Western Railroad Discussion > 0 to 40 in 4.09 minutesDate: 09/01/19 22:20 0 to 40 in 4.09 minutes Author: BrianA With word BNSF is planning to replace more NP era jointed rail on the Stampede Pass route this month I headed up to Easton, WA today 9-1-19 to get video on Main 1 which will soon be welded rail from what I understand. BNSF 4640 East gets up and going from a standing stop earlier this morning at Easton. The XPSA grain empty appears to be at speed by the time the DPU passes which is 40MPH on jointed rail. Going to miss all that noise!

Trying to imagine 2 EMD's in run 8 as power.

It gets a little muddy once the train gets up to speed, but that was music. JS |
