Burlington Northern in the 90s Part I a compilation

This footage was mostly taken in Illinois, Barstow, Savanna, and Galesburg area.

[@dmoneygc2086]

3041 had an amazing Leslie 5-chime, I think this video is the best and only example on You-Tube of BN Gp38's or GP40's with a Leslie. Thanks for the killer footage!

[@jefftoft5568]

You are quite welcome! Hope you find and enjoy my other BN 90s videos. Thanks for watching!

[@dmoneygc2086]

I have, and I do quite enjoy them! Best BN videos on here by a long mile, thank you so much for sharing your killer catches, always brings a smile to my face!

It was a former Frisco loco. They used that type of horn

[@Lakeside_Rail_Productions]

I can't believe how long you've been railfanning, love to see some old BN.

[@jefftoft5568]

Go to my Galesburg playlist and you will find BN from the 90s, thanks for watching!

R.I.P Burlington Norther. Wish I could've seen such beautiful trains.

[@jefftoft5568]

They were fun to watch.

[@SpokaneAreaRails]

BN locos are still roaming with small patches I caught one on June 1st

[@ThisHandleIsNotTaken.]

They’re still around like train hunter said. You should find them roaming around or at a yard. I found a sad sight kzbin.info/www/bejne/q2Somo2kqNWfiM0

[@DaimosZ]

Apparently a few patched BN Dash 8's wound up and still work in Brazil of all places

[@tnrpvideo1414]

Thanks so much for sharing! This is great footage.

[@jefftoft5568]

Thanks for watching! That had been posted a while back, glad you found it.

[@tnrpvideo1414]

@@jefftoft5568 Yeah, one of your shots had BN 9279 which is now BNSF 1456 and serves as a local unit around my area, I probably have almost 100 pictures of it, LOL. Great quality for early 90's!

[@drewcarlson3395]

I just bought an N scale model of 3110 seen at 1:20 love that high vis paint scheme and the modified roadname on the side

[@jefftoft5568]

That is a sharp looking unit, I think a friend of mine has that unit as well in N scale. Thanks for watching Drew.

[@matthewcurtis8280]

Fantastic video! That ex Frisco U30B was a surprise in the first couple of shots as I believed the last of these were retired in 1992!

[@jefftoft5568]

Thank you! I don't remember seeing to many of them. Thanks for watching!

[@brianbooher7318]

Thanks for documenting an sharing a peice of history. we will never see these great green trains again but atleast we can watch them on your videos

[@jefftoft5568]

Thank you Brian I appreciate that, thanks for watching!

[@Madam_schaffer5747]

There are still quite a few of these green mechanics still in active service in Northern Minnesota

[@kens.3729]

Love the Old Green BNSF Units. ALL Aboard. Thanks 🙏 for sharing, Jeff and Stay Safe. 👍

[@jefftoft5568]

Thanks Ken, I loved the BN back in those days.

[@thatoneguy611]

Back then it was just BN

[@StormySkyRailProductions]

Awesome stuff once again Jeff.

[@jefftoft5568]

Thank you! I love the old BN clips.

[@StormySkyRailProductions]

@@jefftoft5568 You are welcome.

[@nitrofumes2012]

Back in the day, we called the LMX units “sharks” because of the fin shaped triangle on their sides. We also called those GE b units “twinkies” just because of their shape.

[@nitrofumes2012]

Great video!

Thank you Javi!

[@chessieds7887]

Excellent collection of BN shots! I didn't recognize all locations, but saw you shot some around Barstow and what looked like up by Savanna. I used to drive up to that crossing that was right near the lookout (I think there was a boat ramp there) and catch some action back in the 90's.

[@jefftoft5568]

Thanks for watching, yeah I liked shooting from the look out point at The Palisades.

[@WesternSouthDakotaRailfan2006]

Amazing

[@jefftoft5568]

Thank you!

[@hunterriley9904]

Love those green and white locomotives

I do too! Thanks for watching Hunter!

Nice to see Leasing Locomotives and EMD Locomotives Company Too

[@jefftoft5568]

Yes sir!

[@dmoneygc2086]

The 3503 has an extremely appealing horn as well.

[@jefftoft5568]

I like the sound of those!

[@deborahmaciak5692]

19:19 Great RS3K horn!

[@jefftoft5568]

👍

[@sockrebellion1]

I miss that old green paint scheme

[@jefftoft5568]

Yep, there are a few still roaming around.

[@devernepersonal3636]

you mississipi river route fans back in the day were fearless with nothing but track and water to choose from 6:16. Very great shots. risk for reward. i would have always been too nervous to shoot that.

[@jefftoft5568]

Thanks!

Nice

[@jefftoft5568]

Thank you Nancy!

[@crystalboutte9880]

Wish it was still around

[@jefftoft5568]

Me too, it was a good road to watch.

[@jarrietfair6497]

I miss the BN and glad that they merged with Santa Fe railroad and not Union Pacific

[@jefftoft5568]

I miss both of them. I have a short BN video coming out in the morning from 1988 along with a few Amtrak out of Galesburg. Thanks for watching!

[@louisianamainlineproductions]

In the beginning of the video that RS3L sounds beautiful

[@jefftoft5568]

Thanks Louisiana Railfan!

[@louisianamainlineproductions]

NO

[@louisianamainlineproductions]

One quick question

[@leechristmas9770]

Hey Jeff, I noticed that its nearly impossible to find a BN Dash 8 or Dash 9 from these old films. Is there a reason for this?

[@jefftoft5568]

BN never had any, C30-7s were the only six axle GEs. Now BNSF had Dash 9s. My first BNSF painted units I saw were Dash 9s.

[@railyardfilms6491]

Bn back in it's fresh color's

[@jefftoft5568]

You did not see many units with that paint on the front.

[@brandedmcgowan9414]

Was those widecab sd60 equipped with alternative current (AC)?

[@jefftoft5568]

I don’t think so, that had not been introduced yet.

[@camssmitty1897]

so at what year did the BN Locomotive go without any didtch lights, to 2 strobes, then alternating ditch lights.

[@jefftoft5568]

I think the BN did strobes on their own in 1993 and the Federal government said all railroads had to have ditch lights in 1995.

What aircraft parts were in this video?

[@jefftoft5568]

Cockpit and fuselage sections.

@@drrockf4d Oh wow! I couldn't see it on my phone but I did on my desk top, that is crazy. You must have good eyes to pick that out of all that blur going by. Thanks for telling me about that. I am always amazed by what people pick out in my videos that I don't see. Thanks again.

[@colinthepanamerican]

1:21 Why does the front look like a CP?? Lol 😂😆😝

[@jefftoft5568]

It was an experimental tiger stripe paint job. Only a couple units got painted like that. It was short lived.

[@colinthepanamerican]

Ohhhh okay

[@colinthepanamerican]

Also why is there connecticut southern B40-8’s in the Midwest??

[@jefftoft5568]

Never saw them, not sure what your talking about.

[@colinthepanamerican]

Those LMX standard cab dash 8’s that I saw in two parts of the video.

[@jefftoft5568]

There were a hundred of those leased by the BN for twenty years just like the Oakways or EMD SD60s were. They were both long term leases.@@colinthepanamerican
