Western Railroad Discussion > Kingman Canyon - "Great Train Race"Date: 06/10/19 12:55 Kingman Canyon - "Great Train Race" Author: cinder The late afternoon sun is lighting up Kingman Canyon on the BNSF Transcon. An eastbound intermodal is slogging upgrade. Is that dpu's I hear? No .... Wait ! The increasing roar is the sound of a short-fast eastbound overtaking the intermodal.
The chase is on ..... No contest really. Sorry about the "shakes". My Galaxy S5 wasn't set to video stabilization. Edited 3 time(s). Last edit at 06/10/19 13:31 by cinder.

The Dispatcher won't bend the switches toward M1 at Griffith to Berry for ANY EB unless they're at least 2.3 - 2.5 HPT minimum or you may be tying your train down and asking for more power.
Date: 06/10/19 16:39 Re: Kingman Canyon - "Great Train Race" Author: goneon66 great catch cinder. that is the first time i have seen a manifest e/b on main #1 with an e/b intermodal on main #2.
that is one of my favorite spots to take videos in the canyon............. 66 Date: 06/10/19 16:57 Re: Kingman Canyon - "Great Train Race" Author: mapboy There has been tie work on Main 2, causing trains to use the steep Main 1. What date was this? I encourage all photographers and videographers to post the date. It could be they opened Main 2 for the hot Z.
mapboy Date: 06/10/19 17:18 Re: Kingman Canyon - "Great Train Race" Author: zchcsse 6 engines makes it a little suspect, but that manifest looks like the Local returning to Berry from McConnico. Do you remember if it was much more than those gons?

Andy Date: 06/10/19 18:16 Re: Kingman Canyon - "Great Train Race" Author: cinder The video was shot on Saturday afternoon, May 11. And yes, the manifest was just a handful of gons, mostly empty ......a couple with large spools of wire. No trackwork was being done that day..
Date: 06/10/19 22:27 Re: Kingman Canyon - "Great Train Race" Author: ProAmtrak Nice catch, only other time I know is fun is when No. 4 crosses over and does the station work, I rode it one night where I woke up and saw an Eastbound on Main 2, No. 4 highballs and overtakes the eastbound before I-40 and then once crossing over at Barry, SEE YA!!!

Date: 06/11/19 07:33 Re: Kingman Canyon - "Great Train Race" Author: goneon66 yes, they are amazon "prime" trailers and they are seen daily on seligman sub intermodal trains........
66 Date: 06/11/19 08:11 Re: Kingman Canyon - "Great Train Race" Author: ntharalson Great catch, and that H1 "Northern" on the intermodal train was a better catch than the NS on the manifest!
