BNSF Military Train, Local 204 Job with Red & Silver Warbonnets and Double Stacks on the Transcon.

Train#1 is BNSF westbound military train loaded with various military vehicles and equipment. It is departing Amarillo at high speed on the Dalhart subdivision. We have cameras on both sides of this train as it goes by.
Train #2 is the local 204 Job shoving its entire train into a classification track at the BNSF North Yard in Amarillo where the power ties up at the yard office. The brakeman rides the last car as the train is placed into the classification yard. The power on this train is two C44-9W BNSF locomotives in the red & silver Santa Fe Warbonnet paint scheme. These locomotives were acquired in the BNSF/ATSF merger in 1995 but have never been repainted. They have "BNSF" stenciled on the side of the cabs and the locomotives are very faded and worn looking, but they run strong, and the exhaust looks very clean.
Train #3 is a westbound double stack coming into downtown Amarillo's South Yard for a crew change. As he comes into view another double stack on the next Transcon mainline is already rolling west after a its change.

Really nice video. This was equipment from the 4th Brigade Support Battalion & 68th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion. They had just supported the 1st Stryker Brigade Combat Team; 4th Infantry Division @ Fort Carson, CO's National Training Center Rotation 23-10 @ Fort Irwin, CA.

Thanks for the feedback! How did you find out the particulars of the equipment?

[@dcmkris]

A few different ways. First is the unit number is on the front right & rear left corner of the vehicle. For example on this train the M1070 Heavy Equipment Transporters (HD Semi-Trucks) are marked 4BSB 68CSSB. I know most of the units but Wikipedia has entries for every Division of the US Army which will list all the Brigades assigned to that Division & its subordinate units. The DOD runs a website called DVIDS, plus the US Army does press releases for most major deployments or training events (Not all but most) & most units have individual Facebook or "X" accounts which share info. I will also do RUclips searches on RR, Loco # to see if I can find other videos to try and locate a train on its journey. One other note while all vehicles are supposed to be marked you will see quite a few not marked for a variety of different reasons. If you catch another and have questions feel free to tag me or email me using my user name here at yahoo and I will do my best to ID it.@@BNSFAmarillo

I should also note that I can look at most trains and determine from the equipment on the train what type of unit it came from. That with location can sometimes help me narrow down fairly good where it came from or who it belongs to without the bumper numbers.@@BNSFAmarillo
