[68][4k] BNSF Trains Riding on a Volcano, Lakeside Sub, WA 06/21/2018 ©mbmars01

- Tectonic motion has shifted the North American Plate from east to west over a hotspot located under the Columbia Plateau and ranging from the Pacific boundary to Yellowstone Park. It caused the formation of the oldest but still active volcanos located on the western boundary in the Cascade Range, and currently creates all those fascinating geothermal features in Yellowstone National Park. The Columbia Basin resides in between and BNSF's Lakeside Subdivision (and UP's Ayer Sub) crosses it in north-south direction. So, BNSF trains literally ride on cold volcanic lava with a hot plume underneath it. Enjoy the selection of BNSF trains shown in this video, caught on the trip from Spokane, WA to Pasco, WA on 6/21/2018!

Cool video! So proud to be part of the BNSF team.
🚂 🚞🚞🚞🚞🚞🚞🚞
Thank you! BNSF is great!
Nice catch of the BNSF-CP-CREX lashup! Thanks!
You're welcome!
Nice catches of the trains.
18:38 listen to those dynamic brakes. Good catch!
Thanks!
Awesome video. Lots of EMD power. 👍👍👍 Very Cool 😎😎😎
Thank you very much. I noticed that BNSF uses EMD power typically on their low-priority trains like coal and manifests. The high-priority trains like intermodal (and I guess even export grain on those lines in the west) have almost exclusively GE power.
Ok. Appreciate the updates. So yeah, another great video with great motor and freight car action. 🚂
Great, thank you. I don't know why the first version didn't process properly, but I saw that other people had the same problem on Sunday.
Great video. Cool shots.
Thanks!
Excellent video.
Thanks!
Great video. I have never seen so many SD`s used by BNSF, they are usuually all GE
EMD units are typically on lower priority BNSF trains it looks like.
mbmars01 You could be right. However UP has a pretty even split in power and they use a lot of the sme track.
shnimmuc you should check out EVERETT WA I work for HALLCON and there is every EMD model that EMD made last 50 plus year's there I'm not kidding from gp30 rebuilds to sd70ace just last Friday all of my favorite motors were in one spot sd60m triclops/2 GP60M and a gp60b 1 sd40-2 2 gp30 rebuilds and sd75 and a sd70mac all seeing brand new paint I was in heaven.
Eastern Washington and Oregon, and most of Idaho between Oregon and Wyoming is one huge basaltic flow as a result of the caldera that currently resides beneath Yellowstone. As much as I'd like to see that thing explode in my lifetime, I hope it does not, because it would pretty much spell the end of the world for most of the Northern Hemisphere. And I don't currently have the funds to resettle in Argentina. Another nice selection of trains. Good stuff!
It's more likely that Mt. St. Helens or Mt. Rainier could erupt at some time soon as they are charging up, but Yellowstone might indeed also be at danger. Unfortunately, Mt. St. Helens was covered in clouds when I was there. When I prepared for my trip I learned that scientists had warned that an eruption of Mt. St. Helens was imminent a year before it actually happened in May 1980. Nobody had believed them and nothing was done to prepare for the disaster...
The Yellowstone caldera is around 100,000 years overdue when they average out the rate of its activity. The eruption of St Helens was astonishing. My sister was living in Coeur d'Alene, ID at the time. She said the rain of ash was otherworldly.
The eruption and the huge ash cloud really must have been amazing sights.
I was still a teen then but the aftermath was on TV news every day for weeks. It was quite the natural disaster.
I wasn't even a teen, but I remember the TV news as well!
great video i,ve been to yellowstone before its cool
Yellowstone is amazing.
Great video brother.
Many thanks.
Holy crap great catches and video.
Cool, thanks!
nice video and catches!!!!!
Thank you! Good you like it :)
A great catch and great vid.
Thank you!
Wow what's KCSM doing in Washington? In other words, mbmars01, what's the language for Kansas City Southern de Mexico now?
great video bro
Many thanks!
Awesome video. How was WSH, rainy?
Thank you. Overall, the weather was mediocre during the entire trip in the northwest, but that was what I expected. Other than that, it was a great excursion.
I just saw a ksc Ace with a sd70i (i think) prlx csx paint scheme!! Its been years since i last saw a kcs unit on the ns huntington district
Awesome, KCS ACes are among my favorites.
Awesome catches!
Great you like them.
Great video 👍
Thanks!
You're very welcome:)
Amazing bro Very Longest Train 👍👍👍
Thanks! Good you like it.
Quick suggestion... For more information than you could possibly need or want, the Central Washington University has a series of Geology lectures that talk all about that, and in a few actually touch on the Yellowstone Hotspot.. ua-cam.com/video/VQhjkemEyUo/v-deo.html he describes the rotation of the landmass up there which explains some of the odd ways that the hotspot appears to have moved... So they are not really riding on a volcano, but on lots of lava that flowed in lots of cracks almost all the way to the Pacific..
This sounds about right. For me from Georgia, all of Washington state rides on volcanos :)
@@mbmars01 Yep... There are a few in that state.. and some historic long dead ones... the weirdest one was a huge chunk of cracks in the ground that OOZED for centuries.. and had had high flood rates from time to time. (The prof that does the presentations is a real "rock star" --he also touches on the gold mines in that area...
Washington is an interesting state for various reasons, including its exciting geology. Unfortunately, the weather was bad when I tried to visit Mt St. Helens.
Great video. Was there actually a volcano there.
Thanks!. Well, the volcanos are nearby in the Cascade Range (one of them, Mt. St. Helens erupted in 1980). The Columbia Plateau is filled with (very old) lava from volcanic activity long time ago.
The Columbia Plateau was formed in flood basalt eruptions 15 to 17 million years ago. The beginning of the flood basalts coincidentally took place close to where the Yellowstone Hotspot was 17 million years ago. Though there's still the questions and a possibility that the Yellowstone Hotspot may not have created the flood basalts.
Nice video!
Thank you!
Awsome video(:
Thanks 👍
Great video, sunday i say a ns Ace with a up sd70m triclops covered on graffiti
Thanks. Nice, cool catches :)
Is there an engineer in the pusher locomotives or are they remote operated ?
Remote
Question: Can the pusher unit be throttled independent of the front units?
Eric Chapman the whole train is connected via remote commands and all cars become 1 giant engine in that config.
is this a re-upload??
I am sure i watched this yesterday
So did I
This is a re-upload, he must of had an issue because it only uploaded with a max resolution of 360P. So he re-uploaded it today in 4K.
Correct, youtube had an issue yesterday. New uploads were not processed beyond 360p, which was annoying, because the video is 4k. So I tried it again today.
cheers - good to know I didnt fall down the rabbit hole :-)
Lol :)
Wait that SD70ace DPU gave a horn show??
Haha, I first thought the same thing, but it was the lead unit of the intermodal train leaving the siding and blowing at the crossing.
That’s funny, perfected rinsing tho.
Also, u mentioned “we” who else u railfan with
That's just for the video - "we," the people who watch the video. "I" always sounds egocentric, but I actually did railfan by myself.
Bnsf 6246 is an ES44AC not and ES44C4
You are right, it's a typo.
Also first
Well, thank UA-cam lol. The video had to be uploaded again after the first version was processed by UA-cam in 360p resolution only. It had already been online for one day...
mbmars01 oh ok thanks for the info
Great video.
Thank you.
