Wow, words can't express how we feel when we watch this fantastic video. The mountains and trees are beautiful. The snow is really beautiful too. You do an amazing job. Thank you for taking the time to put together all of this and thank you for sharing. Keep up the fantastic work.
I’ve been on this route several times .I couldn’t ever get tired of the Empire builder or the Zephyrs through the Rockies and Sierra’s. I’ve never been on the routes on the east coast, sure they really are just as great to experience. Ihave been on the City of New Orleans a few times.
That's a lot of cold weather to brave to catch this awesome content, real sacrifice while railfanning ! Some of THE BEST recorded rail video I've ever seen. Great shots and angles, beautiful resolution, gorgeous scenery, excellence in videography and video craftsmanship top notch. I just subscribed ! Greetings from Southern California; - Larry
Thank you. yes, that second westbound grainer was basically two trains. It was too long to fit into most sidings so every thing else had to stop to let it pass. Also, thanks for your subscription. 😊
Great work, but I bet it was COLD COLD COLD looked like your equipment wasn't liking it that much........love the videos. Miss all those spots and the train action. Keep up tbe great woek.
About a 12 minute segment seems to jump due to issues during the upload process. I decided to leave it that way for now until the "newness" is over then ill re-upload it. Thanks for watching. 😊
You must be very passionate to go out in the Montana Rockies to film trains in the Winter. I appreciate the effort and hope you didn't run out of hot chocolate! Thanks for sharing.
Thought I would let you know, I stopped the video because the video keeps jumping. I loaded it up the next night and it did the jumping again. Not sure who's end has the problem. Still a great video, thanks for sharing.
Thanks Valerie. Yes, I did notice that as well. I believe it to be a RUclips issue on the upload. I have debated whether to upload it again. I probably will at some point. You can skip through the part that jumps. It's approximately 12 minutes long or so. The rest of the video seems fine. Thank for watching. Let me know if there are other issues with it as well. 😊
Coldest night was °4, warmest day was about °32. We had a nice warm cabin to stay in nearby. Don't blame you not wanting to fly the drone. Thanks for watching. 😊
Great stuff! I'm planning on visiting Glacier National Park in June, and I'd like to know how to get information on the train symbols, ATCS, etc. Thanks!
Thanks for watching! One way that I gathered quite a bit of info about the Marias Pass area and the Hi-Line in general is Google. Great info is available online from railfan organizations, video producers and even the railroad themselves. There are some older BNSF employee timetables available on line in PDF form that will will give you mileposts and listings of sidings, length as well as the scanner frequencies for each area that you are visiting. As for the ATCS I would Google that to find ATCS groups out there. You may have to join a group to get the software to read the ATCS on your computer. Hope this helps. 😊
@@GreatNorthernTech Thanks for sharing your videos! the more i watch the more i get inspired to get out to the NW for some railfanning. I live in Sioux Falls SD and the train action around here is very boring. Used to drive truck for a living. In a big rig ive been to the NW many times including driving along the Columbia river gorge. Hard to explore when youre in a tractor trailer.
@@GreatNorthernTech Not really. The MSTS depiction is lacking in detail in a number of areas (a number of the trestles are missing or erroneously depicted as ordinary bridges) and has unrealistic 5% grades (as opposed to the 2% grades in real life). I actually have an easier time doing activities on modified versions of the route that have improved scenery and the tracks regraded to make it easier to take heavy trains up the hill from Java to Summit, though at the compromise of the signals being all Searchlight signals instead of Darth Vader signals.
Kevin, you and your wife take and produce great videos! I am going to get back into filming when I move up to Idaho next month; I’m curious about how far from the tracks do you usually set up your camera? Again, great stuff and please keep it coming!! Take care and stay safe.
Thank You Gary. That's also a great question. We try to maintain at least 20 feet from the end of the ties. I always found that's a great rule of thumb. Again thanks for watching! 😊😊

i love this because the cameraman takes in everything there is to be seen, very brilliant

What's not to like about trains in the snow in Montana. Good job.
Thank you. 😊
beautiful photography

