Slow BNSF Coal Train Gets Passed by Amtrak in Cloud of Snow

[@LukeKetchum7003]

I can relate to this. The trains that pass through my town are nothing but coal cars.

[@jackwojno8530]

Slushy snow sprayed from Amtrak’s wheels. BNSF was covered from deck frame to cab.

[@ParabolicParable]

Nice! The Zephyr was ROLLING. Somewhere around here I've got a clip of the Chief running at what must be it's 90 mph speed limit in eastern Arizona - but no snow ;-) - great clip!

[@ATrainVideo]

Thank you.

[@antblake1030]

Growing up in Chicago, there are few things that bring me more joy than trains in the snow.

[@toddcampbell5603]

Great catch! Amazing what those one inch wheel flanges can make possible. Trains are made of magical stuff.

[@M80T]

Good catch of Amtrak and BNSF

[@IsaiahVerseRailfanning]

Great timing! Great angle! Thanks for keeping the video rolling, making it the rare gem that it is.

[@ATrainVideo]

Thanks, and you're welcome.

[@clivelawrance1326]

That Amtrack is sure hauling ass. He flew past the coal train. Great vieeo

[@edwardhudson5505]

That Amtrak train was going pretty fast.

[@jackwojno356]

It sprayed slushy snow all over the BNSF train.

[@TestTest-fm2cu]

That thrilling feeling when the crossing gates turn back on 😎

I've taken one Amtrak train in my life. NYC to DC. I travel by train all the time here in Europe. Need to do that more when I'm in the States.....

[@MikeJensen-jt9yr]

This is even better than watching the trains in fog. Nothing better than seeing a train at speed in powder snow. Nice.

[@rolandodiberna7970]

Better is to watch a Steam Train in huge snow

[@MikeJensen-jt9yr]

@@rolandodiberna7970 You've got me there! All steam is good steam. We just don't see that much anymore.

[@irelandbloke]

Awesome catch ! :)

Oh, how cool is this scene of an AMTRAK train hurtling through the ice. 6:55

[@ronfogarty3888]

Very cool I would love to have that snow instead of this heat it's never cool here until November keep it up

[@Midwesttrains21]

Nice catch, I love when they kick up snow like that

[@ATrainVideo]

Thanks.

[@davidelson2728]

139 wagons and 3 locos ! Amazing what do they carry and what’s the total weight and length of the train be ?

[@issacvassel1504]

Most likely coal

[@JunkYour925]

That was hauling A!

[@ultragor]

Never heard an Amtrak horn like that before!

[@warrenwilson4818]

Count the hoppers? Seemed a lot more than the usual 138 or so.

[@AmtrakTBL]

Awesome!

[@jamesburnside3023]

Great stuff

[@taslimchaudhry1431]

Superb Video. 🇮🇳

[@ATrainVideo]

Thanks.

[@exoressdelivers70]

If someone stepped in between the cars near the end of the train and was killed how would the engineer who is a mile away at the front even know that there was a fatality?

[@joshuahawkes7218]

they wouldn't, sadly its not uncommon for the next train to come across a mangled body by the tracks.

[@WarriorMike20]

@@joshuahawkes7218 so very true. U would have no clue that an idiot stepped in your path.

[@MegaSquadVincent]

If you put it on 1.25 speed it will look like the Amtrak is going 110 MPH, cool right.

[@czar6127]

Exciting stuff let me tell you. I was on the edge of my seat waiting for the Amtrak train (undoubtedly 4 plus hours late) fly by a coal train that was slowed down so it could pass!. Does it get any better?

[@Jleed989]

czar6127 Amtrak used to get priority. I’ve heard that’s changed

[@newcastlerails1416]

[@robertmosley6967]

Why did the freight have to stop? They were on different tracks.

[@ATrainVideo]

I think a train in front of it stopped to let Amtrak do its station stop in Ottumwa.

[@ElliottWolcott]

Nice video.

[@markiewodi3371]

It would be great except why do all camera folks feel the need to stand in front of that god forsaken railroad crossing bell? It’s the most annoying sound ever!! Christ man, get out and walk a 1/4 mile down the tracks. I mean unless you’re physically incapable of doing so. You would get such better sound than that effin bell. This video would’ve been 1000% better if there wasn’t that effin bell. When I would go vid trains in the snow, I love showing how truly silent and dangerous they can be. Great video A+, But like I said if ya coulda sloshed about a 1/4, 1/8 mile to your right it would be killer!! If you are physically unable my apologies cause it is a spooky video.

[@farmboy197760]

Sure the freight train is slower, it’s much longer and much heavier

[@kerrydinwiddie2080]

Don't cause amtrak of anything
