Montana Rail Link: Footprints of the Northern Pacific

[@irelandbloke]

Awesome shots ! 👍

[@yankeesforlife24]

Amazing vid. It’s really interesting to see Mrl aces 4400, 4401 and 4403 working locals bc they have been assigned to helper service here in Livingston for a while now. Again great video

[@terrysweat4187]

I can say one thing, it sure is some beautiful country they get to travel through that’s for sure.!!!

[@bnsf7562]

One of the reasons why I love it out there so much!

[@garryproud8198]

Thats fantastic SD 40 The middle banker doesn't get much better than that and great scenery thankyou from Western Australia

[@ddblink02]

This is really well put together. Nicely done.

[@bnsf7562]

Thank you!

[@j.m.youngquist419]

You've got a great eye for the best shots!

[@dennisbrowder6316]

Thanks, a really great video.

[@j.m.youngquist419]

You do an amazing job, thanks!

[@kempmt1]

Those train drivers (or whatever you call them) gets to see the beautiful sites on their runs. 19:29-"oh, goodie, this one has a caboose at the end!

[@finaldraft151]

1:39:19 - That was a pretty hard hit. I'm thinking he didn't want to couple to that set of cars with that much force. Great video - Keep 'em coming!

[@TheSupradude26]

The paint scheme on the MRL stuff has always been one of my favorites, along with the red white and blue scheme that BC Rail has used along with their newer dark blue with silver trim scheme.

[@scottoakley3206]

Very nicely done. When I want to zone out and think about a road trip this is the go-to video!

[@russellrhew591]

Great, well done video. From MT originally and next time I'm home I'll visit a few spots.

[@bnsf7562]

Thanks! I'm really hoping to get back out there soon. Not sure when it's going to be though.

[@rolpfeiffermuller935]

Thanks airing and sharing the outstanding video..Endeavors are prominent.Bliss

[@redbarnz]

The lighting is really nice; mornings and evenings are the best time to shoot in Montana.

[@regisbrooks8064]

Great 👌 video MRL and BNSF former BN and Northern Pacific heritage

[@josephvalinski849]

Are there any dispatching jobs available in Montana? How did you like working for them?

[@j.m.youngquist419]

Fantastic scenery

[@j.m.youngquist419]

Big blue just exudes confidence Great Corporate Image

[@youngwarrior2]

Love the video. btw the bird you called a great heron is actually an American White Pelican.

[@dougberry1011]

Great video. Like the EMD SD70 ACE’s

[@j.m.youngquist419]

Looks like quite a climb out of the city!

[@rudolffabrie3233]

Great video

Thank you!

I have several Montana Rail link engines ,(HO on my layout. It covers the Pacific North west and the Canadian Pacific and Northern Rockies. It’s a huge layout and takes up more the 5/8ths of the upstairs and is extremely detailed and over 25 engines and some Steam a few big BoBoys and Northerns . It was originally set up as steam. I even was able to score a Blue ridge (Virginian) and an Allegheny both 2666 wheel arrangement. I converted 1 into a DMI&R Yellowstone by changing the decals th

[@steeplecab]

You've got some really great videography here, but please buy your audio guy some hearing aides. The sound levels are all over the place. The intro music is so loud I turned it down and consequently missed the intro narration. If I was dealing with horns and bells that loud I'd move away from them. Being that loud they simply detract from the rest of the work. But the video really captures the feel of the late afternoon heat and dust of late summer.

[@djpopmix]

Coisa bonita de se ver!!!

[@taslimchoudhary1253]

Awesome Video 🇮🇳

[@bnrailfannz8262]

Great videos! But spoilt by the digital cameras ' shutter's noise.Maybe if you stood away from the microphone?

[@beeble2003]

Was thinking the same myself. Also, shouldn't be necessary to take a dozen photographs just to get the shot you want.

[@PacificNWRailfan]

Nice video. BNSF did not sell the tracks to MRL, they leased them to MRL.

[@bnsf7562]

I do remember that now. Thanks for the clarification!

[@SIGINT007]

And now BNSF gets them back again

[@beeble2003]

Actually, BN only leased the line to MRL and it was in 1987, not 1992. BNSF and MRL have now agreed to terminate the lease and, subject to the Surface Transportation Board, the line will be returning to BNSF operation.

