Note the AI voice incorrectly pronounces the pass as 'Cay-john' pass.

CAJUN? Really? Lose the virtual voice! The 'j' is pronounced like an 'h', so Ca-Hone is the proper pronunciation. If the train is heading west, most of the containers are likely empty, heading back to the port to be loaded onto ships bound for the Orient to be refilled. So how factual is this video? I would question most of it because the downgrade ISN'T 60 miles long. It's prehaps 5 miles max. I've driven it many times and the trains follow the interstate very closely.

As if listening to AI destroy the English-Spanish language isn't punishment enough, you inject footage of the Union Pacific "Big Boy" and the C&O RR Alleghany, both of which ceased operations around or before 1960. We are NOT children. We are RR enthusiasts and would hope you treat us as such. Adding footage of engines retired 60+ years ago shows your level of understanding, not ours.
