4:35 BNSF: How many times do we have to save your butt? Amtrak: Well, depending on what track you take, there's somehow always something on the tracks that either makes me go flying off, or causes me to break down. BNSF: Well, at least neither Norfolk Southern nor CSX or Metrolink or Union Pacific or CN have to do this. HLCX: Am I a joke to you!?
Sweet collection of videos are you able to get video of the switching action in local freight yards. Sometimes you just cannot beat watching a train being built. Thanks for sharing. John
Wow look all those GEVOs! Burlington Northern & ....Santa Fe to the rescue. BNSF saves the day! Atchinson, Topeka, and Santa Fe pulls the Southwest Chief once again! Excellent catch!
Hakeem Mulholland BNSF is the successor of Santa Fe and Burlington Northern railroad , so they worked together and made this company, just like the good ole' days of CSX and NS forming Conrail.
I'm just curious as to how much more power the BSNF engine has vs. an Amtrak engine that it's presumable that one BNSF could pull 9 amtrak cars but it takes at least two Amtrak engines to pull the same amount of cars?
Amtrak's engines are designed for speed, to achieve a higher speed you'll have a smaller gear ratio, smaller gear ratios have better speed and fuel economy but lack the necessary torque/tractive effort to pull oversized loads, BNSF (as well as other freight carriers) locomotives are designed to have higher torque to achieve better starting tractive effort but this sacrifices on speed.
Mr. AWESOME!!! Usually on a 2 track main, there is a north track on the right and south on the left, and same with east/west, east on the right, west on the left, it all depends on which way the train is heading. Or it's the other way around?
I'm confused (not unusual). If you've got two Southwest Chiefs within one hour, one must be either 23 hours behind, or 23 hours ahead, or one is 12 hours early, right? So thirteen hours behind schedule should be two Southwest Chiefs within eleven hours. And yes, I can see BNSF delaying an Amtrak train 23 hours.
I can join all my friends today ready to play what does somewhere here because the super special day of Joy my friends and looking for together I need some help always on let's go go go you are my
I hope that Amtrak pays BNSF railway for there service or them helping them out.
Truly great railroad photography, particularly the sound! Some of the best I’ve seen.

BNSF: Well, at least neither Norfolk Southern nor CSX or Metrolink or Union Pacific or CN have to do this. HLCX: Am I a joke to you!?
CSX: Na, I had to save their butt multiple times!
HLCX: Why am I constantly ignored?
Norfolk Southern: Shut up, please! I've done it before!
Union Pacific: Me too! Like, really!
CN: Hmmmmmmm......

Say, what’s with the Metrolink at the beginning? Did it break down or something?
I'm guessing it was waiting for the Amtrak to pass so it could go onto that track

e952ct They do the same with the Auto Train, 2 engines pulling 16 Superliners and over 20 auto rack cars, it doesn't really make sense.
e952ct the bnsf one has 4400hp i believe and the amtrak 4250hp
But amtrak is actually faster than BNSF Tho.

What happened to the Amtrak train that a BNSF GEVO had to be a part of the train
WOW! This one belongs in the Hall of Fame.
Awesome shots bro! keep up the good work

where passed trains BNSF whatAmtrak
Yeah, most of these trains including the Southwest Chief have a lot of engine problems, especially when climbing up mountains.
If the freight trains need more than two engines to go up the mountains, wouldn't it make sense to use three or more on passenger trains?
Just the one of the BNSF trained

Why the Southwest Chief is late and with a BNSF GEVO locomotive?
Good question?????
manuels89 the lead p42dc was probably broken down so some engineers probably helped with a gevo to keep the train moving
Wow! Perfect shots with perfect sun!
4:55 GUY INSIDE THE BAGGAGE CAR!
Sounds like the first Unit broke down. And had to find a replacement.
Wow! That is something special!
What street is the first crossing in the start of the video called
Is there a rule that trains have to be on a specific track, because I noticed, that the first train in the video was going on the left side.

i don't get it... the Gevo looks the same as the others. please tell why it's so rare
LittohhcesarxD The Gevo itself is not rare at all. A Gevo pulling Amtrak cars is what's rare here.
+spencerhughes2255 this happens all the time with Amtrak, this is far from rare

Spencer u rock and uh the BNSF train is carrying no coach or anything just trains
Godzilla2000orbit it is a "power move" changing the locomotives from yard
why is it that the big trains always well here and there have to pull Amtrak

The first SWC departed Fullerton on time around 7pm, Second SWC was originally suppose to get into Fullerton around 6:50am, arrived at about 7:47pm.
Aha, I didn't catch that one SWC was eastbound, and the other westbound. Solves my confusion. Doh!
Why was BNSF connected to Amtrak
BNSF leading #3 isn’t really rare too much, I’ve seen it twice in a year, once with a Heritage unit

It's crazy knowing P42DC 156 was in New York City a few years ago
i saw that train pass through kansas city, missouri. i was excited to see the bnsf unit leading the passenger amtrak.
Kkkoooo
Awesome catch!!!
6:34 I was on a surfliner just like that with 156 leading but with a cascades F40 cabbage
Nice work Spencer!
Awesome video!!!!
Thanks for sharing..."Golden Hour" lighting looked great!
In that power move those brand new units looked amazing

Definition of Amtrak: a train company that can barely run without a BNSF loco hauling it.
A thirteen hour late Amtrak train?
It's the ghost of Santa Fe haunting Amtrak for running them out of passenger service....
He thinks he's a Warbonnet...
He is no bonnet.. He is a fakebonnet.. (Pun)
@@therookie9276fakebonnet s don’t exist we call those bnsf warbonnets
@@Fullerton_Railfan7706 it was a joke and i was like 12-13 when i commented this
@@therookie9276 I know I get it, I just meant that the actual warbonnet paint locomotives with bnsf on the side are bnsf warbonnets
