    This is a long grain train! There was a 2-4-2 power set up on the train to move the train over the road.. That power arrangement indicates that, as you said, this was a single train created by combining two separate trains. The drone footage and the ground footage were impressive. It was nice to see a Montana Rail Link engine as one of the mid-train DPUs. I was also impressed with the well-manicured roadbed with concrete ties on Providence Hill.

      Thanks so much Thomas! Yeah the MRL unit was a great bonus I was happy to see. The BNSF really does keep this portion of the line in good shape. I believe it's the lengthiest double track main section on the Lakeside Sub at somewhere around 15 miles.

      From the perspective of a spotter it's definetly an advantage to have rail line which isn't electrified.
      In that case the landscape is stunning as well and with the track following the hillside you have some nice curves on the line.

    Is this a regular train or a special one made up? And how do the marshalling yards handle so many cars each end?

    Incredible video! In India we are trying to run such trains (but nothing so long). There are some big differences with the US. a) Most of the lines are electrified so we don’t see that many diesel locomotives b) Freight trains run on dedicated lines separate from passenger trains. Having said this India is the land of American locomotives. Our earliest were Alco. We have literally 1000s of them. Now being replaced by EMD and hi-power GE locos from Erie, PA. Electric locomotives are homegrown plus ABB from Sweden and French Alstom.
    Now to a small suggestion. Your voice over is excellent. You have an authoritative voice and you are clearly very knowledgeable. However the background music is both too loud and distracting. Please poll your many viewers to see if they agree with me. Once again thank you for your incredible videos that I always look forward to watching.

      These are two trains combined but as their seperated single trains yes they load up somewhere in the Midwest and they unload in Kalama WA to be exported.

    I know it's cliche to say this about one of these super grainers, but that one really does look like a snake. I love the shot of you chasing the rear DPU. I don't own a drone yet, but if I should ever happen to get one, that is one of the shots I want to get most with it. Thanks Dan, another fantastic video treat. 🤠👍