[@californiaporg]

31:51 ah Bozeman my favorite town in Montana

[@JodyBee]

Cool to see csx in that territory

[@tonyordaziii7250]

Will you be going to Wyoming to film some Union Pacific trains

[@bnsf7562]

I have no current plans to travel to Wyoming.

[@8Throtl1]

Great videos, but for me, it was like watching paint dry. Milwaukee Road, then MRL retired locomotive engineer.

[@j.m.youngquist419]

I didn't know that they still ran some cabooses up there, was it a train under restrictions?

[@franzbrunner499]

just after 21 min of the video, leading BNSF 4008 passes a railroad crossing -where is that exactly? private road or could i access the same spot also?

[@bnsf7562]

The crossing leads to a private residence on the other side of the tracks, but you can easily access it from the road to the right. If you take exit 324 off I-90 and then head north, you're pretty much there.

[@DistanceNsVeterans]

rails unlimed used to have a rail link with a SD70 high hood tho

[@AustinWesternRailfan]

This has nothing to do with Roblox

[@DistanceNsVeterans]

@@AustinWesternRailfan ik but they did made a sd70ace high hood in the game but its replaced with just a normal sd70ace

[@MittenBuckeyeStateRails]

What was your Intro music

[@bnsf7562]

It's called 'Offroad' and it's a supplied song in the Apple iMovie Audio Library.

[@mountainmanwannabe9495]

Ummm....those were Pelicans and not Grey Herons along the Missouri River.

[@lamontbowe8511]

19:47. That's the Transit Police in the caboose. Something valuable is on that train.

[@8Throtl1]

FYI: Cabooses are no longer used in train service. They are now used mostly in switching operations, work trains or locals. This caboose is unmanned and being transported from one place to another. Some cabooses can be in the manifest of the train, others with coupler restrictions must be rear-end-only.

A good chunk of those coal drags are now sadly a thing of the past as the Boardman plant in Oregon shut down. Another casualty of Obama’s “war on coal.”

[@beeble2003]

Because you watching the trains you like to see is so much more important than looking after the only planet we have to live on.

[@steeplecab]

Your political comment shows your lack of understanding of capitalism and market forces. Portland GE made a decision based on market research and plant replacement costs. Boardman was only a small segment of the westbound coal traffic, and the coal to Centralia and the export coal market is still strong. We see nearly as much coal across the MRL as we ever did.

[@jamesedwards7241]

15 minutes in and I know why I stopped watching this guys video's,

[@bnsf7562]

Do you have something against MRL SD70ACes? :D

[@dapto234]

FFS how many bloody photos of the same thing do you need to take :|

[@bnsf7562]

As many as I like!! :)

[@bnrailfannz8262]

I'm with you on the camera 'chatter'. Love the video,just not the camera noise.

[@franzbrunner499]

@@bnsf7562 very good answer -obviously he has no clue about making really good photographs (not just a tourist picture to show friends, for that a mobile is most likely enough) -enjoyed the video tremendously, i can imagine how patient you have to be to create almost 2 hours -will visit this area in late May, early June -really looking forward

[@bnsf7562]

I really hope you enjoy yourself! It's been seven years since I've gotten out to this area and would really like to go back, but it might be a bit before that happens.

[@JodyBee]

Hey buddy all you have to do is not look or watch its just that simple

[@benkempf]

Any idea where kempf Productions is out of? Was this video created by @bnsf7562 ? Great video of my 2 favorite railroads.

[@bnsf7562]

It's a made up entity. Something I did when I was in high school. It just stuck, so I kept it. Thanks for looking!

[@benkempf]

@@bnsf7562 do we share a last name?

[@bnsf8610]

ATSF never had SD75I's they had SD75M's BNSF got the SD75I's after the merger.

[@bnsf7562]

Got it. I always got them mixed up because to me, they just looked like SD70Ms. Thanks for the clarification!

[@steeplecab]

@@bnsf7562 The I indicates a sound isolated cab. It appears as a seam behind and under the cab and across the nose in front of the cab a couple inches wide that isolates the cab from vibrations from the rest of the body. Once you see it, it stands out easily.
