right, passenger service....but this railroad has always been steam powered...it takes away the elegance....as much as I love the F40....it can''t compete with a vintage steam locomotive
You can say that again, thats all the Grand Canyon is, a big whole! Man I went on a western trip with my family when I was 13, we stopped in Flagstaff,AZ for the night and stayed at the Travel Inn with the BNSF main in the distance. Talk about cool as hell! If I knew what I knew now we would have never left to see the GRAND PIT! Just film more BNSF action! I have the tape somewhere!
Xanterra banned steam operation because it was polluting the enivronment.
