Winter Trains III BNSF: Montana Hi Line 2022

Wow, Winter Trains III already and another trip tho the BNSF Hi-Line sub in the books. Not much to say about this video except that it contains some new locations from the previous two videos plus some different angles from some of the previous locations. The weather was a bit warmer than normal for that area of Montana to start but then dipped to about normal for the latter half of the week. In fact, the temps near Spotted Robe were near Zero with very gusty winds. It was the same at Bison where we were met by a very enthusiastic train crew ( I won't say anymore, I don't want to give it away). With that said I hope you enjoy the 2022 version of Winter Trains and thank you for staying with the channel. Also, and most important thanks for subscribing! (and for those who haven't please consider doing so). 😊

1:07:20 Great flames in the stacks of those Amtrak locos. Only visible at night.

[@GreatNorthernTech]

I thought they showed up well on the infra-red.

[@Hypsan]

Thanks for the enjoyable video! I'm curious what is causing all the heat waves in this scene at 7:57. TY!

[@GreatNorthernTech]

Thanks for watching. The heat waves are from the switch heaters that are used to keep the moving part of the switch from icing up. They use Propane as fuel. 😊

[@Hypsan]

@@GreatNorthernTech I figured it had to be something along those lines. Thanks for the detailed & prompt explanation!! Now I can impress a granddaughter with how clever I am should the subject ever arise. LOL

It was 82º at my house today and I needed to put on a hoodie while I watched this video. Great work sticking it out.

[@GreatNorthernTech]

Actually, 82° sounds good right now. Thanks for watching! 😊

[@jre617]

If you anticipate wind, why not get a windsock, or whatever they're called?

[@GreatNorthernTech]

Called a Dead Cat. Already using one. It would have a lot worse without one. 😊

Wow - thought I saw a car without graphite all over it - Silly me ....

Amtrak could really make their rail cars much more nice Dr than they are now by far. To go back in time of fine dining cars , the golden era of Dining by rail . The club cars , Dining cars Coach cars sleepers.They all need a serious remodeling makeovers are desperately needed . The super Chief ,California Zephyr ,Empire Buider, Broadway Ltd, Orange Blossom Special, 21 Century Ltd . Go

6:18 crazy amtrak! Baggage car in the middle of train! Do you think the people riding go through the baggage car?

[@lpvessell]

How would the people in Montana survive if it wasn’t for the trains and the interstate highways and the people complain about the government? Who do you think constructs always rail, roads and highways, and rural electric

[@woilemnouri]

super

[@johnvieira8716]

I definitely see why you can’t make a train set lay out without mountains and heavy green forests and snow .The only way to build your own layout and big .I love HO scale

Your winter videos are epic, but I have a favor to ask. I plan on railfanning from Sandpoint to Essex and from Missoula to Bozeman come the fall. Do I need to rent an off road vehicle like a jeep to get to the important must see locations or would a truck with rear wheel drive do? Thanks in advance for your answer.

[@GreatNorthernTech]

A truck with rear wheel drive should be fine unless your in ice or snow. Fall should be OK unless a early snow comes. Thanks for watching! 😊

[@Atsf1976]

@@GreatNorthernTech Thank you so much for the information. One last question. Are there any websites that you can suggest visiting for information on the region?

[@NickCarRSP]

Great Video! Love the various scenery.

[@GreatNorthernTech]

Thanks for watching Nick. 😊

cool thanks mate

[@alanh122]

Great video! Thanks for enduring the cold to film this. Would love to see a snowblower in action!

[@GreatNorthernTech]

Thanks Alan! 😊

[@Mrcharles.]

There’s a lot of controversy around railroads these days especially now with congress stepping in.

[@wel40]

How much time does it take to warm up these machines in such a hell cold?

[@GreatNorthernTech]

Unless they need to be shut off for maintenance they usually run 24/7.

[@wel40]

@@GreatNorthernTech So I wonder how the drivers keep themselves warm during night shifts.

[@YardLimit]

Great work, Kevin. Thanks!

[@GreatNorthernTech]

Thanks Tom. 😊

[@TimsTrainsChaser]

Awesome 😎

Thanks 🤗

[@foxatvoutdoorstrails6818]

Nice train

[@GreatNorthernTech]

Thanks for watching. 😊

[@royzug2847]

Nice video. It appears snow removal on a RR is quite a time consuming event. Well documented.

[@GreatNorthernTech]

Thanks!

[@DanMeyer80]

Montana is really scenic state from gentle rolling plains to the mighty Rocky Mountains! Seen it during the ride on the Empire Builder in May 2020!

[@GreatNorthernTech]

It really is Dan. Thanks for watching! 😊

Thanks for watching. 😊

[@roastedslave]

At 1:07.20 if it was just one of them with flames in the stack I'd think there was something wrong with it! No wonder those genesis locomotives sound so good. Great catch and a great film thanks.

[@GreatNorthernTech]

They definitely can put on a flame show. Thanks for watching!
