Those are some cool lookin BNSF Metra cars!

[@sethamtrak]

nice catch with the CP es44dc on train Z-SSECHC!

[@TommyBNSF]

Damn no horn on 161, and 5634 is an AC4400CW. Nice video!

[@AmtrakEnthusiast]

At 6:21 that is a Amtrak phase IV superliner which is rare!

[@sethamtrak]

i was on the sierra hotel and we hit a patch of fresh balast dust and we had to go back inside!

[@AmtrakTitan455]

I saw that Southwest Chief with the private car the day before.

Damn, you actually HAVE stuff running by your platforms...unlike me. I'll be lucky to catch a local job in daylight where I'm at on the NEC.

[@JoaoT805]

great video.

[@MP36er]

The cars with the BNSF logos are owned by BNSF and leased to Metra - they're holdovers from when CB&Q owned and operated the commuter service. And yes, those cars are 60+ years old!

[@NVKRailVideos]

Nice!

[@KCSLines]

well hell bro....Metra has BNSF markings on it!

[@eeeman07]

was 99 in any of the recent grade crossing incidents?

[@KCSLines]

this is kinda of an odd question, but did Metra and BNSF merge?
