Railfanning the BNSF Needles Sub in the Rain - Jan 2015

On Sunday, Jan 11th 2015, I went out with a few friends to railfan the super busy Needles Subdivision in the rain. We were there roughly 6 hours and saw easily over 25 trains. I only filmed/included 18 of them in this video, most being BNSF freights. Got some foreign power too in some of the lashups! Also got a good amount of BNSF Dash 9 leaders, which always is a plus over the boring GEVOs!
We started out in Daggett, then went to a few crossings to the East, as far as Newberry Springs. Then went back to Daggett to finish up the day after lunch. First time for me out here on this stretch of track! I will definitely be returning!
