Thanks for another look at a fast moving mega train. Only had a couple of those roll thru the backyard.

I can't imagine walking the length of that train looking for a hose break.  I wonder if they would allow using a drone/camera combination for inspecting the cars in such a situation.

The one time the crew would welcome a railfan taking pics of their train.
I gave a ride to a BNSF crewman looking for a broken air hose on the needles sub when the temp was in the high 90's.
He was very thank full I was there.

I stood at a road crossing yesterday as well, watching an EB 12k dog thunder by. They sure do feel like forever when looking from ground level.

Big train, weird blocking.
