Trains of the FW&D Volume 1 - The BN Years

[@HyperActive7]

I have to say this really brings back memories of when classic EMD and GE power were like flies around here.

[@brettheckjenders7338]

very nice videos. BN is one of my favorite railroads.

[@jameswyatt1304]

Always B(ee)N one of mine. It's the road I started on decades ago and quite a ride.

[@roymelius4128]

Halfway between Fort Worth & Denver, my hometown...Dalhart, TX.

[@devernepersonal3636]

I was born in 93. I really w ish I had been older so I could enjoy BN.

[@jerryvoss1111]

Nice videos on both volumes Jerry

I live in the UK and model BN/BNSF based loosely on the yard at Fremont. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@anb7408]

I miss those strobe-lighted SD60Ms.

[@stephenadams595]

Did anyone see the Great Northern box car at 3:15?. Still earning its keep 23 years after the merger that created BN.

[@Greatdome99]

There was one just like that used at tool storage at Sand Point Idaho well into the 2000s.

[@fwsauerteig]

Great BN Action! But where is volume 2?

[@jameswyatt1304]

It was the next suggested one when I viewed. Try using v=v2CKCa7Z1xg

[@jayjowers5530]

Whats the imfo on that derailment

[@benkempf298]

train at 2:31 any idea what year this is... awesome train... no grafitti!

[@Howard1939]

Sure didn't have the graffitti problems then that are normal now.

[@jameswyatt1304]

I don't know that I've seen that much difference. I wonder if it differs on routes with different car dwells and yards closer to cities. When I started designing and building railway vision systems in '93, I was amazed at the amount of graffiti on the cars. The car shops and inspectors don't seem to care as long as the placarding and SCAC/serial aren't obscured. Sadly, it's the best paint on some cars. I don't like that it represents trespassing and most of it's just scraggly tagging, but some of the murals are interesting.

Those LMX units were junk. Worst seats I ever seen in a new unit. Plus they rode terrible.
