Boeing Train And SD9

A set of KCS engines dragging an old SD9 and a bunch of 737 bodies to Boeing's factories in the Seattle area.

Video shot in Rathdrum, ID, at the end of a long day of railfanning.

Why are people so Facinated with trains in little towns like that?... if its some kind of subconcious thought of headed to a better place.. Get in your car and follow it till it stops... see if u like were u end up... nuff said .

Actually, I grew up near San Francisco, went to college in Santa Barbara, and am reasonably well traveled including several weeks in Europe and six in Singapore. Spokane also has about 400,000 people in it, so it isn't too shabby on size either. I just don't think your theory is holding here. :)

The rest of the train was a very ordinary consist, so I decided not to drag out the video after all the really interesting stuff happened. :)

I'm not sure of the exact number, but I get the impression that it is something around one or two per week. They are not a common sight, but I do see them come through on occasion.

I dont think the first 2 locos are dragging the SD-9, it's pushing them along.

INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!

I never realized how much smaller an SD9 is compared to today's modern power. It's so small!

@patmix The factory pushes out 31.5 plane per month, so it's not as much as you'd think.