Awesome video, great footage!!!!
Thank you Ron. 😊
This is my go-to video for napping!! Love the sound of these trains! Don't worry, I watched it completely awake, too!
Thank You! 😄
Another Fantastic video Kevin!!!!
Thank you! 😊
Just happened to get on your site and so glad I did. I loved it. Thanks for sharing with us.
Thank you Donna. Glad you found us. 😊
Love your videos of the northwest and the BNSF coverage great work keep them coming
Thank you William! Yes, I will keep them coming. 😊
Top notch video Kevin. Really captures the Hi-line, Rockies, snow and of course the BNSF. Thank you.
Thanks, and your welcome Gordon. 😊
Nice work, Kevin. Trains and snow is always a great combination.
Thank you. I'm glad Darci and I both enjoy the snow and cold. 😊

Montana is a wonderful state and trains are wonderful things.
Yes on both and thanks for watching! 😊
just total magic
Very nice compilation! I'm appalled by the monster sized grain trains up there. Thanks for sharing and I subbed also.
Thank you. yes, that second westbound grainer was basically two trains. It was too long to fit into most sidings so every thing else had to stop to let it pass. Also, thanks for your subscription. 😊

Thank You and you will. 😊
Wunderschönes Winter Impressionen 🚂🚂🚂🚂🎥🥇
Thank You!
Great video!! Seems to jump a lot. I spent a couple days in Essex MT in the summer of 2019, very beautiful area.
About a 12 minute segment seems to jump due to issues during the upload process. I decided to leave it that way for now until the "newness" is over then ill re-upload it. Thanks for watching. 😊

Whoa, the Maria’s sub is extremely busy
Great video! Just subbed, excited to see more!
Thank you and thanks for watching! 😊
Love your content. In train simulator the Montana Hi-Line goes from havre to whitefish
Thanks!

i was up in that area last weekend on the 30th! and nice vid
oh and at 1:20:23 when was that?
That was January 28.
Thanks 😊
@@GreatNorthernTech NP
this follows the Columbia River, I think.Had a train simulator with this very route
Great video Kevin. Looks cold there. Don't want to fly the drone here in Wisconsin for train videos it's to cold.
Coldest night was °4, warmest day was about °32. We had a nice warm cabin to stay in nearby. Don't blame you not wanting to fly the drone. Thanks for watching. 😊
pure power
Good Stuff KD
Thank you David. Thanks for watching. 😊
BNSF 5540 is the G:OKC-PTL train.
utter concerntration and skill required to do that job

@@GreatNorthernTech Great! Thank you so much!
I wanna get up to the northern trans con. Perhaps when weather is warm. I'll leave the winter shoots to you haha
No problem. I'll do it. My wife and I both enjoy the cold and snow. Thanks for watching. 😊

@@jimesser477 😄 True. Big rig not the best to explore with.
These horns are the very best. We don't even know that here in europe.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching. 😊
is it Marias Pass on this line, plus Whitefish, Glacier Park, and Shelby,,??
I think a lot about driving trains through here in Microsoft Train Simulator.
TS does a very good representation of the area. Thanks for watching Karen. 😊

this section was one of the harder parts on the simulator
*flashbacks to when i derailed at 169 car intermodal at a curve going 97mph in train simulator*
🤣 Thanks for Watching! 😊
Flashbacks to driving a supercharged Dash 9 from Shelby to Whitefish in only 4 minutes.
@@TheLewistownTrainspotter8102 the dash 9 must have been like: *i a m s p e e d*
Did you hear the news about an Amtrak train that derailed on a BNSF line near Joplin? It sounds tragic, hopefully everyone is doing okay
Yeah I heard. I have been on that line 3 times over the years. I'm sure they will find the cause. 😕

Amazing video quality! What are you using for a camera? Looks fantastic!
I'm using a Canon XA11. Thanks for watching. 😊
To think that monster grain train was a double barrel movement.
Yep, and I didn't record the whole thing. 😊
grain train, goes to Cutbank ??
What month was your visit in?
January. 😊
👍
Thanks for watching!😊
How many train per day pass this subdivision?
25 or so. 😊
@@GreatNorthernTech oke thank you so much 😊🙏
