The distant sound of that SD40-2 horn almost brought me to tears. When i was a kid, i spent a lot of time at my grandparents house and i remember laying in bed at night and hearing that horn in the distance. It just brought back so many memories and reminded me how much i miss my grandparents. 😢

Yes it was one of my favorite programs to shoot

Railway productions I wish you guys would do the trains of Galesburg 2 or the trains of Lafayette Indiana 2

3:59 Fun Fact: At Spokane, WA., the westbound Empire Builder splits into two trains, with this half going to Seattle over Stevens Pass, and the other half going to Portland, Oregon along the Columbia River Gorge on the Washington side of the river.

Burlington Northern must've loved the SD40-2's, because they used to roster a lot of them.

Why then were the SD70ACEs retired but the oldest C44-9Ws rebuilt into AC4400Ws then. Just look at what the NS is doing rebuilding every dash 9 they can find but selling off the EMD fleet as fast as possible. It comes down to fuel efficiency the EMD burns 10 to 15 percent more than that GE does. With diesel fuel over 3 bucks a gallon without fuel taxes and at full throttle an EMD burns over 200 gallons an hour compared to 175 for the GE engine which one are you keeping around.

Nice video, I live up in B.C. so it's nice to see a little bit of the American side of the Cascades

Thank you for your generosity

Awesome I own this dvd and it’s amazing

I’m a local in the area. Thank you for coming out to this truly beautiful location. I love seeing those cascade green locos in their final days before the merger.

It was kind of a sweet spot in time. The corporate merger was in effect, all the crews used “BNSF” on the radio, but the two railroads were still being run separately.

Thanks for sharing and doing this important story of our country's most northern rail road, and its progress over the years!

3:57 above the river for whatever it is crossing. The train is crossing below using the bridge. Above, below.

I have this one on DVD! Thanks for streaming it!

The only dvd version I have is the one licensed by Topics Entertainment but I’ll get the regular dvd in the future

Pretty cool to see my home route in a time years before I was even though of. I wish I had seen more of those SD40s.

This is one of your DVD’s i’ve never owned, thanks for posting!

Great video, it brought back many fond memories of railfanning this area back in the late '70's.

This video was shot in 1996.

On the former Great Northern Railway.

3:58 Was the Empire Builder one of the last holdouts for the F40PH until more of the Genesis locomotives arrived on Amtrak?

thanks for sharing the historical vid - Skykomish is a really neat little community. You can walk much of the older high line through the area used before the opening of the lower tunnel .

beautiful country.

Thanks for all your work!!!!

Good Video! Train 604 @ 10m to Trail. I suspect that train is carrying lead and zinc concentrates from the Red Dog mine in Alaska. Trail has nothing to do with aluminum; just lead and zinc. Last I heard BNSF has since lost that contract and these days it is done by the CPR through Vancouver.

The trees have grown up there so much many of these shots are no longer possible...

Stevens Pass looks nice

But in the future just like the BNSF merger it will now merge Canadian pacific and Kansas City southern merger just like BNSF merger in 1995

​@BlueDays_BlackKnights steel on steel has some of the lowest rolling resistance out there. The SD40-2 produces roughly 120k pounds of tractive effort each that is the pulling force. Now on flat terrain that would be around 100 cars on a 2.2 percent grade it drops to around 25 cars or so. AL Krug a retired railroader has a blog if you can find it that explains the math.

As he said before the merger and before he was forced out by Krebs if possible the only thing I want leading on anything hotter than the local on this railroad from now on better be Red and Sliver.
