Western Railroad Discussion > Bringing the Heat to Mojave!Date: 08/07/20 21:42 Bringing the Heat to Mojave! Author: spsniper 11 high horsepower BNSF engines in Run-8 move the loaded "Worm Train", as it pours on the heat and crawls up the 2% vine out of Mojave!
Any idea how much these biggies weigh, they are always impressive? trainmovies.com Edited 3 time(s). Last edit at 08/07/20 22:56 by spsniper.    Date: 08/07/20 21:46 Re: Vapor Trails Author: spsniper Have a good weekend!

RC Lundgren Elgin, TX Date: 08/08/20 08:40 Re: Vapor Trails Author: cajon Maybe 2 engines down. I have seen the extra engine on the front or rear with one down.

TC Date: 08/08/20 12:28 Re: Vapor Trails Author: coach If you ever stay overnight in Mojave, stay at the Best Western, then listen to these monsters roar and throb as they pass under the overpass nearby. It's quite a sonic / auditory treat. Those big GE's, with their 4-stroke engines in Run 8, really fill the air with an amazing sound. I prefer it vs. watching them in Tehachapi.
