3 Trains At The Twin Bridges

Went Down To The River Tonight, on This Beautiful +30 Day. And Filmed Three Trains. The First Was Westbound Stack 101-26, The Second Was Eastbound Sulfur Empty 608-065 And The Third Was Another Westbound Stack, 107-26.

If You Are Wondering Why The Second Unit Is Around 4500Ft - 5000Ft, Deep In The 2 Stack Trains. It Is Because In High Heat And Higher Altitudes, The Air In The Brake Pipes Get Thin And It Is Almost Impossible To Maintain 90PSI Of Pressure Throught Longer Trains.

So The Unit Is Place Towards The End To Help Maintain Proper Air Pressure And Also Ensure That There Is Enough Pressure In The Pipes, To Cause A Rapid Rate Of Reduction. If The Train Is Placed in Emergency.

This also Can Be The Cause In Extreme Colds Also, When Air Becomes Extremely Dense.
