Something about those old SD40-2s, they just make it look effortless rolling tonnage. That is the engine of my youth. Growing up in Minot, ND, in the 80s, you could turn around without seeing an SD40-2, either BN or SOO. Used to fall asleep listening to 'em howl lifting their train out of the Souris Valley, west of Minot.

what a cool vid... especially that GP30!!!... and every time i see a cascade green SD40, i always think of the powder river basin... also @ 7:17... THANK YOU!!!!!!... FINALLY someone who shoots a train from the INSIDE of the curve... never understood why so many film the outside of the curve... they miss the visual drama of the train going into the superelevation

My husband is willing to work for another 5 years if needed. Are we in good shape? Will we be okay if I begin withdrawing from Social Security when I'm 40 and my husband is 41? Should we hire a financial planner to help us navigate this?
@CliffErik4 сағат бұрын
These are crucial questions for a financial planner. I met mine at a NYSE summit, and with her help, my wife and I reallocated our $1.7M portfolio between a traditional IRA and a brokerage account. She's been making investments with our approval and has helped us recover twice our losses. We're holding steady and carefully navigating more markets

Excellent footage and variety of shots! Having been a former BNSF Conductor out of Superior, WI I'm well familiar with the Northtown Yard but have only arrived and departed from it on the Hinckley Sub. We had two of the old BN GP's like these in Superior back then (2015 -2017) and used them for a couple of locals and spotting close by industries. I was most familiar with BN1953, but heard that shortly after I left it was relocated to Northtown where I lost track of it. Thanks for bringing back some memories! 👍

Ahhh the 2749!! Love that unit so much. I caught it many times when it was on the Buck Local out here in Colorado earlier this year. It was on that local from late March - early June. Right after it left Colorado it went up to that ADM plant where the GMTX geep was. Glad to see the 2749 back on BNSF operations.
