Arrivals, Departures and Crew Changes on the Transcon at the BNSF Amarillo Depot (Junior Tower)

Just how busy is Amarillo's BNSF Depot where almost every train has a crew change? Very busy, with up to three trains at a time stopped at the depot.
Amarillo is a central location on the BNSF Transcon and a very convenient place for crews to end and start their 12-hour shift. In the old days of the AT&SF Railway, this location was a Yardmaster Office. In this video you will see photos of the old Yardmaster's Office as well as a photo of the interior. This video is the best way to visit this location because access to the site by car is difficult.
One of the trains departing from this location has over 200 cars and six locomotives. Don't miss the exciting action of one of the hottest BNSF Transcon locations in the nation.

Interesting To See A Intermodal &Unit Tank Train Combined

Yes it is! I think that possibly the crew on one of the trains went dead-on-the-law, so they combined them into one train.

Do They Do Crew Changes In Lubbock?

[@BNSFAmarillo]

I'm not sure. Lubbock is not on the Transcon so there would be much less traffic through there.
