3 Train Meet at 70MPH - BNSF & UP

Daggett, CA - On one early June morning, we happened to be in the right spot. It was interesting enough seeing a UP coal train swing onto the BNSF, but then a screamer of a stack train slammed past only to be met by another intermodal train of comparable speed. This is a preview of a video that will show more action that we saw here and elsewhere along the Transcon so stay tuned.

That was a 1 in 100, 000 chance of three train meet.
Kudos to the dispatcher!

Man I got whiplash from just watching this video! Awesome stuff!

[solomonstello]

Beautiful. It's a lovely sound when they fly by.

[LupeCoded]

The fact the put actual semi trailer directly on the flat rail cars is still super bad ass to me.

Nice timing! Love those high priority TOFC trains. BNSF knows how to run a railroad.

I love how both BNSF Z trains sounded identical at the crossing.

What a rare moment! 3 trains at the same time and ended at the same time too (for the last 2 trains) and it's right in the frame! What a lucky guy you're :D

This is the best railfaning video I had ever seen. The 2 internal hot shots was awesome. Awesome

[alpharailroadproductions]

That is awesome i glad you stood still when that monster of a train was coming by you great job!!!!

[millypuppydog]

I must confess if we had big old freight trains like that here in the UK I would probably become a geeky train spotter

[emmanuelsavage]

All I got to say is, that was WICKED!

[geoffreylee]

Great stuff! The images and motion are spectacular. Amazing catch, great use of the found sound. A+ rating.

[hohobbyist]

Talk about being in the right place at the right time! Thanks for sharing.

1:44 I know it’s the law but at this point do you need to blow the horn there is already 2 trains going across the track that clearly people see. Don’t get me wrong I like train horn shows but it confuses me.

[warrenwilson]

Terrific! I've never witnessed such a thing.

[IsaiahVerseRailfanning]

Now THAT....is an official 3-way. Thanks for posting up a video in Daggett, by the way. I would've never even heard of it, had I not seen a few of you railfans post a video there. When I eventually hit a conference in Las Vegas, I already have a road trip to Daggett, CA on my radar. While I'm certainly not trying to hit every landmark on the Transcon, between Daggett, L.A., K.C.(and I've already hit Mazon, IL), that'd should be more than sufficient.

[WhiteRiverRails]

That's really awesome!! Must be a cool ride going that fast in one of those GEVOs.
