A train with only three consists and all grain cars can be pretty much be predicted to an 'empty grain train' if headed east from Whitefish, Montana. They are returning the empty grain cars from the shipping ports on the west coast to Mid America grain storage facilities to be reloaded. If there are helpers engines on the rear of the empty grain trains it is because the helpers have to be refueled at Whitefish and are returning to Essex for helper duties.

All my Essex trackside footage was recorded from the same side where the Amtrak station and the Izaak Walton Inn (main building) are located: There, westbounds go from left to right (actually south to north in this section), and eastbounds from right to left (north to south). So, the video descriptions should be correct.

The electric trains are powerful as hell, it is really something watching one start to move, no sign of strain just smooth acceleration.

My favorite was the Ferromex, though. This was the color I least expected to see this far north.

I believe it, but still one would think there's more Canadian power than anything southern on trains thru Wenatchee. Interesting you mention the all-CP lashup. I shouldn't pretend I understand the northwest, but I saw all-CP trains on UP's Ayer Sub near Spokane. Hence I'm tempted to speculate that the train you saw was actually a UP train rerouted to BNSF for some reason (track work, accident, etc.).

It seemed to me that the only wobble was as the concist passed over the turnouts

Hello 2 citirail

Seems to me that where ever you go, you always happen to see a Ferromex. Ha

Lol, I missed one in Arizona last year, though. I'd rather expected to see one there and not this far to the north!

Superb catches. BNSF=boring power except in the mid west.

Twice, at least, I've been to Marias Pass, and both times cheated. I don't think trains run here. No more than Stampede Pass, lol. Should I mention Martin Burwash's "curse of Stampede Pass"? It's real. I lost a bumper on a truck and lost a brand new tire on a Jeep there, and no trains. Oh, I saw trains on Marias, but only whilst driving from one place to another. Do they hide behind the trees?

Lol, I perfectly understand what you mean. You drive on this beautiful highway and see the trains, but there's no way to stop and then you get to places like Marias Pass and nothing shows up. I was a bit luckier, but I wish I could have filmed at some locations that were simply breathtaking. An intermodal sneaking along a rock face is simply an awesome sight...

The tracks are very isolated from the road during the descent from Summit to Java. I recommend wis465's channel as he's got some nice videos of how beautiful the valley can be as you're ascending that hill.

Funny you mention it. I was also somewhat surprised to see this much D9 power on this line, but it seemed to me most of the loaded unit trains had actually primarily AC units.
