That brings back memories. Standard trains around that time were usually 3x5 and 8900 tons. I was thinking that train was doing pretty good coming out of Tunnel 7 and then when I saw the helper with 6 units making it a 3x6 train I understood why it was doing so good.

Great video!  So much to see: wood sided chip gondola, caboose, great power (all EMD of course) and a fantastic variety of freight cars.
Thank you for sharing.

That freight train did not appear to be infected with spray paint graffiti. The product was available prior to 1989, so what has happened between then and now to bring on that vandalism?

The influence and spread of gangs from inner cities lit the fire.   Spread out in the 90's and became mainstream.

Another gem I could watch all night!    Them SP EMD's were glorious.
