Burlington Northern Railroad Path of a Giant

[@davidmihevc3990]

Wow, this is some great footage. F units, SD 40-2's, caboose and no graffiti. Like going back in time.

[@BillP-kg1yp]

That's very creative cinematography with closeups of the wheels, the trucks, knuckles on the coupler, etc.

I loved seeing these trains with the beautiful colors and logo BN was a better logo than bnsf has today Same with the colors

Burlington Northern Railroad was a railroad that operated between 1970 and 1996.

[@douglasskaalrud6865]

When that hot TOFC train blasts by the camera I get the chills.

[@alvinmorris5404]

LOL try being there in the winter those little snowflakes picked up and pulled along with the train feel like a million tiny razorblades when they hit bare skin! If you're that close you're a dedicated railfan and you'll actually enjoy the sting!😆

[@zackbobby5550]

@@alvinmorris5404 As a freight conductor, if you're "that close", please back away from the tracks. You should not be that close. I love railfanning but it's a problem when you become a hazard to the crew.

That goes hard, feel free to screen record

For anyone watching this for nostalgia like me, I recommend a promotional film BN put out in the '80s or early '90s called Train 110. It had this sort of feel to it as it tracked a single carload from Washington to Chicago. Interviewed a bunch of people along the way- engineers, dispatchers, carmen, MOW, everyone whose craft that carload touched on its way. I watched it about once a month growing up. Don't know where its available.

These days are long gone but it’s good to know they once existed

[@JD-om3kt]

That’s a sweet camaro at the beginning!!

[@jeffreymcfadden9403]

the camaro(F) body was assembled at 2 locatons. Norwood,Ohio(good reputation for quality)and Van Nuys, Ca. the van nuys plant was at the time THE worst quality plant in all of GM. so, what did GM do? ,,,,they closed norwood and moved production to van nuys! in sep/oct of 1973 i took a tour of the Norwood plant.

Probably melted down and a Honda now

[@jupitertheplanet1667]

Aren’t the Tankers with the “B” logo on them fuel cars for certain SD40-2s?

Best shots: 4:51 0:01 5:42 2:52

[@bnsfbandit9807]

This is AMAZING!!!

[@adamalfredsson373]

When was this film made, I’m guessing 70s or 80s

[@STEEPPOW]

Refreshing to see someone do anything besides look at her phone when paused while driving. Very naturally beautiful girl. She’s probably in her 70s now. Time flies.

[@phillyfan-182]

Most likely yeah I would say 70s

[@MasterChef-ux3gk]

Like the video said, the train is thousands of ton moving and they dont stop!!!

[@okrasaghia]

A little colour correction would do a lot to this. Turn down the blue component. Now the engines look like Montana Rail Link.

[@mmandmcb14]

Any footage used in Shining Time Station?

[@SebastianLandrus]

Burlington northern pre-merger video I like from the 70s I think

[@SebastianLandrus]

Look listen and live those are the railroad safety words I remember memorizing, and I still remember, and I always will just to be on the safe side

Leslie RS3K horns

[@MasterChef-ux3gk]

Those kids should never play on trains ever

[@nssteampunk4865]

Several of my friends caught trespassers climbing on train cars in Zanesville, Ohio with their photographer (notorious for trespassing in illegal areas for "perfect shots" to make money) taking the photo of them endangering themselves. The photographer was banned from Ohio Central Railroad yard.

[@airplanebuilderman]

Ohh it’s moving a second before it actually does.

[@burroaks7]

I feel like the kids got killed but they didn't show it

[@kingofthepod5169]

They leave it up to interpretation for a reason.

[@okrasaghia]

Staged clip for the safety movie.
