I visited the Union Pacific Gila Subdivision in July of 2021 and captured a couple days worth of incredible action! The track speed is 70 MPH, and without any restriction or track work, these trains use every bit of it to transport goods with high efficiency! The temperature was around 105 degrees but didn't stop me from venturing into the desert heat for some footage.
Plus, with the speed of these trains, they bring LOTS of wind and ground shaking footage. A lot of the videos I got start with the camera moving since I'm zoomed in, and aside from moving back from the track on those shots, I decided to leave it as is. To me, it feels like I'm really there, up close and personal with the Union Pacific Railroad!
Please enjoy the video!

Welcome to Trains 5.9!
Thanks for stopping by! I hope you enjoy the video.
I generally film trains on the Union Pacific / BNSF Joint Line in Colorado, but I also travel farther south to catch trains on the BNSF Southern Transcon in Texas and Arizona, as well as the Union Pacific Sunset Route.
Thanks again!
