Man I missed the Triple Crowns. I remember seeing them on the Nickel Plate line in Hammond over ten years ago

NS has been doing this for a good 40 years now, the only slack is in the coupler behind the engines, the trailers are connected by a variation of the ancient "link & pin" couplers. Dont know if there are still HO models of them on the market. Think of all the semi-tractors these take off the highways!!

Cool! I’ve never seen trailers rigged for the rails like that.

Sweet video! Just saw a report for NS 181! It’s got a BNSF warbonnet trailing a BNSF H1 today! Cleared Butler 30 minutes ago! Let me know if you get any other updates!

Does this train run daily, or on certain days? I would love to catch it crossing the River in Hannibal.

Wow! Is there anything linking those dollies together other than the van trailers, or are the trailers an actual stressed part of the consist??? I mean a semi trailer ain't exactly strong compared to what a rail flat car would be.
