    Please don't take this as me being picky. I have some facts to share and have only watched the first 10 mins. RM Nixon was president in 1970, not Lyndon Johnson as shown in video, Pacific Zip was a domestic intermodal mail train (Zip for Zip Code), it did not handle maritime containers and domestic trailers do not move on ships, CNW did not "cash in" on PRB coal - Western Railroad Properties Inc (WRPI) funded by Union Pacific provided the cash for CNW's portion of the Joint Line in the Basin, later owned by UP outright when it acquired CNW, MILW was never a viable competitor to BN in the PNW as they were the last to build to the Pacific and were left with the worst route and that had essentially no on line traffic, when MILW abandoned the Pacific Extension west of Miles City MT it did not leave "BN as the only carrier" as Union Pacific did and currently operates in OR, WA, ID and MT. I worked for BN in PRB operations, marketing and network strategy groups 1978 - 1984 and was there when some parts of this video occurred. Nice graphics and otherwise well done. Many thanks!

      @@HighIron I've been working for railroads since my shoreline days back in 1976. My years at BN were amongst the best. Great organization, excellent franchise, nice place to work and fantastic people. I miss them and the company. BN moved to Fort Worth in 1984 and I was offered a job in marketing at Conrail and I joined big blue for 14 years in marketing until the sale to CSX/NS. Take care and be well. (funny story for you: the BN HQ at 176 E Fifth St was a building built at two C shaped buildings built around 1910 and joined by a common wall. NP HQ was on one side, GN HQ was on the other. At BN merger, the dividing wall was removed and the building become one. You could tell which side of the building you were on by the rest rooms. NP side had men's and ladies rooms, the GN side only had mens rooms)

      MILW couldve been very competitive to BN, especially in the modern era. If they had demanded more concessions from the BN merger the Pacific Extension could've done much better. If the pacific extension had made it into the late 80s and 90s when intermodal trains started to pick up, it would've been one of the fastest intermodal routes in the country.

    Bad news about the Montana Rail Link (MRL): BNSF Railway has reclaimed the former MRL lines in Washington, Idaho, and Montana. BNSF will call the MRL's trackage the BNSF MRL Subdivision. In addition, BNSF has acquired the MRL brand-name, so MRL will become a fallen flag railroad, soon to become the latest railroad to merge into the BNSF Railway. All MRL equipment will move to the Southern Railway of British Columbia (SRY) in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

    Everyone always forgets KCS when talking about Class 1 railroads! Being from Pittsburg, KS it’s my job to remind people 😀! Most of the traffic down KCS these days comes from BNSF and UP allot of powder river coal. We have a power plant about 10 miles out side of town that had a Frisco track running to it but back in the 90s they built a spur off of KCS when BNSF gave up the Parsons sub. Most of the Parsons sub became SEKR then WATCOs first short line. Today the Frisco parsons sub combined with part of the MOPAC is the SKOL

    Great video on the Burlington Northern which is now BNSF. The Burlington Northern was always a favorite railroad of mine, so was the Santa Fe. Before the 1970 merger that became the Burlington Northern, the Great Northern was my most favorite railroad because of its emblem of the Mountain goat on top of a mountain peak. The Great Northern didn’t get any land grants at all. James J. Hill was very smart in having not only the Burlington, but the Great Northern, Northern Pacific, Spokane,Portland & Seattle,Colorado & Southern and the Fort Worth & Denver railroads under his ownership and paved the way for the 1970 merger into he Burlington Northern.

    I remember driving west of Butte MT in 1979 and they were tearing up the Milwaukee Road tracks and it had many light poles along the tracks. I though some local told me the train would "charge" the power going down hill and then use the power to pull the hill. You can still see the route going over Homestake Pass from Interstate 90 in spots.

    This was a fascinating documentary. Not many folks cover American railroading history in the post-WWII era in great detail. Special thumbs up to the masterful filming done in Trainz; I often go back and forth on which sim is best for this sort of filmmaking, Trainz or Railworks/Train Simulator. I think in the end it comes down to 1. which has more relevant assets, particularly rolling stock, available, and 2. which the filmmaker can work with better.
    I would love to see more of these sorts of documentaries in future, covering in detail aspects and periods of railroading in the US and abroad that have gone largely overlooked. If I may put forward a request to add to the no doubt lengthy to-do list: The Rise and Fall of the Electric Interurbans.

    Also, you might think about correcting your AT&SF/BNSF route through New Mexico. After the race to Trinidad CO, Santa Fe ran a mainline to Waynoka, OK, then on to the town of Panhandle, TX, then Amarillo and Clovis. By 1910 SF had connected Clovis to Belen, NM and junctioned with the Raton route to provide a way around the steep pass. BNSF has completely stopped using it by now. The more southern route has been their preference for Chicago, KCK, to CA since intermodal traffic has been a thing. Use Google maps follow the trackage and you can tell not even Amtrak has gone to Raton from Santa Fe, NM. Wagonmound's sidings are grown over and the track leading into and out of the Raton Pass tunnel is grown over too. Interesting side note, drop pin at Vaughn, NM and follow the BNSF mainline SE out of town and you'll come across an old siding with a livestock chute and corral that used to be served by SF decades ago. It's a fun waste of time to use satellite view to explore sidings and industries that are current or historical.

    Correct me if I am wrong, however I had read in Trains Magazines a number of articles on the Milwaukee Road. The main point I had read was that the "Bean Counters" made a major mistake in reporting twice the monies spent on the western portion of the railroad. I also believe they did not report the true amount of revenue dollars. Mis-management on the part of management.
    It amazes me to this day that the lines traveled from Washington State to Seymour Indiana, quite an accomplishment!

    I never really thought about BN, I‘m not a fan of western roads, but now I like the odd green one. Great work 😇👍

    I live within 200 yards of a BNSF line, that mostly sees coal from the west. Quite active seeing maybe a couple dozen trains a day some days.

    I don't understand the map where it shows a kansas city to st.louis route.It looks like it goes through Jefferson city.

    Crazy how BNSF is now terminating the MRL's agreement.

    Also how come you didn’t use the Marias pass 1950s on the DLS , or do you not have it

    When I first heard of Burlington Northern I thought it was just the Chicago Burlington and Quincy and Great Northern railroads I didn't know other railroads were merged too.

    I guess the locomotive that defines the BN really is an SD40-2, which, conveniently, is also my favorite diesel engine.

    13:51 That is a 737 fuselage not a 747 fuselage. I may be wrong but I'm pretty sure Boeing never transported 747 fuselages by rail.

    What were the last 2 music soundtracks? Talking about the 1 during the talk about BN and ATSF merging, and the one during the credits with the BN locomotive lineup.

    The original 1960 Clean Air Act only mandated studying the problems of air pollution. It was passed because the air in the large cities of New York, Chicago and Los Angeles had become unhealthy to breath.
    The 1970 amendment to the act did not address CO2 (carbon dioxide) emissions but carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, particulate matter, hydrocarbons and photochemical oxidants.
    It took was the next amendment that addressed automotive tailpipe emissions, and would be a couple of decades before co2 was addressed. The initial effect actually helped BN as the sulphur requirements made Powder River's low sulphur coal in demand.
