    Nice video from the East Portal. The last time we were there BNSF had posted the entire access to the area. Additional Tunnel facts: the blower fans are powered by a 16-cylinder locomotive prime mover; the paved forest service road that runs over the tunnel is maintained by BNSF year-around for MOW and crew van access.

    Gorgeous area-too bad Empire Builder passengers miss this both directions unless their train is very late.
    One minor correction-the Bakken crude oil is not destined for export but headed for Western refineries as there is not a crude oil pipeline west from the Bakken.
