Western Railroading Series: Heavy Coal Trains Battle Grades in Wyoming's Powder River Basin

[@trainmanlen6786]

Coal trains in Wyoming are my all time favorites... Really enjoyed your video! 👍

[@RiverLineProductions]

They certainly are a sight to behold. Glad you liked it!

I worked in a railcar repair shop in Grand Island, Nebraska that had Burlington Northern tracks come by on the North side of our plant and Union Pacific on the South side and we received railcars from both. We did routine maintenance and repair on a lot of coal cars that ran on Burlington Northern. We even worked on some coal cars that were called 'million milers' because, as that implies, they had over a million miles on them. I believe i even saw some of the types of coal cars that we worked on. We also worked on some boxcars, lumber cars and comparment cars. Ok

52:09 what was the point of that move? lol

[@jaywalker523]

Living in Grand Island, Nebraska, i saw more coal trains on Burlington Northen than freighters come through there. I was living there when they did the buildup to raise the trains on Burlington Northern so they could go over the Union Pacific tracks so they didn't have to stop and wait on their trains to go through town.

awesome video-had the pleasure of train spotting in powder river last year-converse junction was my favorite--coming back this year from new zealand

Those empty trains really fly!

[@RiverLineProductions]

Indeed! It’s a cool contrast seeing the struggling loaded trains with the higher speed empties

[@brandonreeves5979]

Incredible footage! Thanks for all the commentary and description of what the units are. 👍🏻🎥💯

O Man What a View i Love This Video

[@roberthenry9319]

Marvelous. Thank you.

[@TaylorRodCarter]

I only like BNSF trains so this is awesome

[@NorthCountryTrains]

WOW was that a production. Too bad I missed the premiere, duty calls. To anyone who says coal is dead, they must just be talking about eastern/Appalachian coal…

[@RiverLineProductions]

Thanks, Harrison! Yeah, the levels of coal haulage out west are unmatched. Absolutely dwarfs anything in the east

[@joelnordstrom8049]

I never saw a bi-cenntennial themed coal car before

[@southernpennsyrailfan8579]

So is this region Strictly Coal Trains or do other trains like Manifests and intermodal trains pass through here?

[@philhyde983]

Are these trains still running here with good frequency?

[@ajidamarjati]

At 52:55 , UPRR #6923, Is that AC6000CW? (Yes i know the correct designation is AC4460CW)

[@navyrailfan74]

Do you have coordinates or direction for that spot on Logan hill … I’m going through in March

[@sethbader3142]

[@sethbader3142]
