This video features the mixed freight train CSX Q614-14 and it tells the strange story of the intermodal CSX Q194-15. Q194 was stopped by the police at Howie Siding, because there was an incident with people involved, who were near the track when the train passed. As far as I can tell, nothing seriously happened, but Q194 got substantially delayed. Both engines of Q194 were brand new tier 4 GEVO ET44AH engines (CSXT # 3302 leading, # 3280 trailing). The horn of 3302 is really unique. [© 2015 MBMARS Productions. Exclusive rights for YouTube channel "mbmars01" only.]

    This is the essence of railfanning; spending the day chasing & not knowing what to expect. It was almost as if I was behind the camera. You had me rolling about the " Tommorrow moves" comment. I spend countless nights chasing CSX & FEC at night only not to film because of lighting. I was fascinated by the steep hills, something that we dont have. Keep up the great work. The video editing is on point.

    At 6:30, that looks like a real tough train to manage. That is like running a roller coaster. Great engineer.

    I love how the reflection of the ditch lights makes it look like the rails are on fire in your head-on shots, like at 9:35! Wonderful video. Your technique is great, and the image clarity, especially when paused, is really impressive.
  • @WhiteRiverRails
    That's awesome!! Really cool all the angles you got of the ET44AH's and when they stopped!
  • @imodelrr
    Beautiful machines with unbelievable torque. Thanks for sharing
  • Awesome video and thanks for the story going with it. I like the engineer waving at you at 25:40 :-) He made a really smooth start.
  • @mottledbrain
    Oops! They forgot the caboose! (After all this time I still find freights with no caboose looking incomplete.)
  • @lancelot1953
    That was nice of the engineer to wave back - RR workers and employees are real supportive and talkative to railfans - it is helps the hobby and makes America a little bit better place to be, Thank you for the video and comments, Ciao, L

    Love the smell of Diesel almost any time of the day. Great video. Thanks
  • @EstorilEm
    It's incredible to see almost 10,000 HP and nothing but clean heatwaves and exhaust fumes, even with telephoto lenses! That's really tough to do with diesel - I give them credit even if it's probably sucking down more fuel and cutting engine life in half with all the EGR crap.
  • @aceone102
    this video is awesome!..thank you for making my day...long time ago a steam engine used to come just below our house...how times have changed!..
  • Restart was nothing like hearing four SD40's winding up. 'Course after years of hearing things like that my hearing isn't that great anymore!
  • @BenjaminEsposti
    They do have a nice idling sound though ... and the good 'ol GE loco air compressor sound! :P
  • @aloiziobarros1
    Congratulations on video. Beautiful images of these amazing crazy series 44 GE. Here in Brazil we have many AC 44i and Dash 9 operating in MRS Logística. Locos are fantastic.
  • @velociforce
    my my what some awesome shots you got their, nice work
  • @kellingc
    that line is one hell of a roller coaster. Major props for the engineer keeping that train under control with all those grades.
  • @ostlandr
    Thanks! Amazing how the camera zoom makes the track look like a roller coaster. At 6:32 ti almost looks like a model railroad for some reason. Gee, I didn't think hobos rode the trains any more. The new Tier 4 engines really seem to be clean- and quiet, too.
  • @cereus57
    It's amazing how the hills are so pronounced passing the feed mill! Don't think they had enough power on the train working the mill though!
  • @markfryer9880
    That was some very good footage, thanks for sharing.
  • Great video, liked the close in shots, great for obtaining detail information!
