Tectonic motion has shifted the North American Plate from east to west over a hotspot located under the Columbia Plateau and ranging from the Pacific boundary to Yellowstone Park. It caused the formation of the oldest but still active volcanos located on the western boundary in the Cascade Range, and currently creates all those fascinating geothermal features in Yellowstone National Park. The Columbia Basin resides in between and BNSF's Lakeside Subdivision (and UP's Ayer Sub) crosses it in north-south direction. So, BNSF trains literally ride on cold volcanic lava with a hot plume underneath it. Enjoy the selection of BNSF trains shown in this video, caught on the trip from Spokane, WA to Pasco, WA on 6/21/2018!
