Thanks for watching. The heat waves are from the switch heaters that are used to keep the moving part of the switch from icing up. They use Propane as fuel. 😊
@@GreatNorthernTech I figured it had to be something along those lines. Thanks for the detailed & prompt explanation!! Now I can impress a granddaughter with how clever I am should the subject ever arise. LOL
I definitely see why you can’t make a train set lay out without mountains and heavy green forests and snow .The only way to build your own layout and big .I love HO scale
At 1:07.20 if it was just one of them with flames in the stack I'd think there was something wrong with it! No wonder those genesis locomotives sound so good. Great catch and a great film thanks.
Your winter videos are epic, but I have a favor to ask. I plan on railfanning from Sandpoint to Essex and from Missoula to Bozeman come the fall. Do I need to rent an off road vehicle like a jeep to get to the important must see locations or would a truck with rear wheel drive do? Thanks in advance for your answer.
@@GreatNorthernTech Thank you so much for the information. One last question. Are there any websites that you can suggest visiting for information on the region?

How would the people in Montana survive if it wasn’t for the trains and the interstate highways and the people complain about the government? Who do you think constructs always rail, roads and highways, and rural electric

Beautiful scenery!
Wow! what an outstanding video!! Thanks for sharing...
Thank you.
This is crazy, great video.
It was 82º at my house today and I needed to put on a hoodie while I watched this video. Great work sticking it out.
Actually, 82° sounds good right now. Thanks for watching! 😊
1:07:20 Great flames in the stacks of those Amtrak locos. Only visible at night.
I thought they showed up well on the infra-red.
Excellent video.
Thank You. 😊
Great video here! keep up the great work, new subber form Illinois

Nice video. It appears snow removal on a RR is quite a time consuming event. Well documented.
Thanks!
Great video! Thanks for enduring the cold to film this. Would love to see a snowblower in action!
Thanks Alan! 😊
Great Video! Love the various scenery.
Thanks for watching Nick. 😊
Wonderful video, really nice shots. Thanks for sharing. Dave
Thank You Dave. It was my pleasure. 😊
6:18 crazy amtrak! Baggage car in the middle of train! Do you think the people riding go through the baggage car?
Thanks for the enjoyable video! I'm curious what is causing all the heat waves in this scene at 7:57. TY!

Montana is really scenic state from gentle rolling plains to the mighty Rocky Mountains! Seen it during the ride on the Empire Builder in May 2020!
It really is Dan. Thanks for watching! 😊
Cool thanks mate
If you anticipate wind, why not get a windsock, or whatever they're called?
Called a Dead Cat. Already using one. It would have a lot worse without one. 😊

They definitely can put on a flame show. Thanks for watching!

A truck with rear wheel drive should be fine unless your in ice or snow. Fall should be OK unless a early snow comes. Thanks for watching! 😊

How much time does it take to warm up these machines in such a hell cold?
Unless they need to be shut off for maintenance they usually run 24/7.
@@GreatNorthernTech So I wonder how the drivers keep themselves warm during night shifts.
Wow - thought I saw a car without graphite all over it - Silly me ....

There’s a lot of controversy around railroads these days especially now with congress stepping in.
