Two Grainers, A Z, and a meet with a Manifest

At East Ripley, MP 1311, with two grainers, both with a Canadian National DPU, the second grainer makes a meet with a manifest, with an SD40-2 in the consist, almost a rolling meet! After the meet we get an eastbound Z.
I hope you enjoy the video!

Great video, Dave! 2 CN dpu's and both in the dance spot, very cool. Love foreign power. Watch jawtooth also, so I get allot of NS, CSX, and CE. Thanks for the video. My friend stay well roll on

[@PacificNWRailfan]

Thank you Mark and you're welcome! That was cool, usually don't see more than one foreign power in a days outing, to see two, both being CN and in the same location in the consist was really special! Thanks for watching my friend!

[@sebastianbarthel2393]

As rare the Sound of EMD locomotives got as more i enjoy it! Nice one, that CN- SD70!👍

[@PacificNWRailfan]

Thank you Sebastian! Nothing beats the sound of an EMD locomotive! Thanks for watching my friend!

[@frankpayne8281]

Always enjoy your videos. How long is the siding here (or is this the end of double-trackage at this location)?

[@PacificNWRailfan]

Thank you Frank! This siding is 9,568 feet long. Thanks for watching my friend!

[@ADPeguero]

That train on the siding at 7 or so minutes was pulling 90 cars with 6 leading locomotives (GEVOs and one SD40-2) and one Dash 9 trailing. I wonder if some of the front locomotives in the front were just along for the rid being taken somewhere because that seems like an awful lot of horse power for 90 cars.

[@PacificNWRailfan]

On that train, only the lead locomotive and the DPU were working, the rest were along for the ride. The SD40-2 in the consist was probably headed back to Whitefish, or another terminal as they are used for switching and locals. Thanks for watching my friend!

[@WH_Railfan84]

Awesome set of BNSF Catches. I noticed some CN was mixed in with those grain trains too!! Nice! Awesome sound as well. Hearing the trains coming from a far distance is pretty awesome.

[@PacificNWRailfan]

Thank you WH_Railfan84! This location is great for capturing the sounds of the locomotives. I thought it was pretty cool hearing the DPU on the manifest, throttle down some just as it takes the main. You should hear it on a real cold day, sometimes you can clearly hear the train coming when it's over 10 miles away! Thanks for watching my friend!

[@tucker9402]

[@PacificNWRailfan]

Thank you Kevin! It's in northwest Montana on BNSF's Kootenai River subdivision, which runs from Whitefish, Montana to Sandpoint, Idaho. This siding (Ripley) is located seven miles east of Libby, Montana. Thanks for watching my friend!
