Here is a compilation of trains we saw on Super Train Sunday. I think I have spent nearly the last 10 years foaming instead of watching "The Game"...anyway, the video is kind of long, but it was a great sunny day, with temps reaching 80 degrees in Tehachapi for a while.

They said the power was 2.2 horsepower per ton, and this train took forever to make it up to our spot. We did get an accurate train length or speed, because it fouled every detector (by moving so slow)

Heard the BNSF grain train was coming, so I set up the tripod and thought I would shoot a video. It appears I was a little off-center, so apologies...but I thought some of the overseas folks would want to see this train. The friendly conductor is ZPatrick... The train loses some helpers in Bakersfield, and then arrives at Swanson's in Fresno county.

Here is where we combine the hobbies of Geocaching and Train Watching... If you are interested in either, head to trainfoamers.com or geocaching.com
This is at 3650 feet, and I had hiked 8 miles in the hills during the weekend. There was a big wind too, which causes the noise on the last couple minutes of video.

Didnt really catch any in good light, so we shot video where we could. These are the Amtrak 798, Amtrak 796, Union Pacific Special and Amtrak Coast Starlight

Video duration: 223 seconds

Took some videos during a recent trip to Northern Arizona of some BNSF action on the Transcon. While not the optimal light, shooting was limited because of the mud from recent snow melts. We actually got stuck in the red mud shown in the first clip....and in the last few clips, are standing on the old Route 66, which continues another half mile or so and ends.
