  • Caught a dead head on for the trip home this go around so I decided why not bring you all along for the ride on a freight train. All access train cab ride. Get to see inside the train cab and many sites that you can only see by rail. For all you train video lovers this one is for you! Check out the other video which is the raw uncut version of this same trip

    Thank you all for your feedback and support at my first attempt of filming and editing a cinematic style video. I really want to do a lot more of these for you all! I have added chapters in the description for the entire trip! Let me know if you see something you want added in the chapters!

    The spirit of this video reminds me somehow of an engineer I worked with periodically who when he came on duty, no matter the time of day or night or how much rest he had, always said " it's a great day for a train ride".

    I'm a former BNSF conductor. Now retired, thank the Lord! Railroading is fascinating to many, but BNSF is a miserable company to work for. I did enjoy my job however as much as the crap I had to deal with many many years. This was an outstanding filmed video. Loved it! Bet you love all the double track CTC you are blessed with too.

    • @buckhorncortez

      Most every company is miserable to work for today. I have a friend who's retiring from Sandia National Laboratory because he can't take the PC BS he has to endure to work there. He likes the work, but can't stand the atmosphere anymore. I worked for the largest engineering company in the United States. Was a great place when I started, was a PITA when I retired in 2014.

    Lived in Amarillo from late 1979 until 1984 and then would go back to visit in-laws up through 1994 or so. I knew the Santa Fe (at that time) tracks well from Amarillo to Clovis and also Amarillo out to Canadian. Spent many a railfan afternoon sitting under the S. Washington St bridge. Thanks for the ride!!

    Absolutely awesome. The music, the innovative video, the editing and the audio are all the work of an artist. And this is your "first attempt". Truly amazing. Perhaps the best indicator of how good an internet video is can be appreciated by reading the comments. Your commentors love this video. And the comments are well thought out and fun to read. If you have class commentors like this, you know you have a class video. This means that you will have a devoted following of viewers. Cannot thank you enough.

    Some of the most beautiful scenery you will see is from the window of a train. Sorry to say that a lot of the back water towns you went through are very depressed. But from the looks of them though, they used to thrive in their heyday. Nice large station stop platforms, silo loading, etc.. Thx 4 the ride...

    I used to live at Cannon AFB there outside of Clovis, (the 2 high speed lines) ran right beside the base. As a railfan I would chase those trains from Ft. Sumner to Texico and sometimes as far as Friona and Hereford.... Awesome! Thank you for sharing this one!

But your video has cheered me up so much! This is the coolest video, and I'm glad somebody finally took serious notice of the BNSF Transcon between Belen and Amarillo. So much train action and truly beautiful scenery. Thanks again.

Even if it’s flying through town at 65+ in some cases lol. Thanks for taking the time to film and edit this, very well done considering it was your first attempt

    Great job for a 1st time. Sure looked professional to me. That was fun. First time crossing that part of the country was in 1962 as a 12 year old when my dad got transferred to a job in Palo Alto, California from my hometown in Hamburg, New York. We went almost straight south to cross the country in better winter weather. First snow was in Flagstaff, AZ. Was a great experience. This just shows how BIG the country truly is. You did an excellent job in all aspects of producing this trip. Gracias por tu video. RT sends, Colonia Centro Histórico, Puebla, México.
