BNSF Coal Train (C-BSMCOB) heads to the east seen here east of Bemidji, MN. The lead unit is BNSF 9277 (SD60M) repainted in the H1 paint scheme. The second unit is the BNSF 9297(SD60M). This unit has a very unique "dual" paint scheme. The third unit in the consist is BNSF 8215 (SD75M) in the Warbonnet paint scheme. This video features scanner audio of the defect detector which is located at MP 93.0 on the BNSF's Grand Forks Sub Division.

  • Was that a joke?

  • Nice video!

    For those that think this is MSTS. This is a real life video. It is too clear and realistic to be MSTS or any other rail simulator.

    There were 3 locomotives and 114 cars (wagons).

    Typical number of cars on coal trains number around 120~130. So this train was just about typical sized.

    The "silver" cars are made of aluminum (aluminium) to keep car tare weight down and thus allow increase in coal load carried to make up to maximum gross car load of 286,000 lbs.

  • I have that engine in HO scale, its the only one that I have seen, it is awesome! There have been modifications to it from BNSF, they originally painted the walkways ATSF red, but everyone hated it and they repainted the walkways, Dark Green, they also renumbered it to 8197, they re-numbered all of the SD60M's to start with 8.

  • That's a TERRIBLE horn!!!

  • also there was the Buick that came to a stop....

  • I could be wrong but I notice that BNSF always has SD60M locomotives on coal trains. Is there a reason for that?

  • I am not very good with identifying diesel locomotives. What type of locomotives are these?

  • damn fine power

  • The dotted LEDs in those rear lights are working, but barely visible.

    It's due to the angle they are at in relation to the camera.

    Incandescent & ball-type LEDs don't have that problem.

  • I've seen enough coal trains up here, and not too many coal cars have that logo anymore, they seem to have the swoosh logo or perhaps old BN ones

  • My grandfather is a BNSF train driver and he drives that very kind of train way cool. I always think of him when I see stuff like that.

  • dude the good ole route 10- crossings! i love them soooo much! dude im going to be railfanning that one like crazy!
