Four BNSF dash 9s Earning Their Keep

With 2 units on the head end and 2 units on the rear end (DPU = distributed power units) of a BNSF earthworm (grain train), 4 dash 9s work hard to get their train across the Latah Creek bridge and up the grade toward Marshall on the west end of the BNSF funnel. 10-16-2011

@downhillracer737 You're welcome and it's my pleasure to share with you and everyone else.

Your great camera placement is the key to your outstanding panaramic view!!! Thanks for posting your videos as we easterners have no way of ever seeing western railroads in action first hand.

@downhillracer737 Not my best camera work but thanks anyway. This is Spokane, Washington on the BNSF "northern transcon" which was the Burlington Northern mainline.

Where is this location? Nice videography showing the length of the train as it passes and goes off in the distance!!!
