from I-40, and has a small motel that caters to railfans. The reason it is so busy is because this is BNSF's mainline between Barstow and Chicago. Barstow hosts BNSF trains to and from the Bay Area via the San Joaquin valley/Mojave line, as well as Los Angeles and the ports of San Pedro, San Diego and Long Beach. This guarantees a steady stream of trains day and night.

They use signalling, high red, high green, let's them know what sidetrack they should wait on and what train has priority over the other. Sometimes they wait for hours on a sidetrack until the other train passes, clearing the way until the next time.

Warren Buffett paid an estimated 26 billion dollars for the Burlington Northern Santa Fe would be in a Cell so I wish them good luck it's a very beautiful railroad to watch operate the backbone of America along with the Union Pacific CSX and I hope this helps our economy rebound

Well polished tracks!!

Great camera work! Excellent Video!

Robert i don't know how you do it but your videos are the BEST on youtube. This action at ludlow proves it!

Awesome video, Loved it.

Westbounds into Barstow sometimes may be held out online due to the yard congestion therefore the dispatcher tries to hold them hold them back at a location that won't get a log jam going. It happens quiet often especially during heavy traffic and when a yard has to work the train on arrival so they run other priority trains around that do not have yard work at the crew change yards. Also the destination of the train may be having mechanical or congestion problems so they hold em back.

i sure wish i could see for miles like that around here. too many trees! ahh!
