Burlington Northern/Chicago Northwestern In The Powder River Basin, WY -1991

WARNING: This is probably the most boring railroad video you'll ever watch! Two hours of Powder River Basin coal trains in uninspiring landscape. Lots of wind noise (It's Wyoming, the wind always blows). :) That out of the way, for those who want to see PRB operations in the earlier 1990's you might enjoy this video. Back in those days a good part of the PRB was still single track, with some sections of double track. Compare that with today, where most of the PRB is triple track with some sections of 4-track mainline! It was still Chicago Northwest with trackage rights into the PRB, not the UP. Lots of older power too. Tons of BN SD40-2's and C30-7's. SD60M's were just starting to show up on the scene. And brand new UP AC4400's (which are still the mainstay of UP coal train power today, after all these years). There's only one non-coal train in the entire video, a BN intermodal that spent all day slowly winding it's way through the CF of coal trains. The PRB was a total mess in those days. An engineer told me it wasn't unusual for a crew to board a train sitting in siding and sit in the same spot for 12 hours until relieved by the next crew! This video was shot a few years before the new public road was built that currently runs down to Antelope Creek and NACCO Junction, which IMO is the most scenic area of the PRB. Locations include: Walker Siding, East and West ends. East Bill and the Bill area. Middle of nowhere between NACCO Jct. and Reno Jct. Reno Jct. Loading facility at the Black Thunder Mine. All video was originally shot on 8mm tape using a Sony camcorder. Let me know if you stay awake the entire two hours! :) Enjoy.
