  • These video clips were taken during the coldest and snowiest February in decades in the Pacific Northwest. We had planned a nice snowy getaway to the Izaak Walton Inn to get a nice winter get a way since winter this year (2019) had not been much in the Wenatchee, Washington area. November, December and January had ben very warm due to the El Nino effect. Boy, were we in for a big surprise!
    Heavy snow, high winds and bone chilling temps. It adds up to some great train viewing but also some challenges in videoing.
    Snow berms make pulling over while driving difficult, snow grooming meant hours with no trains and then hours with almost to many to count. Not enough time to set up the tripod was the most difficult situation. Many times a handheld shot was all that could be had. My apologies for some of the shaky videos. All in all though, my wife and I had a great time getting the footage for this video with only a bit of frostbite to damper things (cold winds at Cut Bank was the culprit but only on our camera hands). So, we hope you enjoy.

    Great inspiration for a great HO layout, a really great layout includes steam engines as well as modern equipment as well. Time passages and great painted skylines for background mountains snow and big pines more snow a few buildings,depot’s ,lodges snow plows signal posts great electrical work and dimmer switch to darkening the room for night scenes. And and the Cascades range and the tunnel for extra effects . That’s the Empire Builder! You will need a big house and the whole upstairs alone .

      For the most part the weather doesn't effect trains. snow is not that much of a problem. The biggest problem comes with heavy rain that brings mudslides. That happens often around the Seattle area. Thanks for watching Uwe. 😊

    Great video of BNSF freights & Amtrak’s Empire Builder which is one of Amtrak’s trains I want to ride on. My favorite pre merger railroads before the 1970 Burlington Northern merger were the Great Northern because of its logo of the mountain goat on top of a mountain peak, the Santa Fe, Rio Grande, Erie Lackawanna, Lehigh Valley where 7 members of my family worked for it from 1868 to 1976 & the Delaware & Hudson. Burlington Northern & Santa Fe were my most favorite railroad which BNSF is my most favorite railroad.

      @GreatNorthernTech  4 роки тому +1

      In the US we are dealing with steep grades and in the case of when the video was taken very cold below zero F° temperatures. Mountain routes always require more locomotives. Most freight trains are well over a mile long and are pulling 2% grades, in this case Marias Pass. Trains here in the US are much longer and heavier than in Europe.
