Honestly I think trains are the best way for shipping/mail/freight cuz these can take on a lot of weight than any other vehicle plus they do have their own road instead of a public car road and air routes use for freight and transport yes freight trains main flaw are passenger trains cuz it slows them down but they don-t have to do to much stops. So air shipping is good for world wide shipping but trains are good for a national market

Thank you so much for this video! I want to learn not just about freight trains, but goods mobility and how products of each type get from one place to another. For example, those intermodal cars that carry clothing - where do they end up? Where does coal go and come from? How is food and drinks delivered by train to urban consumers? This is a great start; now I'd like to go into detail.

Even though most freights in the northeast take forever to fully pass by, I just love it because I get to film a lot of cars and even locomotives in the middle! There are mostly locals in my neighborhood. And they are quite tiny locomotives that run UNDERGROUND! I see them in subway stations a lot. My neighborhood is New York City. Its most common to have rear locomotives there.

You clarified one point for me: You described the car/truck wagons. On previous videos, because they were ventilated, I thought that they were conveying livestock, which suggested to me that cruelty was involved. You didn't mention livestock, does that mean that they are not conveyed by rail?

What about boxcars are they still used a lot and for what? Where I live, in Tunisia umfortunately train delivery of cargo has more or less been killed by trucks because the country is small. Only in the phosphate mines where millions of tons need to be moved are they still in use.

I would like to see an episode that explains how railroads interconnect engines to form a lashup or multi unit consist. What buttons, levers, and/or switches do they have push, throw and flip to get engines to work together as one. And how did they do this in the steam days.

Would have liked to see refrigerated transport covered (more than just mentioned, including both purpose-built refrigerator cars and refrigerated shipping containers (does the container train have a way to supply them with power, or do they have their own power supplies.

Great video. I think some of those coal hoppers are emptied by rotating them on a device that rotates the the entire car or cars while still coupled together. Usually one end the the car will be painted differently and have a stencil noting a rotating coupler.

While the containers themselves do carry various commodities like Merchandise (Hotshot) trains used to do, don't Intermodal freights count as unit trains since they typically include the same kind of cars?

Grain trains also carry phosphate. Phosphate is used in fertilizer I just call the grain trains agricultural trains due to the many agricultural needs moved in grain hoppers.
