We were overtaken by a BN grain train headed in the same direction on the double track in southwest Washington somewhere between Kelso and Centralia. As the freight passes us the crew noticed me filming them and both the conductor and engineer on the SD 40-2 gave us a wave. May 8th, 1996.

  • Awesome Video, Cool To See The Locomotive And Train Crew That Close, Especially The Spectacular View Of The Interior Of The Ex. BN Locomotive

    I Am Not To Good With Naming The Type(s) Of Locomotives And Was Wondering, Is This A GP38-2 Or An SD40-2?

  • @NARSConductor SD40-2 it later went to HLCX

  • hello how are you MasCoRailbuff

    hey alla question in the U.S. as it is called the crews

    Look here in Mexico city which is the driver handles

    which is beyond aca engineer and conductor called is another

    crew that is called is the moneylender who is responsible for more

    to cut the train movements etc.

    I hope and I answer good video

  • olla, had

  • Nice video, isn't one of the trains supposed to stop?

  • This is double tracked mainline, therefore trains may run in the same or opposite direction, following dispatcher's control, of course

  • I miss a big green BN grain train, with 5 SD40's and 140 bright green BN hoppers and a Little green caboose. Roaring through the midwest stopping at all the local farms and elevators. Thats when railroading was railroading, not this orange and black shit with one ugly GE at the front and graffiti over everything.

  • This would be the conductor 8154 is now a HLCX unit

see all
