How Long have You Been With BNSF, And Where Are You Based Out Of?

Also, I Plan On Working For BNSF As Well, And Was Wondering What You Think Of The National Academy Of Railroad Sciences?

been with the bnsf almost 10 years. currently working out of clovis. as for choo choo u. honestly your going to get picked on, ALOT! it is a ongoing joke about it, but it seems to be the way to get the job. also remember, just because you graduate from there doesn't automatically give you the job. you still have to apply. it just helps your chances of getting on.

Unreal changes! I photographed, and videoed every inch of the canyon in the mid 80's, mid 90's, and early 2000, and see that most places I filmed from are now gone. I'm sure it looks a lot different today. Thanks for sharing...

When meeting a train aren't you supposed to dim the headlight except when approaching a public crossing? In Canada, we are to dim the headlight when 2 trains meet except when approaching a publice crossing.

I was just out there Sunday 12/19! I could never find the correct radio frequency for this line--all I could hear was the NMRX and Gallup Sub dispatchers--can you help? Also, are the bridge spans sitting in the Vaughn Yard destined for the second main in Abo Canyon?

What days do they normally do the blasting?
