@pwalpar Thanks for commenting Walter. That train will go from Wyoming to Northwestern Washington with those four locos. It's a regular run of three trains per day on a round trip. Nice to see all EMD's though. These trains are almost exclusively AC traction.
As always nice job, i checked out the other coal train same spot but wasn`t logged in to comment...keep`em coming please. But i have a question these coal trains when they are routed via the scenic sub do they take on any helpers or its that same power all the way. And how many cars do they normally have?
@EMD710G If it would quit snowing I'd get up to Skykomish and have a look. I've got another spot farther up near Bellingham that I'd like to try, but I plan to get up to Stevens Pass soon. I'm not sure a lot of these go over the Scenic sub though. Mostly grain and stack. Stay Tuned !!
Nice catch dude! It's nice to see all EMD power on the BNSF.

@FireCaptE9 Thanks. I agree, the EMD's just seem more "emotional" at full throttle. IMHO GEVO'S sound lazy.
