Outrageous flick!   I don't think any other railroad put on a more raw display.
Looks like the headend was having power problems.  Lead unit was puffing every few seconds, the four-axle units sound like they could be slipping, and the leased junker wasn't running.
Thanks for sharing these gems!

Now that's a train not a container ship on rails. Love the sound.

Another excellent video - great job!!! Brings back good memories.

​Must have been a weekend as the helper set was the power used on the Toledo Hauler out of Eugene.

Slugs (TEBU's)! I've never seen those out on the mainline like that. Great catch!
