Train in Trouble! 2 Crews! 10 Locomotives! Front Cab & Rear Helper Engineers! Steep Swarthout Canyon

Train in Trouble! Definition of trouble is difficulties or problems. 2 Crews! 10 Locomotives! Front Cab & Rear Helper Engineers! At Steep Swarthout Canyon! I listened to my scanner for hours on this morning. This train died and tied down in Keenbrook. About a mile below this location. We’re at the upper Swarthout crossing. Right on top of the San Andreas Fault. A mechanic on the radio worked with the crew. They finally got this train up and running by adding 2 engines on the tail and a crew. It’s a heavy Manifest train. The UP mechanic and the crews can be heard getting this train up the steep grade at this sector. The mechanic stayed in contact up to the Summit. Where the teain shut down again. SD70ACe leader followed by 7 lead helpers! Only the first 3 locomotives were engaged at this point. The rest are dead. As we watch the rear lead helper go by, you can see the trail engineer, give us a wave. That’s super rare. Buddy added a bouns for the die hard rail fan subscribers. A BNSF Port Stack/Ethanol tank train. Eastbound on main track 1. Here is a link to the other great trains I captured on this day in Swarthout Canyon. Check them out!
