A Grain Train and Oil Train at Rock Creek Siding on BNSF's Kootenai River Subdivision

Just west of the south (west) portal of the Flathead Tunnel is Rock Creek siding where we see a westbound Grain train and an Oil train. The rear of the eastbound grainer is sitting in the hole at Rock Creek, waiting for their turn thru the Flathead tunnel.

When you see mountains and railroads you generally assume slow running, so it's cool when you see videos of them flying along in that scenery!

[@PacificNWRailfan]

Thanks Chad. When they put the Flathead tunnel in in the early 70's, they designed the line to so it would be a max 1% grade with curves that allowed high speed running. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@bertcresta6685]

Another excellent video! Looks like the track needs a bit of maintenance (re-ballasting in a small area). Great catch!!

[@PacificNWRailfan]

Thanks Bert. Yep, this is the time of year that soft spots start appearing. BNSF has the track gangs busy out repairing these sections of track. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@johnwinter8273]

A mushy spot in the track on the far left side of the screen with the oil train. It'll keep getting softer until a track gang takes care of business. God bless those track gangs that keep those trains moving!

[@PacificNWRailfan]

Yep, this is when they start appearing. Track gangs have been hard at work for the past couple of months now. Trains stop running around 10-11am and usually no traffic until 6pm or later. due to maintenance windows. Thanks for watching my friend.

What are those yellow trees in the background?

[@PacificNWRailfan]

They are Larch trees, a species of pine tree and its needles turn yellow and drop off in the fall, then it gets new needles in the spring. Thanks for watching my friend.
