Western Railroad Discussion > Monolith MeetDate: 04/03/14 15:16 Monolith Meet Author: P5r24 Timing is everything and some days
you get lucky. A northbound U.P. Manifest freight meets a southbound BNFS Manifest freight at the Edison X-ing west Monolith,Ca. This video is a little long but, the cool DPU ending is well worth watching all the different freight cars on both trains. Gary Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 04/03/14 15:37 by P5r24.

Date: 04/03/14 20:10 Re: Monolith Meet Author: DynamicBrake Talk about coincidental timing!! Nice video BTW, thanks for sharing.

Date: 04/04/14 05:39 Re: Monolith Meet Author: bert14 Wow---Great Meet & Perfect timing at the end
Date: 04/04/14 08:01 Re: Monolith Meet Author: zchcsse Nice! So how many run-bys of each train did you have to do to nail that ending? ;)
Date: 04/04/14 13:03 Re: Monolith Meet Author: engrbill47 Fabulous! Was that video taken through your sunroof? Does anyone know how often the local switches out the loaded hoppers from Monolith?

I like the two trains passing at the crossing!
